the firstborn of the children  of       
,israel3    #h3ai4 ,and have delivered  
them for a gift to ,aaron and his sons

them1    #h3bb4 ,that being purified    
they might go into the tabernacle of the
  covenant to do their services before  
,aaron and his sons4 ,as the ,lord had  
commanded ,moses touching the ,levites1 
so was it done4    #h3bc4 ,and the ,lord

twenty-five years old and  upwards1 they
 shall go in to minister in the

them3 ,stay that ,i may consult the

went before them1 for three days        
providing a place for the camp4         
#aj3cd4 ,the cloud also of the ,lord was
 over them by day when they  marched4   
#aj3ce4 ,and when the ark was lifted up1
 ,moses said3 ,arise1 ,o ,lord1 and  let

 thy enemies be scattered1 and let them 
that hate thee1 flee from  before thy   
face4    #aj3cf4 ,and when it was set   
down1 he said3 ,return1 ,o ,lord1 to the
  multitude of the host of ,israel4     
,numbers ,chapter #aa    ,the people    
murmur and are punished with fire4 ,god 
appointeth seventy  ancients for        
assistants to ,moses4 ,they prophesy4   
,the people have their  fill of flesh1  
but forthwith many die of the plague4   
#aa3a4 ,in the mean time there arose a  
murmuring of the people against the     
,lord1 as it were repining at their     
fatigue4 ,and when the ,lord heard it   
he was angry4 ,and the fire of the ,lord
 being kindled against them1  devoured  
them that were at the uttermost part of 
the camp4    #aa3b4 ,and when the people
 cried to ,moses1 ,moses prayed to the  
,lord1 and  the fire was swallowed up4  
#aa3c4 ,and he called the name of that  
place1 ,the burning3 for that the  fire 
of the ,lord had been kindled against   
them4    ,the burning444 ,hebrew1       

,taberah4    #aa3d4 ,for a mixt         
multitude of people1 that came up with  
them1 burned  with desire1 sitting and  
weeping1 the children of ,israel also   
being  joined with them1 and said3 ,who 
shall give us flesh to eat8    ,a mixt  
multitude444 ,these were people that    
came with them out of ,egypt1  who were 
not of the race of ,israel2 who1 by     
their murmuring1 drew also  the children
 of ,israel to murmur3 this should teach
 us the danger of  associating ourselves
 with the children of ,egypt1 that is1  
with the  lovers and admirers of this   
wicked world4    #aa3e4 ,we remember the
 fish that we ate in ,egypt free cost3  
the cucumbers  come into our mind1 and  
the melons1 and the leeks1 and the      
onions1 and  the garlic4    #aa3f4 ,our 
soul is dry1 our eyes behold nothing    
else but manna4    #aa3g4 ,now the manna
 was like coriander seed1 of the colour 
of bdellium4    ,bdellium444 ,bdellium1 
according to ,pliny1 #a4ba1 c4 #i4 was  
of the colour  of a man's nail1 white   

and bright4    #aa3h4 ,and the people   
went about1 and gathering it1 ground it 
in a mill1  or beat it in a mortar1 and 
boiled it in a pot1 and made cakes      
thereof  of the taste of bread tempered 
with oil4    #aa3i4 ,and when the dew   
fell in the night upon the camp1 the    
manna also  fell with it4    #aa3aj4    
,now ,moses heard the people weeping by 
their families1 every one  at the door  
of his tent4 ,and the wrath of the ,lord
 was exceedingly  enkindled3 to ,moses  
also the thing seemed insupportable4    
#aa3aa4 ,and he said to the ,lord3 ,why 
hast thou afflicted thy servant8        
,wherefore do ,i not find favour before 
thee8 ,and why hast thou laid the       
weight of all this people upon me8      
#aa3ab4 ,have ,i conceived all this     
multitude1 or begotten them1 that thou  
shouldst say to me3 ,carry them in thy  
bosom as the nurse is wont to  carry the
 little infant1 and bear them into the  
land1 for which thou  hast sworn to     
their fathers8    #aa3ac4 ,whence should

 ,i have flesh to give to so great a    
multitude8  ,they  weep against me1     
saying3 ,give us flesh that we may eat4 
#aa3ad4 ,i am not able alone to bear all
 this people1 because it is too  heavy  
for me4    #aa3ae4 ,but if it seem unto 
thee otherwise1 ,i beseech thee to kill 
me1  and let me find grace in thy eyes1 
that ,i be not afflicted with so great  
evils4    #aa3af4 ,and the ,lord said to
 ,moses3 ,gather unto me seventy men of 
the  ancients of ,israel1 whom thou     
knowest to be ancients and masters of   
the  people3 and thou shalt bring them  
to the door of the tabernacle of the    
covenant1 and shalt make them stand     
there with thee1    ,seventy men444     
,this was the first institution of the  
council or senate1  called the          
,sanhedrin1 consisting of seventy or    
seventy-two senators or  counsellors4   
#aa3ag4 ,that ,i may come down and speak
 with thee3 and ,i will take of thy     
spirit1 and will give to them1 that they
 may bear with thee the burden  of the  

people1 and thou mayest not be burthened
 alone4    #aa3ah4 ,and thou shalt say  
to the people3 ,be ye sanctified3 to    
morrow you  shall eat flesh3 for ,i have
 heard you say3 ,who will give us flesh 
to  eat8 ,it was well with us in ,egypt4
 ,that the ,lord may give you flesh1 and
  you may eat3    #aa3ai4 ,not for one  
day1 nor two1 nor five1 nor ten1 no nor 
for twenty4    #aa3bj4 ,but even for a  
month of days1 till it come out at your 
nostrils1  and become loathsome to you1 
because you have cast off the ,lord1 who
 is  in the midst of you1 and have wept 
before him1 saying3 ,why came we out  of
 ,egypt8    #aa3ba4 ,and ,moses said3   
,there are six hundred thousand footmen 
of this  people1 and sayest thou3 ,i    
will give them flesh to eat a whole     
month8    #aa3bb4 ,shall then a         
multitude of sheep and oxen be killed1  
that it may  suffice for their food8 or 
shall the fishes of the sea be gathered 
together to fill them8    #aa3bc4 ,and  
the ,lord answered him3 ,is the hand of 

the ,lord unable8 ,thou  shalt presently
 see whether my word shall come to pass 
or no4    #aa3bd4 ,moses therefore came1
 and told the people the words of the   
,lord1  and assembled seventy men of the
 ancients of ,israel1 and made them to  
stand about the tabernacle4    #aa3be4  
,and the ,lord came down in a cloud1 and
 spoke to him1 taking away  of the      
spirit that was in ,moses1 and giving to
 the seventy men4 ,and when  the spirit 
had rested on them they prophesied1 nor 
did they cease  afterwards4    #aa3bf4  
,now there remained in the camp two of  
the men1 of whom one was  called ,eldad1
 and the other ,medad1 upon whom the    
spirit rested2 for they  also had been  
enrolled1 but were not gone forth to the
 tabernacle4    #aa3bg4 ,and when they  
prophesied in the camp1 there ran a     
young man1 and  told ,moses1 saying3    
,eldad and ,medad prophesy in the camp4 
#aa3bh4 ,forthwith ,josue the son of    
,nun1 the minister of ,moses1 and chosen
  out of many1 said3 ,my lord ,moses    

forbid them4    #aa3bi4 ,but he said3   
,why hast thou emulation for me8 ,o that
 all the  people might prophesy1 and    
that the ,lord would give them his      
spirit6    #aa3cj4 ,and ,moses returned1
 with the ancients of ,israel1 into the 
camp4    #aa3ca4 ,and a wind going out  
from the ,lord1 taking quails up beyond 
the  sea brought them1 and cast them    
into the camp for the space of one day's
  journey1 on every side of the camp    
round about1 and they flew in the air   
two cubits high above the ground4       
#aa3cb4 ,the people therefore rising up 
all that day1 and night1 and the  next  
day1 gathered together of quails1 he    
that did least1 ten cores3 and  they    
dried them round about the camp4        
#aa3cc4 ,as yet the flesh was between   
their teeth1 neither had that kind  of  
meat failed3 when behold the wrath of   
the ,lord being provoked against  the   
people1 struck them with an exceeding   
great plague4    #aa3cd4 ,and that place
 was called1 ,the graves of lust3 for   

there they  buried the people that had  
lusted4 ,and departing from the graves  
of  lust1 they came unto ,haseroth1 and 
abode there4    ,the graves of lust444

 called  from their irregular desire of 
flesh4 ,in ,hebrew1 ,kibroth4

prophets4 ,mary being struck with       
leprosy1 ,aaron confesseth his fault4   
,moses prayeth for her1 and after seven 
days' separation from the camp1  she is 
restored4    #ab3a4 ,and ,mary and      
,aaron spoke against ,moses1 because of 
his wife the  ,ethiopian1               
,ethiopian444 ,sephora the wife of      
,moses was of ,madian1 which bordered   
upon the land of ,chus or ,ethiopia3    
where note1 that the ,ethiopia here     
spoken of is not that of ,africa but    
that of ,arabia4    #ab3b4 ,and they    
said3 ,hath the ,lord spoken by ,moses  
only8 ,hath he not  also spoken to us in

 like manner8 ,and when the ,lord heard 
this1    #ab3c4 7,for ,moses was a man  
exceeding meek above all men that dwelt 
upon  earth7    ,exceeding meek444      
,moses being the meekest of men1 would  
not contend for  himself2 therefore1    
,god inspired him to write here his own 
defence3 and  the ,holy ,spirit1 whose  
dictate he wrote1 obliged him to declare
 the  truth1 though it was so much to   
his own praise4    #ab3d4 ,immediately  
he spoke to him1 and to ,aaron and      
,mary3 ,come out you  three only to the 
tabernacle of the covenant4 ,and when   
they were come  out1    #ab3e4 ,the     
,lord came down in a pillar of the      
cloud1 and stood in the  entry of the   
tabernacle calling to ,aaron and ,mary4 
,and when they were  come1    #ab3f4 ,he
 said to them3 ,hear my words3 if there 
be among you a prophet of  the ,lord1 ,i
 will appear to him in a vision1 or ,i  
will speak to him in a  dream4    #ab3g4
 ,but it is not so with my servant      
,moses who is most faithful in all  my  

