Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.Num 27:5

The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.Num 27:8
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.Num 27:9
And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.Num 27:10
And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.Num 27:11

For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.Num 27:15

Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,Num 27:17
Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.Num 27:18
And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;Num 27:19
And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.Num 27:20
And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.Num 27:21
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.Num 27:22
And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:Num 27:23
And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.Num 28:1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Num 28:2
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.Num 28:3
And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.Num 28:4
The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;Num 28:5

It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.Num 28:7
And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.Num 28:8

And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.Num 30:1
And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.Num 30:2
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.Num 30:3
If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;Num 30:4
And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.Num 30:5
But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.Num 30:6
And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;Num 30:7
And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.Num 30:8
But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.Num 30:9
But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.Num 30:10
And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;Num 30:11
And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.Num 30:12
But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.Num 30:13
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.Num 30:14
But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.Num 30:15
But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.Num 30:16
These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.Num 31:1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Num 31:2
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.Num 31:3
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.Num 31:4
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.Num 31:5
So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.Num 31:6
And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.Num 31:7
And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.Num 31:8
And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.Num 31:9
And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.Num 31:10
And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.Num 31:11
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.Num 31:12
And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.Num 31:13
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.Num 31:14
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.Num 31:15
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?Num 31:16
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.Num 31:17
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.Num 31:18
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.Num 31:19
And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.Num 31:20
And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.Num 31:21
And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;Num 31:22
Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,Num 31:23
Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.Num 31:24
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.Num 31:25
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Num 31:26
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:Num 31:27
And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:Num 31:28
And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:Num 31:29
Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.Num 31:30
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.Num 31:31
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.Num 31:32
And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,Num 31:33
And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,Num 31:34
And threescore and one thousand asses,Num 31:35
And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.Num 31:36
And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:Num 31:37
And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.Num 31:38
And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.Num 31:39
And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one.Num 31:40
And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.Num 31:41
And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.Num 31:42
And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,Num 31:43
(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,Num 31:44
And thirty and six thousand beeves,Num 31:45
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,Num 31:46
And sixteen thousand persons;)Num 31:47
Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.Num 31:48
And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:Num 31:49
And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.Num 31:50
We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.Num 31:51
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.Num 31:52
And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.Num 31:53
(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)Num 31:54
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.Num 32:1
Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;Num 32:2
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,Num 32:3
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,Num 32:4
Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:Num 32:5
Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.Num 32:6
And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?Num 32:7
And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?Num 32:8
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.Num 32:9
For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.Num 32:10
And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,Num 32:11
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:Num 32:12
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.Num 32:13
And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.Num 32:14
And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.Num 32:15
For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.Num 32:16
And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:Num 32:17
But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.Num 32:18
We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.Num 32:19
For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.Num 32:20
And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,Num 32:21
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,Num 32:22
And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.Num 32:23
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.Num 32:24
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.Num 32:25
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.Num 32:26
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:Num 32:27
But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.Num 32:28
So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:Num 32:29
And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:Num 32:30
But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.Num 32:31
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.Num 32:32
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.Num 32:33
And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.Num 32:34
And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,Num 32:35
And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,Num 32:36
And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.Num 32:37
And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,Num 32:38
And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.Num 32:39
And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.Num 32:40
And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.Num 32:41
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.Num 32:42
And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.Num 33:1
These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.Num 33:2
And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.Num 33:3
And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.Num 33:4
For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.Num 33:5
And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.Num 33:6
And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.Num 33:7
And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.Num 33:8
And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.Num 33:9
And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.Num 33:10
And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.Num 33:11
And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.Num 33:12
And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.Num 33:13
And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.Num 33:14
And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.Num 33:15
And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.Num 33:16
And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah.Num 33:17
And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.Num 33:18
And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.Num 33:19
And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez.Num 33:20
And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.Num 33:21
And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.Num 33:22
And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.Num 33:23
And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.Num 33:24
And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.Num 33:25
And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.Num 33:26
And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.Num 33:27
And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.Num 33:28
And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.Num 33:29
And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.Num 33:30
And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.Num 33:31
And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.Num 33:32
And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.Num 33:33
And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.Num 33:34
And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.Num 33:35
And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.Num 33:36
And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.Num 33:37
And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.Num 33:38
And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.Num 33:39
And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.Num 33:40
And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.Num 33:41
And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.Num 33:42
And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.Num 33:43
And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.Num 33:44
And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.Num 33:45
And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.Num 33:46
And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim.Num 33:47
And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.Num 33:48
And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.Num 33:49
And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.Num 33:50
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,Num 33:51
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;Num 33:52
Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:Num 33:53
And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.Num 33:54
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.Num 33:55
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.Num 33:56
Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.Num 34:1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Num 34:2
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)Num 34:3
Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:Num 34:4
And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:Num 34:5
And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.Num 34:6
And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.Num 34:7
And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:Num 34:8
From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:Num 34:9
And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.Num 34:10
And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:Num 34:11
And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:Num 34:12
And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.Num 34:13
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:Num 34:14
For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:Num 34:15
The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.Num 34:16
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Num 34:17
These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.Num 34:18
And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.Num 34:19
And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.Num 34:20
And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.Num 34:21
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.Num 34:22
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.Num 34:23
The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.Num 34:24
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.Num 34:25
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.Num 34:26
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.Num 34:27
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.Num 34:28
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.Num 34:29
These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.Num 35:1
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,Num 35:2
Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.Num 35:3
And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.Num 35:4
And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.Num 35:5
And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.Num 35:6
And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.Num 35:7
So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.Num 35:8
And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.Num 35:9
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Num 35:10
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;Num 35:11
Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.Num 35:12
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.Num 35:13
And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.Num 35:14
Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.Num 35:15
These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.Num 35:16
And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.Num 35:17
And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.Num 35:18
Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.Num 35:19
The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.Num 35:20
But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;Num 35:21
Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.Num 35:22
But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,Num 35:23
Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:Num 35:24
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:Num 35:25
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.Num 35:26
But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;Num 35:27
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:Num 35:28
Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.Num 35:29
So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.Num 35:30
Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.Num 35:31
Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.Num 35:32
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.Num 35:33
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.Num 35:34
Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.Num 36:1
And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:Num 36:2
And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.Num 36:3
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.Num 36:4
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.Num 36:5
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.Num 36:6
This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.Num 36:7
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.Num 36:8
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.Num 36:9
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.Num 36:10
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:Num 36:11
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:Num 36:12
And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.Num 36:13
These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
