NUMBERS CHAPTER 14
- Numbers 14:1 And all the company lifteth up and give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;
- 14:2 and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses, and against Aaron, and all the company say unto them, 'O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died!
- 14:3 and why is YHWH bringing us in unto this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it not good for us to turn back to Egypt?'
- 14:4 And they say one unto another, 'Let us appoint a head, and turn back to Egypt.'
- 14:5 And Moses falleth -- Aaron also -- on their faces, before all the assembly of the company of the sons of Israel.
- 14:6 And Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying the land, have rent their garments,
- 14:7 and they speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, saying, 'The land into which we have passed over to spy it, [is] a very very good land;
- 14:8 if YHWH hath delighted in us, then He hath brought us in unto this land, and hath given it to us, a land which is flowing with milk and honey;
- 14:9 only, against YHWH rebel not ye: and ye, fear not ye the people of the land, for our bread they [are]; their defence hath turned aside from off them, and YHWH [is] with us; fear them not.'
- Numbers 14:10 And all the company say to stone them with stones, and the honour of YHWH hath appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the sons of Israel.
- 14:11 And YHWH saith unto Moses, 'Until when doth this people despise Me? and until when do they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have done in its midst?
- 14:12 I smite it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make thee become a nation greater and mightier than it.'
- 14:13 And Moses saith unto YHWH, 'Then have the Egyptians heard! for Thou hast brought up with Thy power this people out of their midst,
- 14:14 and they have said [it] unto the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that Thou, YHWH, [art] in the midst of this people, that eye to eye Thou art seen -- O YHWH, and Thy cloud is standing over them, -- and in a pillar of cloud Thou art going before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
- 14:15 'And Thou hast put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Thy fame have spoken, saying,
- 14:16 From YHWH's want of ability to bring in this people unto the land which He hath sworn to them -- He doth slaughter them in the wilderness.
- 14:17 'And now, let, I pray Thee, the power of my Lord be great, as Thou hast spoken, saying:
- 14:18 YHWH [is] slow to anger, and of great kindness; bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third [generation], and on a fourth; --
- 14:19 forgive, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Thy kindness, and as Thou hast borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.'
- Numbers 14:20 And YHWH saith, 'I have forgiven, according to thy word;
- 14:21 and yet, I live -- and it is filled -- the whole earth -- [with] the honour of YHWH;
- 14:22 for all the men who are seeing My honour, and My signs, which I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and try Me these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice --
- 14:23 they see not the land which I have sworn to their fathers, yea, none of those despising Me see it;
- 14:24 and My servant Caleb, because there hath been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me -- I have brought him in unto the land whither he hath entered, and his seed doth possess it.
- 14:25 'And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; to-morrow turn ye and journey for yourselves into the wilderness -- the way of the Red Sea.'
- 14:26 And YHWH speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
- 14:27 'Until when hath this evil company that which they are murmuring against Me? the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against Me, I have heard;
- 14:28 say unto them, I live -- an affirmation of YHWH -- if, as ye have spoken in Mine ears -- so I do not to you;
- 14:29 in this wilderness do your carcases fall, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who have murmured against Me;
- Numbers 14:30 ye -- ye come not in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to tabernacle in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.
- 14:31 'As to your infants -- of whom ye have said, A spoil they are become -- I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which ye have kicked against;
- 14:32 as to you -- your carcases do fall in this wilderness,
- 14:33 and your sons are evil in the wilderness forty years, and have borne your whoredoms till your carcases are consumed in the wilderness;
- 14:34 by the number of the days [in] which ye spied the land, forty days, -- a day for a year, a day for a year -- ye do bear your iniquities, forty years, and ye have known my breaking off;
- 14:35 I [am] YHWH, I have spoken; if I do not this to all this evil company who are meeting against me; -- in this wilderness they are consumed, and there they die.'