house3    #ab3h4 ,for ,i speak to him   
mouth to mouth3 and plainly1 and not by 
riddles  and figures doth he see the    
,lord4 ,why then were you not afraid to 
speak  ill of my servant ,moses8        
#ab3i4 ,and being angry with them he    
went away3    #ab3aj4 ,the cloud also   
that was over the tabernacle departed3  
and behold  ,mary appeared white as snow
 with a leprosy4 ,and when ,aaron had   
looked on  her1 and saw her all covered 
with leprosy1    #ab3aa4 ,he said to    
,moses3 ,i beseech thee1 my lord1 lay   
not upon us this  sin1 which we have    
foolishly committed3    #ab3ab4 ,let her
 not be as one dead1 and as an abortive 
that is cast forth  from the mother's   
womb4 ,lo1 now one half of her flesh is 
consumed with  the leprosy4    #ab3ac4  
,and ,moses cried to the ,lord1 saying  
,o ,god1 ,i beseech thee heal  her4     
#ab3ad4 ,and the ,lord answered him3 ,if
 her father had spitten upon her  face1 
ought she not to have been ashamed for  
seven days at least8 ,let  her be       

separated seven days without the camp1  
and afterwards she shall  be called     
again4    #ab3ae4 ,mary therefore was   
put out of the camp seven days3 and the 
people  moved not from that place until

pitched their tents in  the desert of

spoke to ,moses1 saying4    #ac3c4 ,send
 men to view the land of ,chanaan1 which

land1 of what sort it is1 and the people
 that are the  inhabitants thereof1

good  courage1 and bring us of the      
fruits of the land4 ,now it was the time

be eaten4    #ac3bb4 ,and when they were
 gone up1 they viewed the land from the 
desert  of ,sin1 unto ,rohob as you     
enter into ,emath4    #ac3bc4 ,and they 
went up at the south side1 and came to  
,hebron1 where  were ,achiman and ,sisai
 and ,tholmai the sons of ,enac4  ,for  
,hebron was  built seven years before   
,tanis the city of ,egypt4    #ac3bd4   
,and forward as far as the torrent of   
the cluster of grapes1 they  cut off a  
branch with its cluster of grapes1 which
 two men carried upon  a lever4 ,they   
took also of the pomegranates and of the
 figs of that  place3    #ac3be4 ,which 
was called ,nehelescol1 that is to say1 

the torrent of the  cluster of grapes1  
because from thence the children of     
,israel had  carried a cluster of       
grapes4    #ac3bf4 ,and they that went  
to spy out the land returned after forty
 days1  having gone round all the       
country1    #ac3bg4 ,and came to ,moses

the  children of ,israel to the desert  
of ,pharan1 which is in ,cades4  ,and   
speaking to them and to all the         
multitude1 they shewed them the fruits  
of the land3    #ac3bh4 ,and they       
related and said3 ,we came into the land

 may be  known by these fruits3

the south1 the ,hethite and the

people that  rose against ,moses1 said3 
,let us go up and possess the land1 for 
we  shall be able to conquer it4

with him1 said3 ,no1 we are not able  to
 go up to this people1 because they are 
stronger than we4    #ac3cc4 ,and they  
spoke ill of the land1 which they had   
viewed1 before the  children of ,israel1

 devoureth its  inhabitants3 the people1

,spoke ill1 etc444 ,these men1 who by   
their misrepresentations of the land  of
 promise1 discouraged the ,israelites

devotion1 discourage ,christians from   
seeking in earnest and  acquiring so    
great a good1 and thereby securing to   
themselves a happy  eternity4    #ac3cd4

murmurers from entering the promised    
land4 ,the authors of the sedition are  
struck dead4 ,the rest going to  fight  
against the will of ,god are beaten4    
#ad3a4 ,therefore the whole multitude   
crying wept that night4    #ad3b4 ,and  
all the children of ,israel murmured    
against ,moses and ,aaron1  saying3     
#ad3c4 ,would ,god that we had died in  
,egypt3 and would ,god we may die in    
this vast wilderness1 and that the ,lord
 may not bring us into this land1  lest 
we fall by the sword1 and our wives and 
children be led away  captives4 ,is it  
not better to return into ,egypt8       
#ad3d4 ,and they said one to another3   
,let us appoint a captain1 and let us   
return into ,egypt4    #ad3e4 ,and when 
,moses and ,aaron heard this1 they fell 

down flat upon the  ground before the   
multitude of the children of ,israel4   
#ad3f4 ,but ,josue the son of ,nun1 and 
,caleb the son of ,jephone1 who         
themselves also had viewed the land1    
rent their garments1    #ad3g4 ,and said
 to all the multitude of the children of

round is very good3    #ad3h4 ,if the   
,lord be favourable1 he will bring us   
into it1 and give us a  land flowing    
with milk and honey4    #ad3i4 ,be not

ye not the people of  this land1 for we 
are able to eat them up as bread4 ,all  
aid is gone from  them3 the ,lord is    
with us1 fear ye not4    #ad3aj4 ,and   
when all the multitude cried out1 and   
would have stoned them1  the glory of   
the ,lord appeared over the tabernacle  
of the covenant to  all the children of 
,israel4    #ad3aa4 ,and the ,lord said 
to ,moses3 ,how long will this people   
detract me8  how long will they not     
believe me for all the signs that ,i    

have wrought  before them8    #ad3ab4 ,i
 will strike them therefore with        
pestilence1 and will consume  them3 but 
thee ,i will make a ruler over a great  
nation1 and a mightier  than this is4

,that the ,egyptians1 from the midst of 
whom thou hast brought forth this       
people1    #ad3ad4 ,and the inhabitants 
of this land1 7who have heard that thou1

art seen face to face1 and thy cloud    
protecteth them1 and thou goest before  
them in a pillar of a cloud by  day1 and
 in a pillar of fire by night17         
#ad3ae4 ,may hear that thou hast killed 
so great a multitude as it were  one man
 and may say3    #ad3af4 ,he could not  
bring the people into the land for which
 he had  sworn1 therefore did he kill   
them in the wilderness4    #ad3ag4 ,let 
then the strength of the ,lord be       
magnified1 as thou hast  sworn1 saying3 
#ad3ah4 ,the ,lord is patient and full  
of mercy1 by taking away iniquity  and  

wickedness1 and leaving no man clear1   
who visitest the sins of the  fathers   
upon the children unto the third and    
fourth generation4    ,clear444 i4 e41  
who deserves punishment4    #ad3ai4     
,forgive1 ,i beseech thee1 the sins of  
this people1 according to  the greatness
 of thy mercy1 as thou hast been        
merciful to them from  their going out  
of ,egypt unto this place4    #ad3bj4

according to thy word4    #ad3ba4 ,as ,i
 live3 and the whole earth shall be     
filled with the glory of  the ,lord4    
#ad3bb4 ,but yet all the men that have  
seen my majesty1 and the signs that  ,i 
have done in ,egypt1 and in the         
wilderness1 and have tempted me now ten 
times1 and have not obeyed my voice1

detracted me behold it4    #ad3bd4 ,my  
servant ,caleb1 who being full of       
another spirit hath followed  me1 ,i    

will bring into this land which he hath 
gone round3 and his seed  shall possess 
it4    #ad3be4 ,for the ,amalecite and  
the ,chanaanite dwell in the valleys4   
,to  morrow remove the camp1 and return 
into the wilderness by the way of the   
,red ,sea4    #ad3bf4 ,and the ,lord    
spoke to ,moses and ,aaron1 saying3     
#ad3bg4 ,how long doth this wicked      
multitude murmur against me8 ,i have    
heard the murmurings of the children of 
,israel4    #ad3bh4 ,say therefore to   
them3 ,as ,i live1 saith the ,lord3

carcasses lie4 ,all you that were       
numbered from twenty years old and      
upward1 and have murmured against me1

 you dwell therein1 except ,caleb the   
son of ,jephone1 and ,josue the  son of

whom you said1 that they should be a    

prey  to the enemies1 will ,i bring in3

the desert forty years1 and shall  bear 
your fornication1 until the carcasses of
 their fathers be consumed  in the      
desert1    ,shall bear your             
fornication444 ,that is1 shall bear the 
punishment of  your disloyalty to ,god1 
which in the scripture language is here 
called a  fornication1 in a spiritual   
sense4    #ad3cd4 ,according to the     
number of the forty days1 wherein you   
viewed the  land3 a year shall be       
counted for a day4 ,and forty years you 
shall  receive your iniquities1 and     
shall know my revenge3    #ad3ce4 ,for  
as ,i have spoken1 so will ,i do to all 
this wicked multitude1  that hath risen 
up together against me3 in this         
wilderness shall it  faint away and die4
    #ad3cf4 ,therefore all the men1 whom
 ,moses had sent to view the land1 and  

who at their return had made the whole  
multitude to murmur against him1        
speaking ill of the land that it was    
naught1    #ad3cg4 ,died and were struck
 in the sight of the ,lord4    #ad3ch4  
,but ,josue the son of ,nun1 and ,caleb 
had gone to view the land4    #ad3ci4   
,and ,moses spoke all these words to all
 the children of ,israel1  and the      
people mourned exceedingly4    #ad3dj4  
,and behold rising up very early in the 
morning1 they went up to  the top of the
 mountain1 and said3 ,we are ready to go
 up to the place1  of which the ,lord   
hath spoken3 for we have sinned4        
#ad3da4 ,and ,moses said to them3 ,why  
transgress you the word of the ,lord1   
which shall not succeed prosperously    
with you8    #ad3db4 ,go not up1 for the
 ,lord is not with you3 lest you fall   
before  your enemies4    #ad3dc4 ,the   
,amalecite and the ,chanaanite are      
before you1 and by their  sword you     
shall fall1 because you would not       
consent to the ,lord1 neither  will the 

