3If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them; Hhen I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield her produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and^ the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and ye shall eat your bread until ye have enough, and dwell m your land safely. 6And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land 7And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and will establish My covenant with you. 10And ye shall eat old store long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old from before the new. uAnd I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you. ^And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be My people. MI am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go up- right.

14But if ye will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these com- mandments; "and if ye shall reject My statutes, and if your soul abhor Mine ordinances, so that ye will not do all My commandments, but break My covenant; 16I also will do this unto you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall make the eyes to fail, and the soul to languish; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17And I will set My^face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies; they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 18And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto Me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins. 19And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass. 20And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield her produce, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit. 21And if ye walk contrary unto Me, and will not hearken unto Me; I will bring seven times more Blagues upon you according to your sins. ^And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate. ^And if in spite of these things ye will not be corrected unto Me, but will walk con- trary unto Me; ^hen will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins. ^And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and I win send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. 27And if ye will not for all this LEVITICUS hearken unto Me, but walk contrary unto Me; 2Hhen I will walk contrary unto you in fury; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 30And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun- pillars, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and My soul shall abhor you. 31And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 32And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall be astonished at it. ^And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you; and your land shall be a desola- tion, and your cities shall be a waste. 34Then shall the land be paid her sab- baths, as long as it heth desolate, and ye are in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and repay her sabbaths. 35As long as it hcth desolate it shall have rest; even the rest which it had not in your sab- baths, when ye dwelt upon it. 36And as for them that are left of you, I will send a f aintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. 37And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth; and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies 38And ye shall perish among the na- tions, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your ^enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 40And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of' their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary unto Me. 41I also will walk contrary unto them, and bring them into the land of their enemies; if then perchance their un- circumcised heart be humbled, and they then be paid the punishment of their iniquity; ^then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remem- ber; and I will remember the land. ^For the land shall he forsaken without them, and shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them; and they shall be paid the punishment of their iniquity; because, even be- cause they rejected Mine ordinances, and their soul abhorred My statutes. ^And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them; for I am the I>RD their God. 45But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God* I am the LORD.

46These are the statutes and or- dinances and laws, which the LORD made between Him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

O 7 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, ^ ' saying: 2Speak unto the chil- dren of Israel, and say unto them- When a man shall clearly utter a vow of persons unto the LORD, according to thy valuation, sthen thy valuation shall be for the male LEVITICUS from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 4And if it be a female, then thy valuation shall be thirty shekels. 5And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy valuation shall be for the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 6And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy valuation shall be for the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy valuation shall be three shekels of silver. 7And if it be from sixty years old and upward if it be a male, then thy valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 8But if he be too poor for thy valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the means of him that vowed shall the priest value him.

9And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man -giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy. 10He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. nAnd if it be any unclean beast, of which they may not bring an offering unto the LORD, then he shall set the beast be- fore the priest. ^And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be. 13But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part there- of unto thy valuation.

14And when a map shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand. 16And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be his.

16And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of Ins pos- session, then thy valuation shall be according to the sowing thereof; the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy valuation it shall stand. 18But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee, and an abatement shall be made from thy valuation. 19And if he that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be assured to him. 20And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. ^But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's. ^And if he sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession; 23then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee, and he shall give thy valuation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD. 24In the year of jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth. 25And all thy valuations shall be ac- cording to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

26Howbeit the firstling among beasts, which is born as a nrstling to the LORD, no man shall sanctify it; LEVITICUS whether it be ox or sheep, it is the LORD'S. 27And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it accord- ing to thy valuation, ajid shall add unto it the fifth part thereof; or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy valuation.

^Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man may devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD. 29None devoted, that may be devoted of men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S; it is holy unto the LORD. 31And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof. ^And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. ^He shall not inquire whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he change it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

^These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

48And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: ^'Howbeit the tribe of Levi thou shalt not number, neither shalt thou take the sum of them among the children of Israel; 50but appoint thou the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof, and over all that belongeth to it; they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the furniture thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle. 51And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up; and the common man that draw- eth nigh shall be put to death. 52And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man with his own camp, and every man with his own standard, according to their hosts. ^But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony. ' ^Thus did the chil- dren of Israel; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so olid they.

