Numbers 1:1-54
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the
second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2
Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families,
by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their
polls; 3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel:
thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies. 4 And with you there shall be a man of
every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers. 5 And these are the names
of the men that shall stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben; Elizur the son of
Shedeur. 6 Of Simeon; Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 7 Of Judah; Nahshon the son of
Amminadab. 8 Of Issachar; Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 9 Of Zebulun; Eliab the son of Helon.
10 Of the children of Joseph: of Ephraim; Elishama the son of Ammihud: of Manasseh;
Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 11 Of Benjamin; Abidan the son of Gideoni. 12 Of Dan;
Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 13 Of Asher; Pagiel the son of Ocran. 14 Of Gad; Eliasaph
the son of Deuel. 15 Of Naphtali; Ahira the son of Enan. 16 These were the renowned
of the congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of thousands in Israel.
17 And Moses and Aaron took these men
which are expressed by their names: 18 And they assembled all the congregation
together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, by their polls. 19 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he
numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai. 20 And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest
son, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according
to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward,
all that were able to go forth to war; 21 Those that were numbered of them, even of
the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five hundred. 22 Of the
children of Simeon, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their
fathers, those that were numbered of them, according to the number of the names, by their
polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
23 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty
and nine thousand and three hundred. 24 Of the children of Gad, by their generations,
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 25 Those that
were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Gad, were forty and five
thousand six hundred and fifty. 26 Of the children of Judah, by their generations, after
their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from
twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 27 Those that were
numbered of them, even of the tribe of Judah, were threescore and fourteen
thousand and six hundred. 28 Of the children of Issachar, by their generations, after
their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from
twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 29 Those that were
numbered of them, even of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty and four
thousand and four hundred. 30 Of the children of Zebulun, by their generations, after
their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from
twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 31 Those that were
numbered of them, even of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty and seven
thousand and four hundred. 32 Of the children of Joseph, namely, of the children of
Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 33 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of
Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred. 34 Of the children of Manasseh, by
their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to
war; 35 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty
and two thousand and two hundred. 36 Of the children of Benjamin, by their generations,
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 37 Those that
were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty and five
thousand and four hundred. 38 Of the children of Dan, by their generations, after their
families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty
years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 39 Those that were numbered
of them, even of the tribe of Dan, were threescore and two thousand and
seven hundred. 40 Of the children of Asher, by their generations, after their families, by
the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old
and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 41 Those that were numbered of them, even
of the tribe of Asher, were forty and one thousand and five hundred. 42 Of the
children of Naphtali, throughout their generations, after their families, by the house of
their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all
that were able to go forth to war; 43 Those that were numbered of them, even of the
tribe of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
44 These are those that were
numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve
men: each one was for the house of his fathers. 45 So were all those that were numbered of
the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward,
all that were able to go forth to war in Israel; 46 Even all they that were numbered were
six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
47 But the Levites after the tribe of
their fathers were not numbered among them. 48 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the
children of Israel: 50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of
testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it:
they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto
it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle. 51 And when the tabernacle setteth
forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the
Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 52 And
the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man
by his own standard, throughout their hosts. 53 But the Levites shall pitch round about
the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children
of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony. 54 And
the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
(KJV)

Numbers 2:1-34
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with
the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall
they pitch.
3 And on the east side toward the rising
of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies:
and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah. 4 And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen
thousand and six hundred. 5 And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the
tribe of Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children
of Issachar. 6 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and
four thousand and four hundred. 7 Then the tribe of Zebulun: and Eliab the son of
Helon shall be captain of the children of Zebulun. 8 And his host, and those that
were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred. 9 All that
were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand and fourscore thousand
and six thousand and four hundred, throughout their armies. These shall first set forth.
10 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their
armies: and the captain of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of
Shedeur. 11 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six
thousand and five hundred. 12 And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of
Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of
Zurishaddai. 13 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and
nine thousand and three hundred. 14 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of
Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 15 And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty. 16 All
that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred thousand and fifty and one
thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in
the second rank. 17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the
camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward,
every man in his place by their standards. 18 On the west side shall be the
standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of
Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19 And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred. 20 And by him shall be the
tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel
the son of Pedahzur. 21 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty
and two thousand and two hundred. 22 Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the
sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. 23 And his host, and those

thousand and an hundred, throughout their armies. And they shall go forward in the third

Ammishaddai. 26 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore
and two thousand and seven hundred. 27 And those that encamp by him shall be the

Ocran. 28 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one
thousand and five hundred. 29 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children
of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan. 30 And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred. 31 All they that
were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven
thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards. 32 These are those
which were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those
that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand
and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. 33 But the Levites were not numbered among
the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses. 34 And the children of Israel did
according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so
they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.

