* Then did all the assembly lift up , and give forth their voice , and the people wept throughout that night . * And all the sons of Israel , murmured against Moses and against Aaron , and all the assembly said unto them Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt , Or in this wilderness , oh that we had died ! * Wherefore then is Yahweh bringing us into this land , to fall by the sword ? Our wives and little ones , will become a prey ! Would it not be well for us to go back towards Egypt ? * And they said , one to another , Let us appoint a head and let us go back towards Egypt . * Then did Moses and Aaron fall upon their faces , before all the convocation of the assembly of the sons of Israel . * But , Joshua son of Nun , and Caleb son of Jephunneh , of them who spied out the land , rent their clothes ; * and spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel , saying , As for the land through which we passed to spy it out , Good , is the land , exceedingly , * If Yahweh delight in us , then will he bring us into this and , and give it unto us , A land which doth flow with milk and honey . * Only against Yahweh , do not rebel . Do not , ye , fear the people of the land , For our food , they are , Their shade hath departed , from over them . And Yahweh is with us , Do not fear them ! * But when all the assembly bade stone them with stones , the glory of Yahweh , appeared , in the tent of meeting , unto all the sons of Israel . * Then said Yahweh unto How long ! must this people , despise me ? And how long can they not believe in me . in view of all the signs which I have done in their midst ? * Let me smite them with pestilence , and disinherit them , And make thee into a nation greater and more mighty than they ! * Then said Moses unto Yahweh , So shall the Egyptians hear , For thou hast brought up . in thy might , this people out of their midst ; * And will tell it unto the inhabitants of this land : They have heard , That , thou , Yahweh , art in the midst of this people , That eye to eye , is he seenthou , Yahweh , And thy cloud , is standing over them , And in a pillar of cloud , thou thyself , art going on before them by day , And in a pillar of fire , by night . * As soon , therefore , as thou hast put to death this people as one man , so soon will the nations who have heard thy fame speak saying : * Because Yahweh , was not able , to bring in this people into the land which he had sworn unto them , therefore did he slay them in the desert . * Now , therefore , I beseech thee let the might of My Lord , be magnified , according as thou didst speak saying : * Yahwehslow to anger and great in lovingkindness , Forgiving iniquity and transgression : Though he will not leave , wholly unpunished , Visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons , Upon a third generation , and upon a fourth . * Pardon I beseech thee , the iniquity of this people , According to the greatness of thy lovingkindness , And according as thou hast forgiven this people , from Egypt even thus far . * And Yahweh said , I have pardoned according to thy word ; * Nevertheless as I live , and that all the earth may be filled with the glory of Yahweh , * Verily , none of the men who have been beholding my glory and my signs , which I have done in Egypt and in the desert , and have put me to the proof these ten times , and have not hearkened unto my voice , * shall see the land , which I sware to their fathers , yea , none of my despisers , shall see it . * But my servant Calebbecause there was another spirit with him , and he followed me fully , therefore will I bring him into the land whereinto he entered , and his seed , shall possess it . * Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites , are dwelling in the valley , to-morrow , turn ye away ; and set yourselves forward towards the desert by the way of the Red Sea . * Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron , saying : * How long , as regardeth this evil assembly , re they to be murmuring against me ? The murmuring of the sons of Israel which , they , have been murmuring against me , have I heard , * Say unto them : As I live , is the oracle of Yahweh : Surely as ye have spoken in mine ears , so , will I do unto you : * In this desert , shall your dead bodies fall And none of you who were numbered in all your counting , from twenty years old and upwards , who have murmured against me , * none of you , shall enter into the land , as to which I uplifted my hand to give you an abode therein , save Caleb son of Jephunneh , and Joshua , son of Nun : * whereas , your little ones , of whom ye said , they should become , a prey , I will bring them in , and they shall acknowledge the land which ye refused . * But , your own dead bodies , shall fall in this desert ; * and your sons , shall be shepherds in the desert forty years , and shall bear your unchastities , until your dead bodies are consumed in the desert . * By the number of the days wherein ye spied out the landforty days , each day for a year , shall they bear your iniquitiesforty years , so shall ye know my opposition . * IYahweh , have spoken , Verily this , will I do to all this evil assembly , who have conspired against me , In this desert , shall they be consumed And there , shall they die . * Now as for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land , who returned and caused all the assembly to murmur against him by giving out rumour against the land , * they diedthe men who gave out an evil rumor of the land , by the plague , before Yahweh . * But , Joshua son of Nun , and Caleb son of Jephunneh ! remained aliveof those men who went to spy out the land . * And Moses spake these words unto all the sons of Israel , and the people were greatly depressed . * So they arose early in the morning , and went up into the top of the mountain , saying , We are heretherefore will we go up into the place as to which Yahweh hath said that we have sinned . * But Moses said , Wherefore is it that , ye , are going beyond the bidding of Yahweh , since that cannot prosper ? * Do not go up , For Yahweh is not in your midst , Lest ye be smitten down before your enemies . * For , the Amalekites and the Canaanites , are there before you , So shall ye fall by the sword , For inasmuch as ye have turned back from following Yahweh , Therefore will Yahweh not be with you . * But they presumptuously ascended into the top of the mountain , though , neither , the ark of the covenant of Yahweh nor Mosses moved out of the midst of the camp . * So ten the