,lord be with you4    #ad3dd4 ,but they 
being blinded went up to the top of the 
mountain4  ,but  the ark of the         
testament of the ,lord and ,moses       
departed not from the  camp4    #ad3de4 
,and the ,amalecite came down1 and the  
,chanaanite that dwelt in the  mountain3
 and smiting and slaying them pursued   
them as far as ,horma4    ,numbers

 sacrifices4 ,sabbath breaking is       
punished with  death4 ,the law of

#ae3b4 ,speak to the children of ,israel
 and thou shalt say to them3 ,when  you 
shall be come unto the land of your     
habitation1 which ,i will give  you1    
#ae3c4 ,and shall make an offering to   
the ,lord1 for a holocaust1 or a        
victim1 paying your vows1 or voluntarily
 offering gifts1 or in your  solemnities
 burning a sweet savour unto the ,lord1 
of oxen or of sheep3    #ae3d4          
,whosoever immolateth the victim1 shall 

offer a sacrifice of fine  flour1 the   
tenth part of an ephi1 tempered with the
 fourth part of a hin  of oil3    #ae3e4
 ,and he shall give the same measure of 
wine to pour out in  libations for the  
holocaust or for the victim4 ,for every 
lamb1    #ae3f4 ,and for every ram there
 shall be a sacrifice of flour of two   
tenths1 which shall be tempered with the
 third part of a hin of oil3    #ae3g4  
,and he shall offer the third part the  
same measure of wine for the  libation1 
for a sweet savour to the ,lord4        
#ae3h4 ,but when thou offerest a        
holocaust or sacrifice of oxen1 to      
fulfil  thy vow or for victims of peace 
offerings1    #ae3i4 ,thou shalt give   
for every ox three tenths of flour      
tempered with  half a hin of oil1       
#ae3aj4 ,and wine for libations of the  
same measure1 for an offering of  most  
sweet savour to the ,lord4    #ae3aa4

every ox and ram and lamb and kid4

rite4    #ae3ae4 ,there shall be all one
 law and judgment both for you and for  
them  who are strangers in the land4

saying3    #ae3ag4 ,speak to the        
children of ,israel1 and thou shalt say 
to them3    #ae3ah4 ,when you are come  
into the land which ,i will give you1   
#ae3ai4 ,and shall eat of the bread of  
that country1 you shall separate        
firstfruits to the ,lord1    #ae3bj4 ,of
 the things you eat4 ,as you separate   
firstfruits of your  barnfloors3        
#ae3ba4 ,so also shall you give         
firstfruits of your dough to the ,lord4 
#ae3bb4 ,and if through ignorance you   
omit any of these things1 which the     
,lord hath spoken to ,moses1    #ae3bc4 
,and by him hath commanded you from the 
day that he began to  command and       
thenceforward1    #ae3bd4 ,and the      
multitude have forgotten to do it3 they 
shall offer a  calf out of the herd1 a  

holocaust for a most sweet savour to the
 ,lord1  and the sacrifice and libations
 thereof1 as the ceremonies require1 and
  a buck goat for sin3    #ae3be4 ,and  
the priest shall pray for all the       
multitude of the children  of ,israel3  
and it shall be forgiven them1 because  
they sinned  ignorantly1 offering       
notwithstanding a burnt offering to the 
,lord for  themselves and for their sin 
and their ,ignorance3    #ae3bf4 ,and it
 shall be forgiven all the people of the
 children of  ,israel3 and the strangers
 that sojourn among them3 because it is 
the  fault of all the people through    
ignorance4    #ae3bg4 ,but if one soul  
shall sin ignorantly1 he shall offer a  
she goat  of a year old for his sin4    
#ae3bh4 ,and the priest shall pray for  
him1 because he sinned ignorantly       
before the ,lord3 and he shall obtain   
his pardon1 and it shall be  forgiven   
him4    #ae3bi4 ,the same law shall be  
for all that sin by ignorance1 whether  
they  be natives or strangers4          

#ae3cj4 ,but the soul that committeth   
any thing through pride1 whether he  be 
born in the land or a stranger 7because 
he hath been rebellious  against the    
,lord7 shall be cut off from among his  
people3    #ae3ca4 ,for he hath         
contemned the word of the ,lord1 and    
made void his  precept3 therefore shall 
he be destroyed1 and shall bear his     
iniquity4    #ae3cb4 ,and it came to    
pass1 when the children of ,israel were 
in the  wilderness1 and had found a man 
gathering sticks on the sabbath day1    
#ae3cc4 ,that they brought him to ,moses
 and ,aaron and the whole multitude4    
#ae3cd4 ,and they put him into prison1  
not knowing what they should do  with   
him4    #ae3ce4 ,and the ,lord said to  
,moses3 ,let that man die1 let all the  
multitude stone him without the camp4   
#ae3cf4 ,and when they had brought him  
out1 they stoned him1 and he died  as   
the ,lord had commanded4    #ae3cg4 ,the
 ,lord also said to ,moses3    #ae3ch4  
,speak to the children of ,israel1 and  

thou shalt tell them to make  to        
themselves fringes in the corners of    
their garments1 putting in them  ribands
 of blue3    ,fringes444 ,the ,pharisees
 enlarged these fringes through         
hypocrisy1 ,matt4  #bc4e1 to appear more
 zealous than other men for the law of  
,god4    #ae3ci4 ,that when they shall  
see them1 they may remember all the     
commandments of the ,lord1 and not      
follow their own thoughts and eyes      
going astray after divers things1       
#ae3dj4 ,but rather being mindful of the
 precepts of the ,lord1 may do them  and
 be holy to their ,god4    #ae3da4 ,i am

might be your ,god4    ,numbers ,chapter
 #af    ,the schism of ,core and his    
adherents3 their punishment4    #af3a4

 son of ,caath1 the son of  ,levi1 and  
,dathan and ,abiron the sons of ,eliab1 
and ,hon the son of  ,pheleth of the    
children of ,ruben1    #af3b4 ,rose up  

against ,moses1 and with them two       
hundred and fifty others  of the        
children of ,israel1 leading men of the 
synagogue1 and who in the  time of      
assembly were called by name4    ,rose  
up444 ,the crime of these men1 which was
 punished in so remarkable a  manner1   
was that of schism1 and of rebellion    
against the authority  established by   
,god in the church2 and their pretending
 to the priesthood  without being       
lawfully called and sent3 the same is   
the case of all  modern sectaries4      
#af3c4 ,and when they had stood up      
against ,moses and ,aaron1 they said3   
,let  it be enough for you1 that all the
 multitude consisteth of holy ones1  and
 the ,lord is among them3 ,why lift you 
up yourselves above the people  of the  
,lord8    #af3d4 ,when ,moses heard     
this1 he fell flat on his face3         
#af3e4 ,and speaking to ,core and all   
the multitude1 he said3 ,in the  morning
 the ,lord will make known who belong to
 him1 and the holy he will  join to     

himself3 and whom he shall choose1 they 
shall approach to him4    #af3f4 ,do    
this therefore3 ,take every man of you  
your censers1 thou ,core1  and all thy  
company4    #af3g4 ,and putting fire in 
them to morrow1 put incense upon it     
before the  ,lord3 and whomsoever he    
shall choose1 the same shall be holy3   
you take  too much upon you1 ye sons of 
,levi4    #af3h4 ,and he said again to  
,core3 ,hear ye sons of ,levi4    #af3i4
 ,is it a small thing unto you1 that the
 ,god of ,israel hath spared  you from  
all the people1 and joined you to       
himself1 that you should  serve him in  
the service of the tabernacle1 and      
should stand before the  congregation of
 the people1 and should minister to him8
    #af3aj4 ,did he therefore make thee 
and all thy brethren the sons of ,levi  
to approach unto him1 that you should   
challenge to yourselves the  priesthood 
also1    #af3aa4 ,and that all thy      
company should stand against the ,lord8 
for what  is ,aaron that you murmur     

against him8    #af3ab4 ,then ,moses    
sent to call ,dathan and ,abiron the    
sons of ,eliab4 ,but  they answered3 ,we
 will not come4    #af3ac4 ,is it a     
small matter to thee1 that thou hast    
brought us out of a  land that flowed   
with milk and honey1 to kill us in the  
desert1 except  thou rule also like a   
lord over us8    #af3ad4 ,thou hast     
brought us indeed into a land that      
floweth with rivers  of milk and honey1 
and hast given us possessions of fields 
and  vineyards2 wilt thou also pull out 
our eyes8 ,we will not come4    #af3ae4 
,moses therefore being very angry1 said 
to the ,lord3 ,respect not  their       
sacrifices3 thou knowest that ,i have   
not taken of them so much as  a young   
ass at any time1 nor have injured any of
 them4    ,very angry444 ,this anger was
 a zeal against sin2 and an indignation 
at  the affront offered to ,god2 like   
that which the same holy prophet        
conceived upon the sight of the golden  
calf1 ,ex4 #cb4ai4    #af3af4 ,and he   

said to ,core3 ,do thou and thy         
congregation stand apart  before the    
,lord to morrow1 and ,aaron apart4      
#af3ag4 ,take every one of you censers1 
and put incense upon them1  offering to 
the ,lord two hundred and fifty censers3
 let ,aaron also hold  his censer4      
#af3ah4 ,when they had done this1 ,moses
 and ,aaron standing1    #af3ai4 ,and   
had drawn up all the multitude against  
them to the door of  the tabernacle1 the
 glory of the ,lord appeared to them    
all4    #af3bj4 ,and the ,lord speaking 
to ,moses and ,aaron1 said3    #af3ba4  
,separate yourselves from among this    
congregation1 that ,i may  presently    
destroy them4    #af3bb4 ,they fell flat
 on their face1 and said3 ,o most       
mighty1 the ,god of  the spirits of all 
flesh1 for one man's sin shall thy wrath
 rage against  all8    #af3bc4 ,and the 
,lord said to ,moses3    #af3bd4        
,command the whole people to separate   
themselves from the tents of  ,core and 
,dathan and ,abiron4    #af3be4 ,and    

,moses arose1 and went to ,dathan and   
,abiron3 and the ancients  of ,israel   
following him1    #af3bf4 ,he said to   
the multitude3 ,depart from the tents of
 these wicked  men1 and touch nothing of
 theirs1 lest you be involved in their  
sins4    #af3bg4 ,and when they were    
departed from their tents round about1  
,dathan  and ,abiron coming out stood in
 the entry of their pavilions with their
  wives and children1 and all the       
people4    #af3bh4 ,and ,moses said3 ,by
 this you shall know that the ,lord hath
 sent me  to do all things that you see1
 and that ,i have not forged them of my 
own  head3    #af3bi4 ,if these men die 
the common death of men1 and if they be 
visited  with a plague1 wherewith others
 also are wont to be visited1 the ,lord 
did not send me4    #af3cj4 ,but if the 
,lord do a new thing1 and the earth     
opening her mouth  swallow them down1   
and all things that belong to them1 and 
they go down  alive into hell1 you shall
 know that they have blasphemed the     