- 14:36 And the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land, and they turn back and cause all the company to murmur against him, by bringing out an evil account concerning the land,
- 14:37 even the men bringing out an evil account of the land die by the plague before YHWH;
- 14:38 and Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, have lived of those men who go to spy out the land.
- 14:39 And Moses speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,
- Numbers 14:40 and they rise early in the morning, and go up unto the top of the mountain, saying, 'Here we [are], and we have come up unto the place which YHWH hath spoken of, for we have sinned.'
- 14:41 And Moses saith, 'Why [is] this? -- ye are transgressing the command of YHWH, and it doth not prosper;
- 14:42 go not up, for YHWH is not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies;
- 14:43 for the Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and ye have fallen by the sword, because that ye have turned back from after YHWH, and YHWH is not with you.'
- 14:44 And they presume to go up unto the top of the mountain, and the ark of the covenant of YHWH and Moses have not departed out of the midst of the camp.
- 14:45 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and smite them, and beat them down -- unto Hormah.

NUMBERS CHAPTER 15
- Numbers 15:1 And YHWH speaketh unto Moses, saying,
- 15:2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land of your dwellings, which I am giving to you,
- 15:3 then ye have prepared a fire-offering to YHWH, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, at separating a vow or free-will-offering, or in your appointed things, to make a sweet fragrance to YHWH, out of the herd, or out of the flock.
- 15:4 'And he who is bringing near his offering to YHWH hath brought near a present of flour, a tenth deal, mixed with a fourth of the hin of oil;
- 15:5 and wine for a libation, a fourth of the hin thou dost prepare for the burnt-offering or for a sacrifice, for the one lamb;
- 15:6 or for a ram thou dost prepare a present of flour, two-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a third of the hin;
- 15:7 and wine for a libation, a third part of the hin, thou dost bring near -- a sweet fragrance to YHWH.
- 15:8 'And when thou makest a son of the herd a burnt-offering or a sacrifice, at separating a vow or peace-offerings to YHWH,
- 15:9 then he hath brought near for the son of the herd a present of flour, three-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a half of the hin;
- Numbers 15:10 and wine thou bringest near for a libation, a half of the hin -- a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to YHWH;
- 15:11 thus it is done for the one ox, or for the one ram, or for a lamb of the sheep or of the goats.
- 15:12 'According to the number that ye prepare, so ye do to each, according to their number;
- 15:13 every native doth thus with these, at bringing near a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to YHWH;
- 15:14 and when a sojourner sojourneth with you, or whoso [is] in your midst to your generations, and he hath made a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to YHWH, as ye do so he doth.
- 15:15 'One statute is for you of the congregation and for the sojourner who is sojourning, a statute age-during to your generations: as ye [are] so is the sojourner before YHWH;
- 15:16 one law and one ordinance is to you and to the sojourner who is sojourning with you.'
- 15:17 And YHWH speaketh unto Moses, saying,
- 15:18 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, In your coming in unto the land whither I am bringing you in,
- 15:19 then it hath been, in your eating of the bread of the land, ye heave up a heave-offering to YHWH;
- Numbers 15:20 the beginning of your dough a cake ye heave up -- a heave-offering; as the heave-offering of a threshing-floor, so ye do heave it.
- 15:21 Of the beginning of your dough ye do give to YHWH a heave-offering -- to your generations.
- 15:22 'And when ye err, and do not all these commands which YHWH hath spoken unto Moses,
- 15:23 the whole that YHWH hath charged upon you by the hand of Moses, from the day that YHWH hath commanded, and henceforth, to your generations,
- 15:24 then it hath been, if from the eyes of the company it hath been done in ignorance, that all the company have prepared one bullock, a son of the herd, for a burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance to YHWH, and its present, and its libation, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering.
- 15:25 'And the priest hath made atonement for all the company of the sons of Israel, and it hath been forgiven them, for it [is] ignorance, and they -- they have brought in their offering, a fire-offering to YHWH, even their sin-offering before YHWH for their ignorance;
- 15:26 and it hath been forgiven to all the company of the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst; for to all the company [it is done] in ignorance.