Numbers 3:1-51
1 These also are the generations of
Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai. 2 And
these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar,
and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were
anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office. 4 And Nadab and Abihu
died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of
Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office
in the sight of Aaron their father. 5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 6 Bring the
tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto
him. 7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the
tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. 8 And they shall keep
all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children
of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto
Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of
Israel. 10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their
priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 11 And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying, 12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the
children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children
of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine; 13 Because all the firstborn are mine;
for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto
me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the
LORD.
14 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai, saying, 15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their
fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded. 17 And
these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. 18 And these are
the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei. 19 And the sons
of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 20 And the sons of
Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites
according to the house of their fathers. 21 Of Gershon was the family of the
Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the
Gershonites. 22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the
males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven
thousand and five hundred. 23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the
tabernacle westward. 24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall
be Eliasaph the son of Lael. 25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the
tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering
thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 26 And the
hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the
tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
27 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites,
and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the
families of the Kohathites. 28 In the number of all the males, from a month old and
upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.
30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan
the son of Uzziel. 31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the
candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and
the hanging, and all the service thereof. 32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall
be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that
keep the charge of the sanctuary. 33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and
the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari. 34 And those that
were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and
upward, were six thousand and two hundred. 35 And the chief of the house of the
father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall
pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward. 36 And under the custody and charge
of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof,
and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all
that serveth thereto, 37 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and
their pins, and their cords. 38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the
east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses,
and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children
of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 39 All that were
numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD,
throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty
and two thousand.
40 And the LORD said unto Moses, Number
all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and
take the number of their names. 41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the
LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the
Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel. 42 And
Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of
those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore
and thirteen. 44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 45 Take the Levites instead of all
the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their
cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD. 46 And for those that are to
be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the
children of Israel, which are more than the Levites; 47 Thou shalt even take five shekels
apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the
shekel is twenty gerahs:) 48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd
number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. 49 And Moses took the
redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred
and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 51 And Moses
gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the
word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses. (KJV)

Numbers 4:1-49
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after
their families, by the house of their fathers, 3 From thirty years old and upward even
until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of
the congregation. 4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the
tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things: 5 And when the camp
setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering
vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it: 6 And shall put thereon the covering of
badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in
the staves thereof. 7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue,
and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and
the continual bread shall be thereon: 8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of
scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves
thereof. 9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light,
and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof,
wherewith they minister unto it: 10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof
within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar. 11 And upon the
golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers'
skins, and shall put to the staves thereof: 12 And they shall take all the instruments of
ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of
blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a
bar: 13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth
thereon: 14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister
about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all
the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and
put to the staves of it. 15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the
sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after
that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy
thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the
tabernacle of the congregation. 16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat
offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of
all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof. 17 And the LORD
spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of
the Kohathites from among the Levites: 19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and
not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and
appoint them every one to his service and to his burden: 20 But they shall not go in to
see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
21 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by
their families; 23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou
number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of
the congregation. 24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to
serve, and for burdens: 25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the
tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is
above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 26
And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court,
which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all
the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve. 27
At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the
Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto
them in charge all their burdens. 28 This is the service of the families of the
sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under
the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt
number them after their families, by the house of their fathers; 30 From thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into
the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation. 31 And this is the
charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the
congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof,
and sockets thereof, 32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and
their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and
by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden. 33 This is the
service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the
tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
34 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of
the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the
house of their fathers, 35 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation: 36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand
seven hundred and fifty. 37 These were they that were numbered of the families of
the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which
Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by
the house of their fathers, 39 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation, 40 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the
house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty. 41 These are they
that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in
the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the
commandment of the LORD. 42 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of
Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, 43 From thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the
work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 44 Even those that were numbered of them after
their families, were three thousand and two hundred. 45 These be those that were
numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to
the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 46 All those that were numbered of the Levites,
whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the
house of their fathers, 47 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in
the tabernacle of the congregation, 48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight
thousand and five hundred and fourscore. 49 According to the commandment of the LORD they
were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to
his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses. (KJV)