,lord4    #af3ca4 ,and immediately as he
 had made an end of speaking1 the earth 
broke asunder under their feet3         
#af3cb4 ,and opening her mouth1 devoured
 them with their tents and all  their   
substance4    #af3cc4 ,and they went    
down alive into hell1 the ground closing
 upon them1  and they perished from     
among the people4    #af3cd4 ,but all   
,israel1 that was standing round about1 
fled at the cry of  them that were      
perishing3 saying3 ,lest perhaps the    
earth swallow us up  also4    #af3ce4   
,and a fire coming out from the ,lord1  
destroyed the two hundred  and fifty men
 that offered the incense4    #af3cf4   
,and the ,lord spoke to ,moses1 saying3 
#af3cg4 ,command ,eleazar the son of    
,aaron the priest to take up the        
censers that lie in the burning1 and to 
scatter the fire of one side and  the   
other3 because they are sanctified      
#af3ch4 ,in the deaths of the sinners3  
and let him beat them into plates1  and 
fasten them to the altar1 because       

incense hath been offered in them  to   
the ,lord1 and they are sanctified1 that
 the children of ,israel may  see them  
for a sign and a memorial4    #af3ci4   
,then ,eleazar the priest took the      
brazen censers1 wherein they had        
offered1 whom the burning fire had      
devoured1 and beat them into plates1    
fastening them to the altar3    #af3dj4 
,that the children of ,israel might have
 for the time to come  wherewith they   
should be admonished1 that no stranger  
or any one that is  not of the seed of  
,aaron should come near to offer incense
 to the ,lord1  lest he should suffer as
 ,core suffered1 and all his            
congregation1  according as the ,lord   
spoke to ,moses4    #af3da4 ,the        
following day all the multitude of the  
children of ,israel  murmured against   
,moses and ,aaron1 saying3 ,you have    
killed the people of  the ,lord4        
#af3db4 ,and when there arose a         
sedition1 and the tumult increased1     
#af3dc4 ,moses and ,aaron fled to the   

tabernacle of the covenant4  ,and when  
they were gone into it1 the cloud       
covered it1 and the glory of the ,lord  
appeared4    #af3dd4 ,and the ,lord said
 to ,moses3    #af3de4 ,get you out from
 the midst of this multitude1 this      
moment will ,i  destroy them4 ,and as   
they were lying on the ground1          
#af3df4 ,moses said to ,aaron3 ,take the
 censer1 and putting fire in it from    
the altar1 put incense upon it1 and go  
quickly to the people to pray for  them3
 for already wrath is gone out from the 
,lord1 and the plague  rageth4          
#af3dg4 ,when ,aaron had done this1 and 
had run to the midst of the  multitude  
which the burning fire was now          
destroying1 he offered the  incense3    
#af3dh4 ,and standing between the dead  
and the living1 he prayed for the       
people1 and the plague ceased4          
#af3di4 ,and the number of them that    
were slain was fourteen thousand and    
seven hundred men1 besides them that had
 perished in the sedition of  ,core4    

#af3ej4 ,and ,aaron returned to ,moses  
to the door of the tabernacle of the    
covenant after the destruction was over4

priesthood is confirmed to ,aaron by the
 miracle of the blooming of  his rod1   
which is kept for a monument in the     
tabernacle4    #ag3a4 ,and the ,lord    
spoke to ,moses1 saying3    #ag3b4      
,speak to the children of ,israel1 and  
take of every one of them a  rod by     
their kindreds1 of all the princes of   
the tribes1 twelve rods1  and write the 
name of every man upon his rod4

for the tribe of ,levi1 and one rod     
shall contain all their families3

the tabernacle of the covenant  before

thee4    #ag3e4 ,whomsoever of these ,i 
shall choose1 his rod shall blossom3 and

murmurings of the children of ,israel1  
wherewith they murmur against you4

 of ,israel3 and all the princes  gave  
him rods one for every tribe3 and there 
were twelve rods besides  the rod of    
,aaron4    #ag3g4 ,and when ,moses had  
,laid them up before the ,lord in the   
tabernacle  of the testimony3    #ag3h4

found that the rod of ,aaron  for the   
house of ,levi1 was budded3 and that the
 buds swelling it hid  bloomed blossoms1
 which spreading the leaves1 were formed
 into almonds4    ,the rod of ,aaron for
 the house of ,levi1 was budded1 etc444

miraculously brought forth fruit1 was a 
figure of the  blessed ,virgin

    #ag3i4 ,moses therefore brought out 
all the rods from before the ,lord to   
all the children of ,israel3 and they   
saw1 and every one received their  rods4
    #ag3aj4 ,and the ,lord said to

thee and to thy sons4    ,a covenant of 
salt444 ,it is a proverbial expression1

perpetual1 like that by which it was    
appointed1 that salt should be used in  
every sacrifice4 ,lev4 #b4    #ah3bj4

to the sons of ,levi all the tithes of

approach any more to the  tabernacle1

better things of the tithes1 it shall be

in sacrifice for sin1 and  consumed with
 fire without the camp1 with the ashes

unclean were to be expiated and         
purified2 was a figure  of the passion

them forth without the camp in a most   
clean place1 that they  may be reserved

 abode in ,cades4 ,and  ,mary died      
there1 and was buried in the same place4

    #bj3b4 ,and the people wanting      
water1 came together against ,moses and 
,aaron3    #bj3c4 ,and making a         
sedition1 they said3 ,would ,god we had 
perished among  our brethren before the 
,lord4    #bj3d4 ,why have you brought  
out the church of the ,lord into the    
wilderness1 that both we and our cattle

 us come up out of ,egypt1 and have     
brought us  into this wretched place    
which cannot be sowed1 nor bringeth     
forth figs1  nor vines1 nor             
pomegranates1 neither is there any water
 to drink8    #bj3f4 ,and ,moses and    
,aaron leaving the multitude1 went into 
the  tabernacle of the covenant1 and    
fell flat upon the ground1 and cried to 
the ,lord1 and said4 ,o ,lord ,god1 hear
 the cry of this people1 and open to    
them thy treasure1 a fountain of living 
water1 that being satisfied1  they may  
cease to murmur4 ,and the glory of the  
,lord appeared over them4    #bj3g4 ,and
 the ,lord spoke to ,moses1 saying3     

#bj3h4 ,take the rod1 and assemble the  
people together1 thou and ,aaron thy    
brother1 and speak to the rock before   
them1 and it shall yield waters4  ,and  
when thou hast brought forth water out  
of the rock1 all the  multitude and     
their cattle shall drink4    #bj3i4

 before the ,lord1 as he had  commanded 
him1    #bj3aj4 ,and having gathered    
together the multitude before the rock1 
he  said to them3 ,hear1 ye rebellious  
and incredulous3 ,can we bring you      
forth water out of this rock8    #bj3aa4
 ,and when ,moses bad lifted up his     
hand1 and struck the rock twice  with   
the rod1 there came forth water in great
 abundance1 so that the  people and     
their cattle drank1    ,the rock444     
,this rock was a figure of ,christ1 and 
the water that issued  out from the     
rock1 of his precious blood1 the source 
of all our good4    #bj3ab4 ,and the

sanctify me before the children of      
,israel1 you shall not  bring these     
people into the land1 which ,i will give
 them4    ,you have not believed1 etc444
 ,the fault of ,moses and ,aaron1 on    
this  occasion1 was a certain diffidence
 and weakness of faith2 not doubting  of
 ,god's power or veracity2 but          
apprehending the unworthiness of that   
rebellious and incredulous people1 and  
therefore speaking with some  ambiguity4
    #bj3ac4 ,this is the ,water of      
contradiction1 where the children of    
,israel  strove with words against the  
,lord1 and he was sanctified in them4

strife4 ,hebrew1 ,meribah4    #bj3ad4

 our fathers went down into ,egypt1 and 
there we  dwelt a long time1 and the

thee that we may have leave to pass

common  highway1 neither turning aside  
to the right hand1 nor to the left1 till
  we are past thy borders4    #bj3ah4

not pass by me3 if thou dost ,i  will   
come out armed against thee4    #bj3ai4

will go by the beaten way3  and if we   
and our cattle drink of thy waters1 we  
will give thee what is  just3 there     
shall be no difficulty in the price1    
only let us pass  speedily4    #bj3bj4  
,but he answered3 ,thou shalt not pass4 
,and immediately he came  forth to meet 

them with an infinite multitude1 and a  
strong hand1    #bj3ba4 ,neither would  
he condescend to their desire to grant  
them passage  through his borders4      
,wherefore ,israel turned another way   
from him4    #bj3bb4 ,and when they had 
removed the camp from ,cades1 they came 
to mount  ,hor1 which is in the borders 
of the land of ,edom3    #bj3bc4 ,where 
the ,lord spoke to ,moses3    #bj3bd4   
,let ,aaron1 saith he1 go to his people3

commanded3 and they went up into mount

 of his vestments1 he vested  ,eleazar  
his son with them4    #bj3bi4 ,and      
,aaron being dead in the top of the     
mountain1 he came down  with ,eleazar4

 the ,chanaanite1 who dwelt towards the 
south1  had heard this1 to wit1 that    
,israel was come by the way of the      
spies1 he  fought against them1 and     
overcoming them carried off their       
spoils4    #ba3b4 ,but ,israel binding  
himself by vow to the ,lord1 said3 ,if  
thou wilt  deliver thus people into my  
hand1 ,i will utterly destroy their     
cities4    #ba3c4 ,and the ,lord heard  
the prayers of ,israel1 and delivered up

 the  ,chanaanite1 and they cut them off

called the name of that place ,horma1   
that is to say1 ,anathema4

compass the land of ,edom4 ,and the     
people began to be weary  of their      
journey and labour3    #ba3e4 ,and      
speaking against ,god and ,moses1 they  
said3 ,why didst thou  bring us out of

our soul now loatheth this very light   
food4    ,very light food444 ,so they   
call the heavenly manna3 thus worldlings
  loathe the things of heaven1 for which
 they have no relish4    #ba3f4         
,wherefore the ,lord sent among the     
people fiery serpents1 which bit  them  
and killed many of them4    ,fiery      
serpents444 ,they are so called1 because
 they that were bitten by  them were    

burnt with a violent heat4    #ba3g4

said2 ,we have sinned1 because  we have 
spoken against the ,lord and thee3 pray 
that he may take away  these serpents   
from us4 ,and ,moses prayed for the     
people4    #ba3h4 ,and the ,lord said to
 him3 ,make a brazen serpent1 and set it
 up for  a sign3 whosoever being struck 
shall look on it1 shall live4    #ba3i4 
,moses therefore made a brazen serpent1 
and set it up for a sign3  which when   
they that were bitten looked upon1 they 
were healed4    ,a brazen serpent444    
,this was a figure of ,christ crucified1
 and of the  efficacy of a lively faith 
in him1 against the bites of the hellish
  serpent4 ,john #c4ad4    #ba3aj4 ,and 
the children of ,israel setting forwards
 camped in ,oboth4    #ba3aa4 ,and      
departing thence they pitched their     
tents in ,jeabarim1 in the  wilderness1 
that faceth ,moab toward the east4      
#ba3ab4 ,and removing from thence1 they 
came to the torrent ,zared3    #ba3ac4  