O And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: 2'The children of Israel shall pitch by their fathers' houses; every man with his own standard, according to the en- signs; a good way off shall they pitch round about the tent of meeting. 3Now those that pitch on the east side toward the sunrising shall be they of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their hosts; the prince of the children of Judah being Nahshon the son of Ammina- dab, *and his host, and those that were numbered of them, threescore and fourteen thousand and six hun- dred; 6and those that pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar; the prince of the children of Issachar being Nethanel the son of Zuar, ^nd his host, even those that were numbered thereof, fifty and four thousand and four hundred; 7and the tribe of Zeb- ulun; the prince of the children of Zeb- ulun being Eliab the son of Helon, 8and his host, and those that were numbered thereof, fifty and seven thousand and four hundred; 9all that were numbered of the camp of Judah being a hundred thousand and four- score thousand and six thousand and four hundred, according to their hosts; they shall set forth first.

100n the south side shall~ be the standard of the camp of Reuben ac- cording to their hosts; the prince of the children of Reuben being Elizur the son of Shedeur, nand his host, and those that were numbered there- of, forty and six thousand and five hundred; ^and those that pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Simeon; the prince of the children of Simeon being Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai, wand his host, and those that were numbered of them, fifty and nine thousand and three hundred; "and the tribe of Gad; the prince of the children of Gad being Eliasaph the son of Reuel, 15and his host, even those that were numbered of them, forty and five thousand and six hun- dred and fifty; 16all that were num- bered of the camp of Reuben being a hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, according to their hosts; and they shall set forth second.

17Then the tent of meeting, with the camp of the Levites, shall set forward in the midst of the camps; NUMBERS as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place, by their standards.

180n the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their hosts; the prince of the children of Ephraim being Elish- ama the son of Arnmihud, 19and his host, and those that were numbered of them, forty thousand and five hun- dred; 20and next unto him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; the prince of the children of Manasseh being Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur, 21and his host, and those that were numbered of them, thirty and two thousand and two hun- dred; ^and the tribe of Benjamin, the prince of the children of Benjamin be- ing Abidan the son of Gideoni, 23and his host, and those that were num- bered of them, thirty and five thou- sand and four hundred; ^all that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim being a hundred thousand and eight thousand and a hundred, according to their hosts; and they shall set forth third.

260n the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan according to their hosts; the prince of the chil- dren of Dan being Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai, 26and his host, and those that were numbered of them, threescore and two thousand and seven hundred; 27and those that pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Asher; the prince of the children of Asher be- ing Pagiel the son of Ochran, 28and his host, and those that were numbered of them, forty and one thousand and five hundred; 29and the tribe of Naphtali; the prince of the children of Naphtali being Ahira the son of Enan, 30and his host, and those that were numbered of them, fifty and three thousand and four hundred; 81all that were numbered of the camp of Dan being a hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred; they shall set forth hindmost by their standards/ 32These are they that were num- bered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses; all that were numbered of the camps according to their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. ^But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Is- rael; as the LORD commanded Moses. ^Thus did the children of Israel: ac- cording to all that the LORD com- manded Moses, so they pitched by their standards, and so they set for- ward, each one according to its fami- lies, and according to its fathers' houses.

O Now these are the generations of u Aaron and Moses in the^day that the LORD spoke with Moses in mount Sinai. 2And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office. 4And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.

6And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 6 'Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him. 7And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle. 8And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of NUMBERS the tabernacle. 9And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons; they are wholly given unto him from the children of Israel. 10And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, that they may keep their priest- hood; and the common man that draweth nigh shall be put to death/ uAnd the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: ^And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every first-born that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be Mine; J3for all the first- born are Mine: on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto Me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast, Mine they shall be: I am the LORD/ 14And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying: 16<Number the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families; every male from a month old and up- ward shalt thou number them.' t ^And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was com- manded. 17And these were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. 18And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libm and Shimei. 19And the sons of Kohath fey their families: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. 20And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.

210f Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites; these are the families of the Gershonites. ^Those that.were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred. ^The families of the Gershonites were to pitch behind the tabernacle westward; ^he prince of the fathers' house of the Gershonites being Elia- saph the son of Lael, ^and the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting the tabernacle, and the Tent, the covenng thereof, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting, 26and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court — which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar, round about — and the cords of it, even whatsoever pertaineth to the service thereof.
