Numbers, starting at chapter 19
{19:1} The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, {19:2} "This is
the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded: Speak to the
children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, in
which is no blemish, and which was never yoked. {19:3} You shall give
her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth outside of the
camp, and one shall kill her before his face: {19:4} and Eleazar the
priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood
toward the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times. {19:5} One shall
burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood,
with her dung, shall he burn: {19:6} and the priest shall take cedar
wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the
burning of the heifer. {19:7} Then the priest shall wash his clothes,
and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come
into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.
{19:8} He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his
flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
{19:9} "A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer,
and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be
kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water for
impurity: it is a sin offering. {19:10} He who gathers the ashes of
the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening:
and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who
lives as a foreigner among them, for a statute forever.
{19:11} "He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean
seven days: {19:12} the same shall purify himself with water on the
third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he doesn't
purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be
clean. {19:13} Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who
has died, and doesn't purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the
LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water
for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his
uncleanness is yet on him.
{19:14} "This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who
comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean
seven days. {19:15} Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on
it, is unclean.
{19:16} "Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a
sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be
unclean seven days.
{19:17} "For the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning
of the sin offering; and running water shall be put thereto in a
vessel: {19:18} and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in
the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on
the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the
slain, or the dead, or the grave: {19:19} and the clean person shall
sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and
on the seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening. {19:20} But
the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul
shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has
defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water for impurity has not been
sprinkled on him; he is unclean. {19:21} It shall be a perpetual
statute to them: and he who sprinkles the water for impurity shall
wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be
unclean until evening.
{19:22} "Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and
the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening."
{20:1} The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came
into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: and the people stayed
in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there. {20:2} There
was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves
together against Moses and against Aaron. {20:3} The people strove
with Moses, and spoke, saying, "We wish that we had died when our
brothers died before the LORD! {20:4} Why have you brought the
assembly of the LORD into this wilderness, that we should die there,
we and our animals? {20:5} Why have you made us to come up out of
Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or
of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water
to drink."
{20:6} Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the
door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces: and the glory of
the LORD appeared to them. {20:7} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
{20:8} "Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron
your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it give
forth its water; and you shall bring forth to them water out of the
rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink."
{20:9} Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
{20:10} Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the
rock, and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels; shall we bring you
water out of this rock for you?" {20:11} Moses lifted up his hand, and
struck the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly,
and the congregation drank, and their livestock.
{20:12} The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you didn't
believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel,
therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have
given them."
{20:13} These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of
Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them. {20:14}
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying:
"Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the travail that has
happened to us: {20:15} how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we
lived in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and
our fathers: {20:16} and when we cried to the LORD, he heard our
voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and
behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border.
{20:17} "Please let us pass through your land: we will not pass
through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water
of the wells: we will go along the king's highway; we will not turn
aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your
border."
{20:18} Edom said to him, "You shall not pass through me, lest I
come out with the sword against you."
{20:19} The children of Israel said to him, "We will go up by the
highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my livestock, then will
I give its price: let me only, without doing anything else, pass
through on my feet."
{20:20} He said, "You shall not pass through." Edom came out against
him with many people, and with a strong hand. {20:21} Thus Edom
refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned
away from him.
{20:22} They traveled from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even
the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor. {20:23} The LORD spoke to
Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom,
saying, {20:24} "Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall
not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel,
because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah. {20:25}
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;
{20:26} and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his
son: and Aaron shall be taken, and shall die there."
{20:27} Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into Mount
Hor in the sight of all the congregation. {20:28} Moses stripped Aaron
of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there
on the top of the mountain: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the
mountain. {20:29} When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead,
they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
{21:1} The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South,
heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought
against Israel, and took some of them captive. {21:2} Israel vowed a
vow to the LORD, and said, "If you will indeed deliver this people
into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities." {21:3} The
LORD listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites;
and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the
place was called Hormah.
{21:4} They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Sea of Suf, to
compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much
discouraged because of the way. {21:5} The people spoke against God,
and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in
the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our
soul loathes this light bread."
{21:6} The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit
the people; and many people of Israel died. {21:7} The people came to
Moses, and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against the
LORD, and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the
serpents from us." Moses prayed for the people.
{21:8} The LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on
a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he
sees it, shall live." {21:9} Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it
on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any
man, when he looked to the serpent of brass, he lived. {21:10} The
children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth. {21:11} They
traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness
which is before Moab, toward the sunrise. {21:12} From there they
traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered. {21:13} From there they
traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the
wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites: for the
Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. {21:14}
Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the LORD, "Vaheb in
Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon, {21:15} the slope of the valleys
that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab."
{21:16} From there they traveled to Beer: that is the well of which
the LORD said to Moses, "Gather the people together, and I will give
them water."
{21:17} Then sang Israel this song:
"Spring up, well; sing to it:
{21:18} the well, which the princes dug,
which the nobles of the people dug,
with the scepter, and with their poles."
From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah; {21:19} and from
Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth; {21:20} and from
Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of
Pisgah, which looks down on the desert. {21:21} Israel sent messengers
to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, {21:22} "Let me pass through
your land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we
will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's
highway, until we have passed your border."
{21:23} Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border: but
Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel
into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel.
{21:24} Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed
his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon;
for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. {21:25} Israel
took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities of the
Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its towns. {21:26} For Heshbon was
the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the
former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to
the Arnon. {21:27} Therefore those who speak in proverbs say,
"Come to Heshbon.
Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
{21:28} for a fire has gone out of Heshbon,
a flame from the city of Sihon.
It has devoured Ar of Moab,
The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
{21:29} Woe to you, Moab!
You are undone, people of Chemosh!
He has given his sons as fugitives,
and his daughters into captivity,
to Sihon king of the Amorites.
{21:30} We have shot at them.
Heshbon has perished even to Dibon.
We have laid waste even to Nophah,
Which reaches to Medeba."
{21:31} Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. {21:32} Moses
sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its towns, and drove out the
Amorites who were there. {21:33} They turned and went up by the way of
Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all
his people, to battle at Edrei.
{21:34} The LORD said to Moses, "Don't fear him: for I have
delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and
you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who
lived at Heshbon."
{21:35} So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until
there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