,which they left and encamped over      
against ,arnon1 which is in the  desert 
and standeth out on the borders of the  
,amorrhite4  ,for ,arnon is  the border 
of ,moab1 dividing the ,moabites and the
 ,amorrhites4    #ba3ad4 ,wherefore it  
is said in the book of the wars of the  
,lord3 ,as he  did in the ,red ,sea1 so 
will he do in the streams of ,arnon4    
,the book of the wars1 etc444 ,an       
ancient book1 which1 like several others
  quoted in scripture1 has been lost4

bowed down that they might rest in  ,ar1
 and lie down in the borders of the     
,moabites4    #ba3af4 ,when they went   
from that place1 the well appeared      
whereof the  ,lord said to ,moses3      
,gather the people together1 and ,i will
 give them  water4    #ba3ag4 ,then     
,israel sung this song3 ,let the well   
spring up4 ,they sung  thereto3

dug1 and the chiefs of the people       
prepared by the direction of the

in the country of ,moab1 to the top of

messengers to ,sehon king of the        
,amorrhites1  saying3    #ba3bb4 ,i     
beseech thee that ,i may have leave to  
pass through thy land3 we  will not go  
aside into the fields or the vineyards1 
we will not drink  waters of the wells1 
we will go the king's highway1 till we  
be past thy  borders4    #ba3bc4 ,and he
 would not grant that ,israel should    
pass by his borders3  but rather        
gathering an army1 went forth to meet   
them in the desert1 and  came to ,jasa  
and fought against them4    #ba3bd4 ,and
 he was slain by them with the edge of  
the sword1 and they  possessed his land 
from the ,arnon unto the ,jeboc1 and to 
the confines of  the children of ,ammon3

 for the borders of the ,ammonites1 were
 kept with  a strong garrison4          
#ba3be4 ,so ,israel took all his cities1
 and dwelt in the cities of the

the villages thereof4    #ba3bf4

 the king of ,moab3 and took all the    
land1 that had been of  his dominion1 as
 far as the ,arnon4    #ba3bg4

some to take a view of ,jazer3 and they 
took the  villages of it1 and conquered 
the inhabitants4    #ba3cc4 ,and they   
turned themselves1 and went up by the   
way of ,basan1 and  ,og the king of

didst to ,sehon the king of the

    #bb3a4 ,and they went forward and   
encamped in the plains of ,moab1 over   

against where ,jericho is situate beyond
 the ,jordan4    #bb3b4 ,and ,balac the 
son of ,sephor1 seeing all that ,israel 
had done to  the ,amorrhite1    #bb3c4  
,and that the ,moabites were in great   
fear of him1 and were not able  to      
sustain his assault1    #bb3d4 ,he said 
to the elders of ,madian3 ,so will this 
people destroy all  that dwell in our   
borders1 as the ox is wont to eat the   
grass to the  very roots4 ,now he was at
 that time king in ,moab4    #bb3e4 ,he 
sent therefore messengers to ,balaam the
 son of ,beor1 a  soothsayer1 who dwelt 
by the river of the land of the children
 of ,ammon1  to call him1 and to say3   
,behold a people is come out of ,egypt1 
that hath  covered the face of the      
earth1 sitting over against me4         
#bb3f4 ,come therefore1 and curse this  
people1 because it is mightier than  ,i3
 if by any means ,i may beat them and   
drive them out of my land3 for ,i  know 
that he whom thou shalt bless is        
blessed1 and he whom thou shalt  curse  

is cursed4    #bb3g4 ,and the ancients  
of ,moab1 and the elders of ,madian1    
went with the  price of divination in   
their hands4 ,and where they were come  
to ,balaam1  and had told him all the   
words of ,balac3    #bb3h4 ,he answered3
 ,tarry here this night and ,i will     
answer whatsoever  the ,lord shall say  
to me4 ,and while they stayed with      
,balaam1 ,god came  and said to him3    
#bb3i4 ,what mean these men that are    
with thee8    #bb3aj4 ,he answered3     
,balac the son of ,sephor king of the   
,moabites hath  sent to me1    #bb3aa4  
,saying3 ,behold a people that is come  
out of ,egypt1 hath covered  the face of
 the land3 come and curse them1 if by   
any means ,i may fight  with them and   
drive them away4    #bb3ab4 ,and ,god   
said to ,balaam3 ,thou shalt not go with
 them1 nor shalt  thou curse the people3
 because it is blessed4    #bb3ac4 ,and 
he rose in the morning and said to the  
princes3 ,go into your  country1 because
 the ,lord hath forbid me to come with  

you4    #bb3ad4 ,the princes returning1 
said to ,balac3 ,balaam would not come  
with  us4    #bb3ae4 ,then he sent many 
more and more noble than he had sent    
before3    #bb3af4 ,who1 when they were 
come to ,balaam1 said3 ,thus saith      
,balac the  son of ,sephor1 ,delay not  
to come to me3    #bb3ag4 ,for ,i am    
ready to honour thee1 and will give thee
 whatsoever thou  wilt3 come and curse  
this people4    #bb3ah4 ,balaam         
answered3 ,if ,balac would give me his  
house full of silver  and gold1 ,i      
cannot alter the word of the ,lord my   
,god1 to speak either  more or less4    
#bb3ai4 ,i pray you to stay here this   
night also1 that ,i may know what the   
,lord will answer me once more4    ,to  
stay444 ,his desiring them to stay1     
after he had been fully informed        
already that it was not ,god's will he  
should go1 came from the  inclination he
 had to gratify ,balac1 for the sake of 
worldly gain4 ,and  this perverse       
disposition ,god punished by permitting 

him to go 7though  not to curse the     
people as he would willingly have done71
 and suffering  him to fall still deeper
 and deeper into sin1 till he came at   
last to  give that abominable counsel   
against the people of ,god1 which ended 
in  his own destruction4 ,so sad a thing
 it is to indulge a passion for  money4 
#bb3bj4 ,god therefore came to ,balaam  
in the night1 and said to him3 ,if      
these men be come to call thee1 arise   
and go with them3 yet so1 that  thou do 
what ,i shall command thee4    #bb3ba4  
,balaam arose in the morning1 and       
saddling his ass went with them4        
#bb3bb4 ,and ,god was angry4 ,and an    
angel of the ,lord stood in the way     
against ,balaam1 who sat on the ass1 and
 had two servants with him4    #bb3bc4  
,the ass seeing the angel standing in   
the way1 with a drawn sword1  turned    
herself out of the way1 and went into   
the field4 ,and when ,balaam  beat her1 
and had a mind to bring her again to the
 way1    #bb3bd4 ,the angel stood in a  

narrow place between two walls1         
wherewith  the vineyards were enclosed4 
#bb3be4 ,and the ass seeing him1 thrust 
herself close to the wall1 and  bruised 
the foot of the rider4 ,but he beat her 
again3    #bb3bf4 ,and nevertheless the 
angel going on to a narrow place1 where 
there was no way to turn aside either to
 the right hand or to the left1  stood  
to meet him4    #bb3bg4 ,and when the   
ass saw the angel standing1 she fell    
under the feet  of the rider3 who being 
angry beat her sides more vehemently    
with a  staff4    #bb3bh4 ,and the ,lord
 opened the mouth of the ass1 and she   
said3 ,what have  ,i done to thee8 ,why 
strikest thou me1 lo1 now this third    
time8    ,opened the mouth1 etc444 ,the 
angel moved the tongue of the ass1 to   
utter  these speeches1 to rebuke1 by the
 mouth of a brute beast1 the brutal     
fury and folly of ,balaam4    #bb3bi4   
,balaam answered3 ,because thou hast    
deserved it1 and hast served  me ill3 ,i
 would ,i had a sword that ,i might kill

 thee4    #bb3cj4 ,the ass said3 ,am not
 ,i thy beast1 on which thou hast been  
always  accustomed to ride until this   
present day8 tell me if ,i ever did the 
like thing to thee4 ,but he said3       
,never4    #bb3ca4 ,forthwith the ,lord 
opened the eyes of ,balaam1 and he saw  
the  angel standing in the way with a   
drawn sword1 and he worshipped him      
falling flat on the ground4    #bb3cb4  
,and the angel said to him3 ,why beatest
 thou thy ass these three  times8 ,i am 
come to withstand thee1 because thy way 
is perverse1 and  contrary to me3       
,perverse444 ,because thy inclinations  
are wicked in being willing for the     
sake of gain to curse the people of whom
 ,i am the guardian4    #bb3cc4 ,and    
unless the ass had turned out of the    
way1 giving place to me  who stood      
against thee1 ,i had slain thee1 and she
 should have lived4    #bb3cd4 ,balaam  
said3 ,i have sinned1 not knowing that  
thou didst stand  against me3 and now if
 it displease thee that ,i go1 ,i will  

