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, "Everyone kill 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} "Harass the
Midianites, and strike them; {25:18} for they harassed 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 a
census 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 a census of the people], from twenty years old and
upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel."

thirty. {26:8} The sons of Pallu: Eliab. {26:9} The sons of Eliab:

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} The sons of Simeon after their

and [of] Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites; and [of] Hepher, the

"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 dies, and has no son, then you shall cause
his inheritance to pass to his daughter. {27:9} If he has no daughter,
then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. {27:10} If he has
no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's
brothers. {27:11} If his father has 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
commission him 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 commissioned him, as the
LORD spoke by Moses.
