O A And Moses told the children of ov/ Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

2And Moses spoke unto the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying: NUMBERS This is the thing which the LOBD hath commanded. 3When a man voweth a vow unto the LORD, or sweareth an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word he shall do according to all that pro- ceedeth out of his mouth. 4AJso when a woman voweth a vow unto the LORD and bindeth herself by a bond, bein^ in her father's house, in her youth 5and her father heareth her vow, or her bond wherewith she hath bounc her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at 'her, then all her vows shal stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 6But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand; and the LORD will forgive her, because her father disallowed her. 7And if she be married to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the clear utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul; 8and her husband hear it, whatsoever day it be that he heareth it, and hold his peace at her; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 9But if her husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it, then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the clear utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul; and the LORD will forgive her. 10But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, even every- thing wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her. uAnd if a woman vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, Mand her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith iBfjuxu. ouchuu, CMJLU. CVCiJ- UUJUU WJLLCl.eWIt.LL she bound her soul shall stand. 13But if her husband make them null and void in the day that he heareth them, then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips, whether it were her vows, or the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD will forgive her. 14Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may let it stand, or her husband may make it void. 15But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he causeth all her vows to stand, or all her bonds, which are upon her; he hath let them stand, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them. 16But if he shall make them null and void after that he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. 17These are the statutes,, which the LORD com- manded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.

Q 1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, •*• saying: 2'Ayenge the children of Israel of the Midianites; afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy peo- ple/ 3And Moses spoke unto the peo- ple, saying: ' Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD'S ' vengeance on Midian. 40f every iribe a thousand, throughout all the ;ribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war/ *So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thou- sand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 6And Moses sent them, i thousand of every tribe, to the war, ;hem and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy vessels and the trumpets for the alarm n his hand. 7And they warred against klidian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.

NUMBERS NUMBERS 8And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword. 9And the children of Israel took captive the w<jmen of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey. 10And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their en- campments, they burnt with fire. uAnd they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast. ^And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.

MAnd Moses, andEleazarthe priest, and all the princes of the congrega- tion, went forth to meet them without the camp. 14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the cap- tains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war. 15And Moses said unto them: 'Have ye saved all the women alive? 16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to revolt so as to break faith with the LOED in the mat- ter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD. 17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and Mil every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 19And encamp ye without the camp seven days; whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives. 20And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood, ye shall purify.'

21And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle: 'This is the statute of the law which the LOED hath commanded Moses: ^Howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, ^every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it "shall be clean; never- theless it shall be purified with the water of sprinkling; and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water. ^And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and after- ward ye may come into the camp.'

^And the LOED spoke unto Moses, saying: 26<Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads tof the fathers' houses of the congregation; 27and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation; 28and levy a tribute unto the LOED of the men of war that went out to bat- tle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flocks; 29take it of their half, and give' it unto Eleazar. the priest, as a portion set apart for the LOED. 30And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LOED.' 3lAnd Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LOED com- NUMBERS manded Moses. ^Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thou- sand sheep, ^and threescore and twelve thousand beeves, Mand three- score and one thousand asses, 36and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him. 36And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep. 37And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. 38And the beeves were thirty and six thou- sand, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve. 39And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one. 40And the persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons. ^And Moses gave the tribute, which was set apart for the LORD, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses. 42And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred — ^ow the congrega- tion's half was three hundred thou- sand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep, 44and thirty and six thousand beeves, ^and thirty thousand and five hundred asses, ^and sixteen thousand persons — 47even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

48And the officers that were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses; 49and they said unto Moses: 'Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us. 50And we have^brought the LORD'S offering, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and brace- lets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and girdles, to make atoneinent for our souls be- fore the LORD.' 51And Moses and Elea- zar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels. B2And all the gold of the gift that they set apart for the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. — ^For the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself. — ^And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for ,the children of Israel before the LORD.

OO Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle, ^he children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying: 3' Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Se- bam, and Nebo, and Beon, *the land which the LORD smote before the con- gregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle/ 6And they said: 'If we have found favour in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, NUMBERS bring us not over the Jordan/ sAnd Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: 'Shall your brethren go to tne war, and shall ye sit here? 7And wherefore will ye turn away the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them? 8Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. 9For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they turned away the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them. 10And the LORD'S anger was kindled in that day, and He swore, saying: "Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore un- to Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed Me; ^save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed the LORD. 13And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was con- sumed. 14And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers7 stead, a brood of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel. 15For if ye turn away from after Hun, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and so ye will destroy all this people/ 16And they came near unto him, and said: 'We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones; 17but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities be- cause of the inhabitants of the land. 18We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have in- herited every man his inheritance 19For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.'

20Ajad Moses said unto them: 'If ye will do this thing: if ye will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war, ^and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORDJ until He hath driven out His enemies from before Hun, Mand the land be subdued before the LORD, and ye return afterward; then ye shall be clear before the LORD, and before Israel, and this land shall be unto you for a possession before the LORD. ^But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD; and know ye your sin which will find you. ^Build you cities for your little ones, and fokls for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.'

25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth. 260ur little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead; 27but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.'

28So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel. 29And Moses said unto them: ' If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every NUMBERS man that is armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subduec before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession 30but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. 31And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying 'As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. 82We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan/ ^And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half-tribe of Manasseh the son oi Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king oJ the Amorites, and the kingdom oi Og king of Bashan, the land, accord- ing to the cities thereof with their borders, even the cities of the land round about. wAnd the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer; ^and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah; 36and Beth- niTprah, and Beth-haran; fortified cities, and folds for sheep. 37And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim; 38and Nebo, and Baal-meon — their names being changed— and Sibmah'; and gave their names unto the cities which they builded. S9And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein. 40And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. ^And Jair the son of Manas- seh went and took the villages there- of, and called them aHawoth-jair. 42And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

• That is, The milages of Jair.

OO These are the stages of the ^^ children of Israel, by which they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2And Moses wrote their goings forth, stage by stage, by the commandment of the LORD; and these are their stages at their goings forth. 3And they jour- neyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passoyer the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians, Vhile the Egyptians were burying them that the LORD had smitten among them, even all their first-born; upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments. 6And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth. 6And they journeyed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. 7And they journeyed from Etham, and turned back unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon; and they pitched before Migdol. 8And they journeyed from Pene-hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness; and they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah. 9And they journeyed from Marah, and came unto Elim; and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and ;hreescore and ten palm-trees; and ihey pitched there. 10And they ourneyed from Elim, and pitched by ihe Red Sea. uAnd they journeyed from the Red Sea, and pitched in the wilderness of Sin. ^And they jour- neyed from the wilderness of Sin, and pitched in Dophkah. wAnd they ourneyed from Dophkah, and pitched n Alush. 14And they journeyed from NUMBERS Alush, and pitched in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink. 15And they journeyed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wil- derness of Sinai, 16And they jour- neyed from the wilderness of Sinai, and pitched in Klbroth-hattaavah. 17And they journeyed from Kibroth- hattaavah, and pitched in Hazeroth. 18And they journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. 19And they journeyed from Rithmah, and pitched hi Rimmon-perez. 20And they jour- neyed from Rimmon-perez, and pitched in Libnah. 21And they jour- neyed from Libnah, and pitched in Rissah. ^And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelah.