return4    #bb3ce4 ,the angel said3 ,go 
with these men1 and see thou speak no   
other  thing than what ,i shall command 
thee4 ,he went therefore with the       
princes4    #bb3cf4 ,and when ,balac    
heard it he came forth to meet him in a 
town of  the ,moabites1 that is situate 
in the uttermost borders of ,arnon4     
#bb3cg4 ,and he said to ,balaam3 ,i sent
 messengers to call thee1 why didst     
thou not come immediately to me8 was it 
because ,i am not able to reward  thy   
coming8    #bb3ch4 ,he answered him3    
,lo1 here ,i am3 shall ,i have power to 
speak any  other thing but that which   
,god shall put in my mouth8    #bb3ci4  
,so they went on together1 and came into
 a city1 that was in the  uttermost     
borders of his kingdom4    #bb3dj4 ,and 
when ,balac had killed oxen and sheep1  
he sent presents to  ,balaam1 and to the
 princes that were with him4    #bb3da4 
,and when morning was come1 he brought  
him to the high places of  ,baal1 and he
 beheld the uttermost part of the       

people4    ,numbers ,chapter #bc        
,balaam1 instead of cursing ,israel1 is 
obliged to bless them1 and  prophesy    
good things of them4    #bc3a4 ,and     
,balaam said to ,balac3 ,build me here  
seven altars1 and prepare  as many      
calves1 and the same number of rams4    
#bc3b4 ,and when he had done according  
to the word of ,balaam1 they laid       
together a calf and a ram upon every    
altar4    #bc3c4 ,and ,balaam said to   
,balac3 ,stand a while by thy burnt     
offering1  until ,i go1 to see if       
perhaps the ,lord will meet me1 and     
whatsoever he  shall command1 ,i will   
speak to thee4    #bc3d4 ,and when he   
was gone with speed1 ,god met him4 ,and 
,balaam speaking  to him1 said3 ,i have 
erected seven altars1 and have laid on  
everyone a  calf and a ram4    #bc3e4   
,and the ,lord put the word in his      
mouth1 and said3 ,return to ,balac1  and
 thus shalt thou speak4    #bc3f4       
,returning he found ,balac standing by  
his burnt offering1 with all  the       

princes of the ,moabites3    #bc3g4 ,and
 taking up his parable1 he said3 ,balac 
king of the ,moabites  hath brought me  
from ,aram1 from the mountains of the   
east3 ,come1 said  he1 and curse ,jacob3
 make haste and detest ,israel4         
#bc3h4 ,how shall ,i curse him1 whom    
,god hath not cursed8 ,by what means    
should ,i detest him1 whom the ,lord    
detesteth not8    #bc3i4 ,i shall see   
him from the tops of the rocks1 and     
shall consider him  from the hills4     
,this people shall dwell alone1 and     
shall not be reckoned  among the        
nations4    #bc3aj4 ,who can count the  
dust of ,jacob1 and know the number of  
the stock  of ,israel8 ,let my soul die 
the death of the just1 and my last end  
be  like to them4    #bc3aa4 ,and ,balac
 said to ,balaam3 ,what is this that    
thou dost8 ,i sent for  thee to curse my
 enemies3 and thou contrariwise blessest
 them4    #bc3ab4 ,he answered him3 ,can
 ,i speak any thing else but what the   
,lord  commandeth8    #bc3ac4 ,balac    

therefore said3 ,come with me to another
 place from whence  thou mayest see part
 of ,israel1 and canst not see them all3
 curse them  from thence4    #bc3ad4    
,and when he had brought him to a high  
place1 upon the top of  mount ,phasga1  
,balaam built seven altars1 and laying  
on every one a calf  and a ram1         
#bc3ae4 ,he said to ,balac3 ,stand here 
by thy burnt offering while ,i go to    
meet him4    #bc3af4 ,and when the ,lord
 had met him1 and had put the word in   
his mouth1  he said3 ,return to ,balac1 
and thus shalt thou say to him4         
#bc3ag4 ,returning he found him standing
 by his burnt sacrifice1 and the        
princes of the ,moabites with him4 ,and 
,balac said to him3 ,what hath the      
,lord spoken8    #bc3ah4 ,but he taking 
up his parable1 said3 ,stand1 ,o ,balac1
 and give ear3  hear1 thou son of       
,sephor3    #bc3ai4 ,god is not a man1  
that he should lie1 nor is the son of   
man1 that  he should be changed4 ,hath  
he said then1 and will he not do8 hath  

he  spoken1 and will he not fulfil8     
#bc3bj4 ,i was brought to bless1 the    
blessing ,i am not able to hinder4      
#bc3ba4 ,there is no idol in ,jacob1    
neither is there an image god to be     
seen in ,israel4 ,the ,lord his ,god is 
with him1 and the sound of the  victory 
of the king in him4    #bc3bb4 ,god hath
 brought him out of ,egypt1 whose       
strength is like to the  rhinoceros4    
#bc3bc4 ,there is no soothsaying in     
,jacob1 nor divination in ,israel4 ,in  
their times it shall be told to ,jacob  
and to ,israel what ,god hath  wrought4 
#bc3bd4 ,behold the people shall rise up
 as a lioness1 and shall lift  itself up
 as a lion3 it shall not lie down till  
it devour the prey1 and  drink the blood
 of the slain4    #bc3be4 ,and ,balac   
said to ,balaam3 ,neither curse1 nor    
bless him4    #bc3bf4 ,and he said3 ,did
 ,i not tell thee1 that whatsoever ,god 
should  command me1 that ,i would do8   
#bc3bg4 ,and ,balac said to him3 ,come  
and ,i will bring thee to another       

place2 if peradventure it please ,god   
that thou mayest curse them from        
thence4    #bc3bh4 ,and when he had     
brought him upon the top of mount       
,phogor1 which  looketh towards the     
wilderness1    #bc3bi4 ,balaam said to  
him3 ,build me here seven altars1 and   
prepare as  many calves1 and the same   
number of rams4    #bc3cj4 ,balac did as
 ,balaam had said3 and he laid on every 
altar1 a calf  and a ram4    ,numbers   
,chapter #bd    ,balaam still continues 
to prophesy good things in favour of    
,israel4    #bd3a4 ,and when ,balaam saw
 that it pleased the ,lord that he      
should bless  ,israel1 he went not as he
 had gone before1 to seek divination3   
but  setting his face towards the       
desert1    #bd3b4 ,and lifting up his   
eyes1 he saw ,israel abiding in their   
tents by  their tribes3 and the spirit  
of ,god rushing upon him1    #bd3c4 ,he 
took up his parable and said3 ,balaam   
the son of ,beor hath said3  ,the man   
hath said1 whose eye is stopped up3     

#bd3d4 ,the bearer of the words of ,god 
hath said1 he that hath beheld the      
vision of the ,almighty1 he that        
falleth1 and so his eyes are opened3    
#bd3e4 ,how beautiful are thy           
tabernacles ,o ,jacob1 and thy tents1 ,o
  ,israel6    #bd3f4 ,as woody valleys1 
as watered gardens near the rivers1 as  
tabernacles which the ,lord hath        
pitched1 as cedars by the waterside4    
#bd3g4 ,water shall flow out of his     
bucket1 and his seed shall be in many   
waters4 ,for ,agag his king shall be    
removed1 and his kingdom shall be  taken
 away4    #bd3h4 ,god hath brought him  
out of ,egypt1 whose strength is like to
 the  rhinoceros4 ,they shall devour the
 nations that are his enemies1 and      
break their bones1 and pierce them with 
arrows4    #bd3i4 ,lying down he hath   
slept as a lion1 and as a lioness1 whom 
none  shall dare to rouse4 ,he that     
blesseth thee1 shall also himself be    
blessed3 he that curseth thee shall be  
reckoned accursed4    #bd3aj4 ,and      

,balac being angry against ,balaam1     
clapped his hands together  and said3 ,i
 called thee to curse my enemies1 and   
thou on the contrary  hast blessed them 
three times4    #bd3aa4 ,return to thy  
place4 ,i had determined indeed greatly 
to honour  thee1 but the ,lord hath     
deprived thee of the honour designed for
 thee4    #bd3ab4 ,balaam made answer to
 ,balac3 ,did ,i not say to thy         
messengers1  whom thou sentest to me3   
#bd3ac4 ,if ,balac would give me his    
house full of silver and gold1 ,i       
cannot go beyond the word of the ,lord  
my ,god1 to utter any thing of my  own  
head either good or evil3 but whatsoever
 the ,lord shall say1 that ,i  will     
speak8    #bd3ad4 ,but yet going to my  
people1 ,i will give thee counsel1 what 
this  people shall do to thy people in  
the latter days4    #bd3ae4 ,therefore  
taking up his parable1 again he said3   
,balaam the son of  ,beor hath said3    
,the man whose eye is stopped up1 hath  
said3    #bd3af4 ,the hearer of the     

words of ,god hath said1 who knoweth the
  doctrine of the ,highest1 and seeth   
the visions of the ,almighty1 who       
falling hath his eyes opened3    #bd3ag4
 ,i shall see him1 but not now3 ,i shall
 behold him1 but not near4 ,a  ,,star   
,,shall ,,rise out of ,jacob and a      
sceptre shall spring up from ,israel3   
and shall strike the chiefs of ,moab1   
and shall waste all the children of     
,seth    #bd3ah4 ,and he shall possess  
,idumea3 the inheritance of ,seir shall 
come  to their enemies1 but ,israel     
shall do manfully4    #bd3ai4 ,out of   
,jacob shall he come that shall rule1   
and shall destroy the  remains of the   
city4    #bd3bj4 ,and when he saw       
,amalec1 he took up his parable1 and    
said3 ,amalec  the beginning of nations1
 whose latter ends shall be destroyed4  
#bd3ba4 ,he saw also the ,cinite3 and   
took up his parable1 and said3 ,thy     
habitation indeed is strong3 but though 
thou build thy nest in a rock1          
#bd3bb4 ,and thou be chosen of the stock

 of ,cin1 how long shalt thou be  able  
to continue8 ,for ,assur shall take thee
 captive4    #bd3bc4 ,and taking up his 
parable1 again he said3 ,alas1 who shall
 live  when ,god shall do these things8 
#bd3bd4 ,they shall come in galleys from
 ,italy1 they shall overcome the        
,assyrians1 and shall waste the         
,hebrews1 and at the last they          
themselves  also shall perish4          
#bd3be4 ,and ,balaam rose1 and returned 
to his place3 ,balac also returned  the 
way that he came4    ,numbers ,chapter  
#be    ,the people fall into fornication
 and idolatry2 for which twenty-four    
thousand are slain4 ,the zeal of        
,phinees4    #be3a4 ,and ,israel at that
 time abode in ,settim1 and the people  
committed  fornication with the         
daughters of ,moab1    #be3b4 ,who      
called them to their sacrifices4 ,and   
they ate of them1 and  adored their     
gods4    #be3c4 ,and ,israel was        
initiated to ,beelphegor3 upon which the
 ,lord being  angry1    ,initiated to   