- 15:27 'And if one person sin in ignorance, then he hath brought near a she-goat, daughter of a year, for a sin-offering;
- 15:28 and the priest hath made atonement for the person who is erring, in his sinning in ignorance before YHWH, by making atonement for him, and it hath been forgiven him;
- 15:29 for the native among the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst -- one law is to you, for him who is doing [anything] through ignorance.
- Numbers 15:30 'And the person who doth [aught] with a high hand -- of the native or of the sojourner -- YHWH he is reviling, and that person hath been cut off from the midst of his people;
- 15:31 because the word of YHWH he despised, and His command hath broken -- that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity [is] on him.'
- 15:32 And the sons of Israel are in the wilderness, and they find a man gathering wood on the sabbath-day,
- 15:33 and those finding him gathering wood bring him near unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company,
- 15:34 and they place him in ward, for it [is] not explained what is [to be] done to him.
- 15:35 And YHWH saith unto Moses, 'The man is certainly put to death, all the company stoning him with stones, at the outside of the camp.'
- 15:36 And all the company bring him out unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones, and he dieth, as YHWH hath commanded Moses.
- 15:37 And YHWH speaketh unto Moses, saying,
- 15:38 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, and they have made for themselves fringes on the skirts of their garments, to their generations, and they have put on the fringe of the skirt a ribbon of blue,
- 15:39 and it hath been to you for a fringe, and ye have seen it, and have remembered all the commands of YHWH, and have done them, and ye search not after your heart, and after your eyes, after which ye are going a-whoring;
- Numbers 15:40 so that ye remember and have done all My commands, and ye have been holy to your God;
- 15:41 I [am] YHWH your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt to become your God; I, YHWH, [am] your God.'

NUMBERS CHAPTER 16
- Numbers 16:1 And Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, taketh both Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben,
- 16:2 and they rise up before Moses, with men of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty, princes of the company, called of the convention, men of name,
- 16:3 and they are assembled against Moses and against Aaron, and say unto them, 'Enough of you! for all the company -- all of them [are] holy, and in their midst [is] YHWH; and wherefore do ye lift yourselves up above the assembly of YHWH?'
- 16:4 And Moses heareth, and falleth on his face,
- 16:5 and he speaketh unto Korah, and unto all his company, saying, 'Morning! -- and YHWH is knowing those who are his, and him who is holy, and hath brought near unto Him; even him whom He doth fix on He bringeth near unto Him.
- 16:6 This do: take to yourselves censers, Korah, and all his company,
- 16:7 and put in them fire, and put on them perfume, before YHWH to-morrow, and it hath been, the man whom YHWH chooseth, he [is] the holy one; -- enough of you, sons of Levi.'
- 16:8 And Moses saith unto Korah, 'Hear ye, I pray you, sons of Levi;
- 16:9 is it little to you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the company of Israel to bring you near unto Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of YHWH, and to stand before the company to serve them? --
- Numbers 16:10 yea, He doth bring thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee -- and ye have sought also the priesthood!
- 16:11 Therefore, thou and all thy company who are met [are] against YHWH; and Aaron, what [is] he, that ye murmur against him?'
- 16:12 And Moses sendeth to call for Dathan and for Abiram sons of Eliab, and they say, 'We do not come up;
- 16:13 is it little that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to put us to death in a wilderness that thou also certainly makest thyself prince over us?
- 16:14 Yea, unto a land flowing with milk and honey thou hast not brought us in, nor dost thou give to us an inheritance of field and vineyard; the eyes of these men dost thou pick out? we do not come up.'
- 16:15 And it is very displeasing to Moses, and he saith unto YHWH, 'Turn not Thou unto their present; not one ass from them have I taken, nor have I afflicted one of them.'
- 16:16 And Moses saith unto Korah, 'Thou and all thy company, be ye before YHWH, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow;
- 16:17 and take ye each his censer, and ye have put on them perfume, and brought near before YHWH, each his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou and Aaron, each his censer.'