Amalekites and the Canaanites , that dwelt in that mountain , came down , and smote them and routed them even unto Hormah . * Then spake Yahweh unto Moses , saying : * Speak unto the sons of Israel , and thou shall say unto them , When ye shall enter into the land of your dwelling-places , which , I , am giving unto you ; * and ye would offer , as an altar-flame unto Yahweh an ascending-offering or a sacrifice , for celebrating a vow or as a freewill-offering , or in your appointed seasons , by way of offering a satisfying odour unto Yahweh , from the herd or from the flock , * then shall he that bringeth near his oblation bring near unto Yahweh a meal-offering , of fine meal a tenth part overflowed with the fourth part of a hin of oil ; * wine also for a drink-offering , the fourth part of a bin , shalt thou offer with the ascending-offering or with the sacrifice , for each he-lamb . * Or , with a ram , thou shalt offer a meal-offering , of fine meal , two tenths , overflowed with oil , the third of a hin ; * wine also , for a drink-offering , the third of a hin , shalt thou bring near as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh . * And when thou wouldest offer a choice young bullock as an ascending-offering or sacrifice , for celebrating a vow or as a peace-offering unto Yahweh , * then shall he bring near with his choice young bullock , a meal-offering , of fine meal three tenths , overflowed with half a hin of oil ; * wine also , shalt thou bring near for a drink-offering , half a hin , for an altar-flame of satisfying odour unto Yahweh . * Thus and thus , shall it be done , for each ox , and for each ram , and for each young one among the sheep , or among the goats : * according to the number which ye shall offer , thus and thus , shall ye do for each one according to their number . * Every one born in the land , thus and thus , shall offer these things , when bringing near an altar-flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh . * And when there shall sojourn with you a sojourner , or one who is in your midst to your generations , and he would offer an altar-flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh , as ye offer , so , shall he offer , * In the convocation , one statute , shall there be for you and for the sojourner who sojourneth , an age-abiding statute unto your generations , as ye are , so , the sojourner , shall be before Yahweh : * one law and one regulation , shall there be for yourselves and for the sojourner that sojourneth with you . * Then spake Yahweh unto Moses , saying : * Speak unto the sons of Israel , and thou shalt say unto them , When ye enter into the land whereinto I , am bringing you , * then shall it be , when ye eat the bread of the land , that ye shall heave up a heave-offering unto Yahweh . * Of the first of your meal , shall ye heave up , a cake , as a heave-offering , like the heave-offering of grain , so shall ye heave it . * Of the first of your meal , shall ye give unto Yahweh a heave-offering , unto your generations . * And when ye shall make a mistake , and not observe all these commandments , which Yahweh hath spoken unto Moses ; * even all that Yahweh hath given unto you in command , by the hand of Moses , from the day that Yahweh gave command , and onward unto your generations , * then shall it beif , any from the eyes of the assembly , it hath been done by mistake , that all the assembly shall offer one choice young bullock for an ascending-sacrifice as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh , with the meal-offering thereof and the drink-offering thereof , according to the regulation , and one young he-goat as a sin-bearer . * So shall the priest put a propitiatory , covering over all the assembly of the sons of Israel and pardon shall be granted unto them , because a mistake , it was , they , therefore have brought in their offeringan altar-flame unto Yahweh and their sin-bearer before Yahweh for their mistake : * and pardon shall be granted unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel and unto the sojourner that sojourneth in their midst , for , in the case of all the people , it was , by mistake . * And if , any one person , shall sin by mistake , then shall he bring near a she-goat of the first year as a sin-bearer ; * and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over the person who hath made the mistake , when he hath sinned by mistake before Yahweh , even put a propitiatory-covering over him , and pardon shall be granted him . * For the native born among the sons of Israel , and for the sojourner that sojourneth in their midst , one law , shall there be unto youfor acting by mistake . * But , as for the person who acteth with a high handof the native born or of the sojourners , Yahweh himself , he , reproacheth , therefore shall that person * be cut off out of the midst of his people . Because the word of Yahweh , hath he despised , and his commandment , hath he broken , that person shall be surely cut off , his iniquity , is in himself . * While the sons of Israel were in the desert , they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day . * And they who found him gathering sticks , brought him near , unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto all the assembly . * And they put him in ward , because it was not clear what they should do unto him . * Then said Yahweh unto Moses , The man shall be , put to death , all the assembly , stoning him with stones , outside the camp . * So then all the assembly , put him forth , outside the camp , and stoned him with stones , and he died , As Yahweh commanded Moses . * And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying : * Speak unto the sons of Israel , and thou shalt say unto them , That they shall make them fringes on the corners of their garments unto their generationsand shall put upon the fringe of the corner a cord of blue : * so shall they serve you as fringes , and when ye see then , then shall ye call to mind all the commandments of Yahweh , and shall do them , and shall not spy out , after your own hearts , and after your own eyes for things , after which , ye , are ready to go unchastely away : * to the intent ye may call to mind , and do all my commandments , and be holy unto your God . * IYahweh , am your Godwho brought you forth out of the land of Egypt , to become your God , I , Yahweh , am your God . * Then took Korah , son of Izhar son of Kohath son of Levi , and Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab , and On , son of Peleth sons of Reuben ;