,beelphegor444 ,that is1 they took to   
the worship of  ,beelphegor1 an obscene 
idol of the ,moabites1 and were         
consecrated1 as it  were1 to him4       
#be3d4 ,said to ,moses3 ,take all the   
princes of the people1 and hang them  up
 on gibbets against the sun3 that my    
fury may be turned away from  ,israel4  
#be3e4 ,and ,moses said to the judges of
 ,israel3 ,let every man kill his       
neighbours1 that have been initiated to 
,beelphegor4    #be3f4 ,and behold one  
of the children of ,israel went in      
before his  brethren to a harlot of     
,madian1 in the sight of ,moses and of  
all the  children of ,israel1 who were  
weeping before the door of the          
tabernacle4    #be3g4 ,and when ,phinees
 the son of ,eleazar the son of ,aaron  
the priest  saw it1 he rose up from the 
midst of the multitude1 and taking a    
dagger1    #be3h4 ,went in after the    
,israelite into the brothel house1 and  
thrust  both of them through together1  
to wit1 the man and the woman in the    

genital parts4 ,and the scourge ceased  
from the children of ,israel4    #be3i4 
,and there were slain four and twenty   
thousand men4    #be3aj4 ,and the ,lord 
said to ,moses3    #be3aa4 ,phinees the 
son of ,eleazar the son of ,aaron the   
priest1 hath  turned away my wrath from 
the children of ,israel3 because he was 
moved  with my zeal against them1 that  
,i myself might not destroy the children
  of ,israel in my zeal4    #be3ab4     
,therefore say to him3 behold ,i give   
him the peace of my covenant1    #be3ac4
 ,and the covenant of the priesthood for
 ever shall be both to him  and his     
seed1 because he hath been zealous for  
his ,god1 and hath made  atonement for  
the wickedness of the children of

him1 was called  ,cozbi the daughter of 

,sur1 a most noble prince among the

spoke to ,moses1 saying3    #be3ag4 ,let
 the ,madianites find you their enemies1
 and slay you them3    #be3ah4 ,because 
they also have acted like enemies       
against you1 and have  guilefully       
deceived you by the idol ,phogor1 and

prince of ,madian1 who was slain in the 
day of the plague  for the sacrilege of

held his peace1 she shall be bound by   
the vow3    #cj3e4 ,whatsoever she      
promised and swore1 she shall fulfil in

immediately as soon as he heard it1     
gainsaid  it1 both her vows and her     
oaths shall be void1 neither shall she  
be  bound to what she promised1 because 
her father hath gainsaid it4    #cj3g4

any thing1 and the word once  going out 
of her mouth shall bind her soul by an  
oath1    #cj3h4 ,the day that her       
husband shall hear it1 and not gainsay  
it1 she  shall be bound to the vow1 and

 she had promised4    #cj3ac4 ,but if

#ca3b4 ,revenge first the children of   
,israel on the ,madianites1 and so  thou
 shalt be gathered to thy people4       
#ca3c4 ,and ,moses forthwith said3 ,arm 
of you men to fight1 who may take  the  
revenge of the ,lord on the ,madianites4
    #ca3d4 ,let a thousand men be chosen
 out of every tribe of ,israel to be    
sent to the war4    #ca3e4 ,and they    
gave a thousand of every tribe1 that is 
to say1 twelve  thousand men well       
appointed for battle4    #ca3f4 ,and    
,moses sent them with ,phinees the son  
of ,eleazar the priest1  and he         
delivered to him the holy vessels1 and  
the trumpets to sound4    #ca3g4 ,and   
when they had fought against the        
,madianites and had overcome  them1 they
 slew all the men4    #ca3h4 ,and their 
kings ,evi1 and ,recem1 and ,sur1 and   
,hur1 and ,rebe1 five  princes of the   
nation3 ,balaam also the son of ,beor   
they killed with the  sword4    #ca3i4  

,and they took their women1 and their   
children captives1 and all  their       
cattle1 and all their goods3 and all    
their possessions they  plundered3      
#ca3aj4 ,and all their cities1 and their
 villages1 and castles1 they  burned4   
#ca3aa4 ,and they carried away the      
booty1 and all that they had taken both 
of men and of beasts4    #ca3ab4 ,and   
they brought them to ,moses1 and        
,eleazar the priest1 and to  all the    
multitude of the children of ,israel4   
,but the rest of the things  for use    
they carried to the camp on the plains  
of ,moab1 beside the  ,jordan over      
against ,jericho4    #ca3ac4 ,and ,moses
 and ,eleazar the priest and all the    
princes of the  synagogue went forth to 
meet them without the camp4    #ca3ad4  
,and ,moses being angry with the chief  
officers of the army1 the  tribunes1 and
 the centurions that were come from the 
battle1    #ca3ae4 ,said3 ,why have you 
saved the women8    #ca3af4 ,are not    
these they1 that deceived the children  

of ,israel by the  counsel of ,balaam1  
and made you transgress against the     
,lord by the sin  of ,phogor1 for which 
also the people was punished8    ,the   
sin of ,phogor444 ,the sin  committed in
 the worship of ,beelphegor4    #ca3ag4

 sex1 even of the  children3 and put to 
death the women1 that have carnally     
known men4    ,of children444 ,women and
 children1 ordinarilly speaking1 were   
not to be  killed in war1 ,deut4 #bj4ad4
 ,but the great ,lord of life and death 
was  pleased to order it otherwise in   
the present case1 in detestation of the 
wickedness of this people1 who by the   
counsel of ,balaam1 had sent their      
women among the ,israelites on purpose  
to draw them from ,god4    #ca3ah4 ,but 
the girls1 and all the women that are   
virgins save for  yourselves3    #ca3ai4
 ,and stay without the camp seven days4 
,he that hath killed a man1  or touched 
one that is killed1 shall be purified   
the third day and the  seventh day4     

#ca3bj4 ,and of all the spoil1 every    
garment1 or vessel1 or any thing made   
for use1 of the skins1 or hair of goats1
 or of wood1 shall be purified4         
#ca3ba4 ,eleazar also the priest spoke  
to the men of the army1 that had        
fought1 in this manner3 ,this is the    
ordinance of the law1 which the ,lord   
hath commanded ,moses3    #ca3bb4 ,gold1
 and silver1 and brass1 and iron1 and   
lead1 and tin1    #ca3bc4 ,and all that 
may pass through the fire1 shall be     
purified by  fire1 but whatsoever cannot
 abide the fire1 shall be sanctified    
with the  water of expiation3    #ca3bd4
 ,and you shall wash your garments the  
seventh day1 and being  purified1 you   
shall afterwards enter into the camp4   
#ca3be4 ,and the ,lord said to ,moses3  
#ca3bf4 ,take the sum of the things that
 were taken both of man and beast1  thou
 and ,eleazar the priest and the princes
 of the multitude3    #ca3bg4 ,and thou 
shalt divide the spoil equally1 between 
them that fought  and went out to the   

war1 and between the rest of the        
multitude4    #ca3bh4 ,and thou shalt   
separate a portion to the ,lord from    
them that  fought and were in the       
battle1 one soul of five hundred as well
 of  persons as of oxen and asses and   
sheep4    #ca3bi4 ,and thou shalt give  
it to ,eleazar the priest1 because they 
are  the firstfruits of the ,lord4      
#ca3cj4 ,out of the moiety also of the  
children of ,israel thou shalt take  the
 fiftieth head of persons1 and of oxen1 
and asses1 and sheep1 and of  all       
beasts1 and thou shalt give them to the 
,levites that watch in the  charge of   
the tabernacle of the ,lord4    #ca3ca4 
,and ,moses and ,eleazar did as the     
,lord had commanded4    #ca3cb4 ,and the
 spoil which the army had taken1 was six
 hundred seventy-  five thousand sheep1

#ca3cd4 ,sixty-one thousand asses3      
#ca3ce4 ,and thirty-two thousand persons
 of the female sex1 that had not  known 
men4    #ca3cf4 ,and one half was given 

to them that had been in the battle1 to 
wit1 three hundred thirty-seven thousand
 five hundred sheep3    #ca3cg4 ,out of 
which1 for the portion of the ,lord1    
were reckoned six  hundred seventy five 
sheep4    #ca3ch4 ,and out of the       
thirty-six thousand oxen1 seventy-two   
oxen3    #ca3ci4 ,out of the thirty     
thousand five hundred asses1 sixty-one  
asses3    #ca3dj4 ,out of the sixteen   
thousand persons1 there fell to the     
portion of  the ,lord1 thirty-two souls4
    #ca3da4 ,and ,moses delivered the   
number of the firstfruits of the ,lord  
to  ,eleazar the priest1 as had been    
commanded him1    #ca3db4 ,out of the   
half of the children of ,israel1 which  
he had separated  for them that had been
 in the battle4    #ca3dc4 ,but out of  
the half that fell to the rest of the   
multitude1 that  is to say1 out of the  
three hundred thirty-seven thousand five
 hundred  sheep1    #ca3dd4 ,and out of 
the thirty-six thousand oxen1    #ca3de4
 ,and out of the thirty thousand five   

hundred asses1    #ca3df4 ,and out of   
the sixteen thousand persons1    #ca3dg4
 ,moses took the fiftieth head1 and gave
 it to the ,levites that  watched in the
 tabernacle of the ,lord1 as the ,lord  
had commanded4    #ca3dh4 ,and when the 
commanders of the army1 and the tribunes
 and  centurions were come to ,moses1   
they said3    #ca3di4 ,we thy servants  
have reckoned up the number of the      
fighting men1  whom we had under our    
hand1 and not so much as one was        
wanting4    #ca3ej4 ,therefore we offer 
as gifts to the ,lord what gold every   
one of us  could find in the booty1 in  
garters and tablets1 rings and          
bracelets1  and chains1 that thou mayst 
pray to the ,lord for us4    #ca3ea4    
,and ,moses and ,eleazar the priest     
received all the gold in divers  kinds1 
#ca3eb4 ,in weight sixteen thousand     
seven hundred and fifty sicles1 from    
the tribunes and from the centurions4   
#ca3ec4 ,for that which every one had   
taken in the booty was his own4         