Numbers 5:1-31
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one
that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: 3 Both male and female shall ye
put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the
midst whereof I dwell. 4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the
camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel. 5 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying, 6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit
any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty; 7
Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his
trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and
give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed. 8 But if the man have no
kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even
to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for
him. 9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they
bring unto the priest, shall be his. 10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his:
whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and
commit a trespass against him, 13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the
eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness
against her, neither she be taken with the manner; 14 And the spirit of jealousy
come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of
jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: 15 Then
shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the
tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put
frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial,
bringing iniquity to remembrance. 16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her
before the LORD: 17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the
dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into
the water: 18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's
head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy
offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain
with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of
thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse: 20 But if thou
hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some
man have lain with thee beside thine husband: 21 Then the priest shall charge the woman
with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a
curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy
belly to swell; 22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make
thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen,
amen. 23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out
with the bitter water: 24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that
causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and
become bitter. 25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's
hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar: 26 And the
priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it
upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. 27 And when he
hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be
defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse
shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh
shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 28 And if the woman be not
defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. 29 This is the
law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and
is defiled; 30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his
wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all
this law. 31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her
iniquity. (KJV)

Numbers 6:1-27
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall
separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto
the LORD: 3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink
no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of
grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. 4 All the days of his separation shall he eat
nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. 5 All the days
of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be
fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and
shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. 6 All the days that he separateth himself
unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body. 7 He shall not make himself unclean for
his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because
the consecration of his God is upon his head. 8 All the days of his separation he is
holy unto the LORD. 9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the
head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the
seventh day shall he shave it. 10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two
young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: 11 And
the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and
make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that
same day. 12 And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall
bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before
shall be lost, because his separation was defiled. 13 And this is the law of the
Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation: 14 And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD,
one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of
the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace
offerings, 15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and
wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink
offerings. 16 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his
sin offering, and his burnt offering: 17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice
of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall
offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering. 18 And the Nazarite shall shave the
head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall
take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under
the sacrifice of the peace offerings. 19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of
the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall
put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is
shaven: 20 And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this
is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the
Nazarite may drink wine. 21 This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and
of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand
shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his
separation.
22 And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, 23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the
children of Israel, saying unto them, 24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD
make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his
countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. 27 And they shall put my name upon the
children of Israel; and I will bless them. |

Numbers 7:1-89
1 And it came to pass on the day that
Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the
instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them,
and sanctified them; 2 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers,
who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:
3 And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a
wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the
tabernacle. 4 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 5 Take it of them, that they
may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them
unto the Levites, to every man according to his service. 6 And Moses took the wagons and
the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites. 7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons
of Gershon, according to their service: 8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the
sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron
the priest. 9 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the
sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.
10 And the princes offered for dedicating
of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering
before the altar. 11 And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each
prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar. 12 And he that offered his offering

full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering: 14 One spoon of ten shekels
of gold, full of incense: 15 One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year,
for a burnt offering: 16 One kid of the goats for a sin offering: 17 And for a sacrifice
of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this

testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him. (KJV)

Numbers 8:1-26
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall
give light over against the candlestick. 3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof
over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses. 4 And this work of the
candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was
beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made
the candlestick.
5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 6
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. 7 And thus shalt
thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them
shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves
clean. 8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour
mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering. 9 And thou
shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather
the whole assembly of the children of Israel together: 10 And thou shalt bring the Levites
before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites: 11 And
Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of
Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD. 12 And the Levites shall lay their
hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin
offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement
for the Levites. 13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and
offer them for an offering unto the LORD. 14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites
from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine. 15 And after that shall
the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt
cleanse them, and offer them for an offering. 16 For they are wholly given
unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even
instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me. 17
For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and
beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for
myself. 18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the
children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the
congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague
among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary. 20
And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the
Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did
the children of Israel unto them. 21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their
clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an
atonement for them to cleanse them. 22 And after that went the Levites in to do their
service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the
LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them. 23 And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying, 24 This is it that belongeth unto the Levites:
from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the
tabernacle of the congregation: 25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease
waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more: 26 But shall minister
with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall
do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge. (KJV)

