Numbers, starting at chapter 25
{25:1} Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to play the
prostitute with the daughters of Moab: {25:2} for they called the
people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed
down to their gods. {25:3} Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the
anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. {25:4} The LORD said to
Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to the LORD
before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from
Israel. {25:5} Moses said to the judges of Israel, Kill you everyone
his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.
{25:6} Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his
brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of
all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were
weeping at the door of the tent of meeting. {25:7} When Phinehas, the
son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from
the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand; {25:8}
and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both
of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So
the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. {25:9} Those who
died by the plague were twenty-four thousand. {25:10} The LORD spoke
to Moses, saying, {25:11} Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of
Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of
Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I
didn't consume the children of Israel in my jealousy. {25:12}
Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace: {25:13} and
it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an
everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made
atonement for the children of Israel. {25:14} Now the name of the man
of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was
Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the
Simeonites. {25:15} The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was
Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers'
house in Midian. {25:16} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {25:17} Vex
the Midianites, and strike them; {25:18} for they vex you with their
wiles, with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in
the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their
sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.
{26:1} It happened after the plague, that the LORD spoke to Moses
and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, {26:2} Take the
sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty
years old and upward, by their fathers' houses, all who are able to go
forth to war in Israel. {26:3} Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with
them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, {26:4}
[Take the sum of the people], from twenty years old and upward; as the
LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, that came forth out
of the land of Egypt. {26:5} Reuben, the firstborn of Israel; the sons
of Reuben: [of] Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the
family of the Palluites; {26:6} of Hezron, the family of the
Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. {26:7} These are the
families of the Reubenites; and those who were numbered of them were
forty-three thousand seven hundred thirty. {26:8} The sons of Pallu:
Eliab. {26:9} The sons of Eliab: Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. These
are that Dathan and Abiram, who were called of the congregation, who
strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when
they strove against the LORD, {26:10} and the earth opened its mouth,
and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died;
what time the fire devoured two hundred fifty men, and they became a
sign. {26:11} Notwithstanding, the sons of Korah didn't die. {26:12}

and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. {26:34} These are the families

{26:52} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {26:53} To these the land
shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.
{26:54} To the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the
fewer you shall give the less inheritance: to everyone according to
those who were numbered of him shall his inheritance be given. {26:55}
Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot: according to the
names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. {26:56}
According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the
more and the fewer. {26:57} These are those who were numbered of the
Levites after their families: of Gershon, the family of the
Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the
family of the Merarites. {26:58} These are the families of Levi: the
family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of
the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites.
Kohath became the father of Amram. {26:59} The name of Amram's wife
was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt: and
she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. {26:60} To
Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. {26:61} Nadab
and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the LORD.
{26:62} Those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand,
every male from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered
among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given
them among the children of Israel. {26:63} These are those who were
numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of
Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. {26:64} But
among these there was not a man of them who were numbered by Moses and
Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the
wilderness of Sinai. {26:65} For the LORD had said of them, They shall
surely die in the wilderness. There was not left a man of them, save
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
{27:1} Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of
Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of
the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these are the names of
his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
{27:2} They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and
before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent
of meeting, saying, {27:3} Our father died in the wilderness, and he
was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together
against the LORD in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin;
and he had no sons. {27:4} Why should the name of our father be taken
away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a
possession among the brothers of our father. {27:5} Moses brought
their cause before the LORD. {27:6} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
{27:7} The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give
them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers; and
you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
{27:8} You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man
die, and have no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to
his daughter. {27:9} If he have no daughter, then you shall give his
inheritance to his brothers. {27:10} If he have no brothers, then you
shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers. {27:11} If his
father have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his
kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and
it shall be to the children of Israel a statute [and] ordinance, as
the LORD commanded Moses. {27:12} The LORD said to Moses, Go up into
this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the
children of Israel. {27:13} When you have seen it, you also shall be
gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered; {27:14}
because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the
strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their
eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of
Zin.) {27:15} Moses spoke to the LORD, saying, {27:16} Let the LORD,
the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the
congregation, {27:17} who may go out before them, and who may come in
before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in;
that the congregation of the LORD not be as sheep which have no
shepherd. {27:18} The LORD said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun,
a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him; {27:19} and set
him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and
give him a charge in their sight. {27:20} You shall put of your honor
on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
{27:21} He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire
for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD: at his word shall
they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the
children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. {27:22} Moses
did as the LORD commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before
Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: {27:23} and he
laid his hands on him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD spoke by
Moses.