#ca3ed4 ,and that which was received    
they brought into the tabernacle of  the
 testimony1 for a memorial of the       
children of ,israel before the ,lord4   
,numbers ,chapter #cb    ,the tribes of 
,ruben and ,gad1 and half of the tribe  
of ,manasses1 receive  their inheritance
 on the east side of ,jordan1 upon      
conditions approved  of by ,moses4      
#cb3a4 ,and the sons of ,ruben and ,gad 
had many flocks of cattle1 and their    
substance in beasts was infinite4 ,and  
when they saw the lands of ,jazer  and  
,galaad fit for feeding cattle1         
#cb3b4 ,they came to ,moses and ,eleazar
 the priest1 and the princes of the     
multitude1 and said3    #cb3c4 ,ataroth1
 and ,dibon1 and ,jazer1 and ,nemra1    
,hesebon1 and ,eleale1 and  ,saban1 and 
,nebo1 and ,beon1    #cb3d4 ,the land1  
which the ,lord hath conquered in the   
sight of the  children of ,israel1 is a 
very fertile soil for the feeding of    
beasts3  and we thy servants have very  
much cattle3    #cb3e4 ,and we pray     

thee1 if we have found favour in thy    
sight1 that thou  give it to us thy     
servants in possession1 and make us not 
pass over the  ,jordan4    #cb3f4 ,and  
,moses answered them3 ,what1 shall your 
brethren go to fight1  and will you sit 
here8    #cb3g4 ,why do ye overturn the 
minds of the children of ,israel1 that  
they  may not dare to pass into the     
place which the ,lord hath given them8  
#cb3h4 ,was it not thus your fathers    
did1 when ,i sent from ,cadesbarne to   
view the land8    #cb3i4 ,and when they 
were come as far as the valley of the   
cluster1  having viewed all the country1
 they overturned the hearts of the      
children of ,israel1 that they should   
not enter into the coasts1 which  the   
,lord gave them4    #cb3aj4 ,and he     
swore in his anger1 saying3    #cb3aa4  
,if these men1 that came up out of      
,egypt1 from twenty years old  and      
upward1 shall see the land1 which ,i    
promised with an oath to  ,abraham1     
,isaac1 and ,jacob3 because they would  

not follow me1    #cb3ab4 ,except ,caleb
 the son of ,jephone the ,cenezite1 and 
,josue the son  of ,nun3 these have     
fulfilled my will4    #cb3ac4 ,and the  
,lord being angry against ,israel1 led  
them about through  the desert forty    
years1 until the whole generation1 that 
had done evil  in his sight1 was        
consumed4    #cb3ad4 ,and behold1 said  
he1 you are risen up instead of your    
fathers1  the increase and offspring of 
sinful men1 to augment the fury of the  
,lord against ,israel4    #cb3ae4 ,for  
if you will not follow him1 he will     
leave the people in the  wilderness1 and
 you shall be the cause of the          
destruction of all4    #cb3af4 ,but they
 coming near1 said3 ,we will make       
sheepfolds1 and stalls  for our cattle1 
and strong cities for our children3     
#cb3ag4 ,and we ourselves will go armed 
and ready for battle before the         
children of ,israel1 until we bring them
 in unto their places4  ,our  little    
ones1 and all we have1 shall be in      

walled cities1 for fear of the  ambushes
 of the inhabitants4    #cb3ah4 ,we will
 not return into our houses until the   
children of ,israel  possess their      
inheritance3    #cb3ai4 ,neither will we
 seek any thing beyond the ,jordan1     
because we have  already our possession 
on the east side thereof1    #cb3bj4    
,and ,moses said to them3 ,if you do    
what you promise1 go on well  appointed 
for war before the ,lord3    #cb3ba4    
,and let every fighting man pass over   
the ,jordan1 until the ,lord  overthrow 
his enemies3    #cb3bb4 ,and all the    
land be brought under him1 then shall   
you be  blameless before the ,lord and  
before ,israel1 and you shall obtain the
  countries that you desire1 before the 
,lord4    #cb3bc4 ,but if you do not    
what you say1 no man can doubt but you  
sin  against ,god3 and know ye1 that    
your sin shall overtake you4    #cb3bd4 
,build therefore cities for your        
children1 and folds and stalls  for your
 sheep and beasts1 and accomplish what  

you have promised4    #cb3be4 ,and the  
children of ,gad and ,ruben said to     
,moses3 ,we are thy  servants1 we will  
do what my lord commandeth4    #cb3bf4  
,we will leave our children1 and our    
wives and sheep and cattle1  in the     
cities of ,galaad3    #cb3bg4 ,and we   
thy servants all well appointed will    
march on to the war1  as thou1 my lord1 
speakest4    #cb3bh4 ,moses therefore   
commanded ,eleazar the priest1 and      
,josue the son  of ,nun1 and the princes
 of the families of all the tribes of   
,israel1 and  said to them3    #cb3bi4  
,if the children of ,gad1 and the       
children of ,ruben pass with you  over  
the ,jordan1 all armed for war before   
the ,lord1 and the land be made  subject
 to you3 give them ,galaad in           
possession4    #cb3cj4 ,but if they will
 not pass armed with you into the land  
of  ,chanaan1 let them receive places to
 dwell in among you4    #cb3ca4 ,and the
 children of ,gad1 and the children of  
,ruben answered3 ,as  the ,lord hath    

spoken to his servants1 so will we do3  
#cb3cb4 ,we will go armed before the    
,lord into the land of ,chanaan1 and we 
confess that we have already received   
our possession beyond the ,jordan4      
#cb3cc4 ,moses therefore gave to the    
children of ,gad and of ,ruben1 and to  
the half tribe of ,manasses the son of

the ,amorrhites1 and the kingdom of ,og

being changed7 and ,sabama3  giving     
names to the cities which they had      
built4    #cb3ci4 ,moreover the children
 of ,machir1 the son of ,manasses1 went 

into  ,galaad1 and wasted it1 cutting   
off the ,amorrhites1 the inhabitants    
thereof4    #cb3dj4 ,and ,moses gave the
 land of ,galaad to ,machir the son of  
,manasses1  and he dwelt in it4

,israel1 and thou shalt say to them3    
,when  you shall have passed over the   
,jordan into the land of ,chanaan1

 for the banished1    #ce3bg4 ,and be   
struck by him that is the avenger of    
blood3 he shall not  be guilty that     
killed him4    #ce3bh4 ,for the fugitive

the death  of the high priest3 and after
 he is dead1 then shall the manslayer   
return to his own country4    #ce3bi4

punished by witnesses3 none shall be    
condemned upon the evidence of one man4 

#ce3ca4 ,you shall not take money of him

die forthwith4    #ce3cb4 ,the banished 
and fugitives before the death of the   
high priest  may by no means return into
 their own cities4    #ce3cc4 ,defile   
not the land of your habitation1 which  
is stained with the  blood of the       
innocent3 neither can it otherwise be   
expiated1 but by his  blood that hath   
shed the blood of another4    #ce3cd4   
,and thus shall your possession be      
cleansed1 myself abiding with  you4 ,for
 ,i am the ,lord that dwell among the   
children of ,israel4    ,numbers        
,chapter #cf    ,that the inheritances  
may not be alienated from one tribe to  
another1  all are to marry within their 
own tribes4    #cf3a4 ,and the princes  
of the families of ,galaad1 the son of  
,machir1 the  son of ,manasses1 of the  
stock of the children of ,joseph1 came  
and spoke  to ,moses before the princes 
of ,israel1 and said3    #cf3b4 ,the    
,lord hath commanded thee1 my lord1 that

 thou shouldst divide  the land by lot  
to the children of ,israel1 and that    
thou shouldst give  to the daughters of 
,salphaad our brother the possession due
 to their  father3    #cf3c4 ,now if men
 of another tribe take them to wives1   
their possession  will follow them1 and 
being transferred to another tribe1 will
 be a  diminishing of our inheritance4  
#cf3d4 ,and so it shall cone to pass1   
that when the jubilee1 the is1 the      
fiftieth year of remission1 is come1 the
 distribution made by the lots  shall be
 confounded1 and the possession of the  
one shall pass to the  others4    #cf3e4
 ,moses answered the children of        
,israel1 and said by the command of  the
 ,lord3 ,the tribe of the children of   
,joseph hath spoken rightly4    #cf3f4  
,and this is the law promulgated by the 
,lord touching the daughters  of        
,salphaad3 ,let them marry to whom they 
will1 only so that it be to men  of     
their own tribe4    #cf3g4 ,lest the    
possession of the children of ,israel be

 mingled from  tribe to tribe4 ,for all 
men shall marry wives of their own tribe
 and  kindred3    #cf3h4 ,and all women 
shall take husbands of the same tribe3  
that the  inheritance may remain in the 
families4    #cf3i4 ,and that the tribes
 be not mingled one with another1 but   
remain so    #cf3aj4 ,as they were      
separated by the ,lord4 ,and the        
daughters of ,salphaad  did as was      
commanded3    #cf3aa4 ,and ,maala1 and  
,thersa1 and ,hegla1 and ,melcha1 and   
,noa were  married to the sons of their 
uncle by their father    #cf3ab4 ,of the
 family of ,manasses1 who was the son of
 ,joseph3 and the  possession that had  
been allotted to them1 remained in the  
tribe and  family of their father4      
#cf3ac4 ,these are the commandments and 
judgment1 which the ,lord commanded  by 
the hand of ,moses to the children of   
,israel1 in the plains of ,moab  upon   
the ,jordan over against ,jericho4