- 16:18 And they take each his censer, and put on them fire, and lay on them perfume, and they stand at the opening of the tent of meeting, with Moses and Aaron.
- 16:19 And Korah assembleth against them all the company unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and the honour of YHWH is seen by all the company.
- Numbers 16:20 And YHWH speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
- 16:21 'Be ye separated from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;'
- 16:22 and they fall on their faces, and say, 'God, God of the spirits of all flesh -- the one man sinneth, and against all the company Thou art wroth!'
- 16:23 And YHWH speaketh unto Moses, saying,
- 16:24 'Speak unto the company, saying, Go ye up from round about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'
- 16:25 And Moses riseth, and goeth unto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel go after him,
- 16:26 and he speaketh unto the company, saying, 'Turn aside, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and come not against anything that they have, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.'
- 16:27 And they go up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, from round about, and Dathan, and Abiram have come out, standing at the opening of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their infants.
- 16:28 And Moses saith, 'By this ye do know that YHWH hath sent me to do all these works, that [they are] not from my own heart;
- 16:29 if according to the death of all men these die -- or the charge of all men is charged upon them -- YHWH hath not sent me;
- Numbers 16:30 and if a strange thing YHWH do, and the ground hath opened her mouth and swallowed them, and all that they have, and they have gone down alive to Sheol -- then ye have known that these men have despised YHWH.'
- 16:31 And it cometh to pass at his finishing speaking all these words, that the ground which [is] under them cleaveth,
- 16:32 and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth them, and their houses, and all the men who [are] for Korah, and all the goods,
- 16:33 and they go down, they, and all that they have, alive to Sheol, and the earth closeth over them, and they perish from the midst of the assembly;
- 16:34 and all Israel who [are] round about them have fled at their voice, for they said, 'Lest the earth swallow us;'
- 16:35 and fire hath come out from YHWH, and consumeth the two hundred and fifty men bringing near the perfume.
- 16:36 And YHWH speaketh unto Moses, saying,
- 16:37 'Say unto Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, and he lifteth up the censers from the midst of the burning, and the fire scatter thou yonder, for they have been hallowed,
- 16:38 [even] the censers of these sinners against their own souls; and they have made them spread-out plates, a covering for the altar, for they have brought them near before YHWH, and they are hallowed; and they are become a sign to the sons of Israel.'
- 16:39 And Eleazar the priest taketh the brazen censers which they who are burnt had brought near, and they spread them out, a covering for the altar --
- Numbers 16:40 a memorial to the sons of Israel, so that a stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron doth not draw near to make a perfume before YHWH, and is not as Korah, and as his company, -- as YHWH hath spoken by the hand of Moses to him.
- 16:41 And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur, on the morrow, against Moses and against Aaron, saying, 'Ye -- ye have put to death the people of YHWH.'
- 16:42 And it cometh to pass, in the company being assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they turn towards the tent of meeting, and lo, the cloud hath covered it, and the honour of YHWH is seen;
- 16:43 and Moses cometh -- Aaron also -- unto the front of the tent of meeting.
- 16:44 And YHWH speaketh unto Moses, saying,
- 16:45 'Get you up from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;' and they fall on their faces,
- 16:46 and Moses saith unto Aaron, 'Take the censer, and put on it fire from off the altar, and place perfume, and go, hasten unto the company, and make atonement for them, for the wrath hath gone out from the presence of YHWH -- the plague hath begun.'
- 16:47 And Aaron taketh as Moses hath spoken, and runneth unto the midst of the assembly, and lo, the plague hath begun among the people; and he giveth the perfume, and maketh atonement for the people,
- 16:48 and standeth between the dead and the living, and the plague is restrained;
- 16:49 and those who die by the plague are fourteen thousand and seven hundred, apart from those who die for the matter of Korah;
- Numbers 16:50 and Aaron turneth back unto Moses, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and the plague hath been restrained.