Numbers 9:1-23
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the
land of Egypt, saying, 2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his
appointed season. 3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his
appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies
thereof, shall ye keep it. 4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should
keep the passover. 5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month
at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did
the children of Israel. 6 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of
a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and
before Aaron on that day: 7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead
body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD
in his appointed season among the children of Israel? 8 And Moses said unto them, Stand
still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you. 9 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying, 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of
your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar
off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD. 11 The fourteenth day of the second
month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to
all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it. 13 But the man that is clean,
and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be
cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his
appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among
you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover,
and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for
the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
15 And on the day that the tabernacle was
reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and
at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the
morning. 16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of
fire by night. 17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the
children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children
of Israel pitched their tents. 18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel
journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode
upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents. 19 And when the cloud tarried long upon
the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and
journeyed not. 20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle;
according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the
commandment of the LORD they journeyed. 21 And so it was, when the cloud abode from
even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they
journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they
journeyed. 22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud
tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their
tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed. 23 At the commandment
of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed:
they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
(KJV)

Numbers 10:1-36
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest
use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. 3 And when
they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And if they blow but with one trumpet,
then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather
themselves unto thee. 5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts
shall go forward. 6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the
south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 7 But
when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an
alarm. 8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall
be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations. 9 And if ye go to war in
your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the
trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from
your enemies. 10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the
beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and
over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before
your God: I am the LORD your God.
11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day
of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the
tabernacle of the testimony. 12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the
wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 13 And they first
took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 14 In
the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to
their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 And over the
host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 16 And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set
forward, bearing the tabernacle. 18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward
according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 19 And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of
Zurishaddai. 20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph
the son of Deuel. 21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the
other did set up the tabernacle against they came. 22 And the standard of the camp of
the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama
the son of Ammihud. 23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel
the son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan
the son of Gideoni. 25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which
was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer
the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel
the son of Ocran. 27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira
the son of Enan. 28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according
to their armies, when they set forward.
29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of
Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the
LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD
hath spoken good concerning Israel. 30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will
depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. 31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee;
forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us
instead of eyes. 32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what
goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee. 33 And they departed
from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD
went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them. 34
And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. 35
And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let
thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee. 36 And when it
rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel. (KJV)
11
Numbers 11:1-35
1 And when the people complained,
it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the
fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost
parts of the camp. 2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD,
the fire was quenched. 3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of
the LORD burnt among them.
4 And the mixt multitude that was among
them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give
us flesh to eat? 5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers,
and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick: 6 But now our soul is dried
away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. 7 And the
manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium. 8 And
the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it
in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it
was as the taste of fresh oil. 9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the
manna fell upon it. 10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every
man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was
displeased. 11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant?
and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all
this people upon me? 12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou
shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking
child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers? 13 Whence should I have flesh
to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may
eat. 14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for
me. 15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found
favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather
unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the
people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation,
that they may stand there with thee. 17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and
I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and
they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself
alone. 18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye
shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh
to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh,
and ye shall eat. 19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten
days, nor twenty days; 20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your
nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is
among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? 21 And
Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen;
and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month. 22 Shall the
flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea
be gathered together for them, to suffice them? 23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the
LORD'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee
or not.
24 And Moses went out, and told the people
the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set
them round about the tabernacle. 25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him,
and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy
elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they
prophesied, and did not cease. 26 But there remained two of the men in the camp,
the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit
rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto
the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp. 27 And there ran a young man, and told
Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 28 And Joshua the son of Nun,
the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses,
forbid them. 29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the
LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them! 30
And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 And there went forth a wind from the
LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a
day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about
the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. 32 And the
people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they
gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all
abroad for themselves round about the camp. 33 And while the flesh was yet between
their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and
the LORD smote the people with a very great plague. 34 And he called the name of that
place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted. 35 And the
people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth. (KJV)

Numbers 12:1-16
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses
because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us?
And the LORD heard it. 3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men
which were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses,
and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the
congregation. And they three came out. 5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the
cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and
they both came forth. 6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I
the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him
in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the
similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against
my servant Moses? 9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off the
tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron
looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. 11 And Aaron said unto Moses,
Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly,
and wherein we have sinned. 12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half
consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. 13 And Moses cried unto the LORD,
saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. 14 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her
father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out
from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again. 15 And
Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was
brought in again. 16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in
the wilderness of Paran.
