nkjv Numbers:1.
nkjv@Numbers:10:1 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
nkjv@Numbers:10:2 @ "Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps.
nkjv@Numbers:10:3 @ When they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
nkjv@Numbers:10:4 @ But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you.
nkjv@Numbers:10:5 @ When you sound the advance, the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey.
nkjv@Numbers:10:6 @ When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys.
nkjv@Numbers:10:7 @ And when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the advance.
nkjv@Numbers:10:8 @ The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an ordinance forever throughout your generations.
nkjv@Numbers:10:9 @ "When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.
nkjv@Numbers:10:10 @ Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am the LORD your God."
nkjv@Numbers:10:11 @ Now it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony.
nkjv@Numbers:10:12 @ And the children of Israel set out from the Wilderness of Sinai on their journeys; then the cloud settled down in the Wilderness of Paran.
nkjv@Numbers:10:13 @ So they started out for the first time according to the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
nkjv@Numbers:10:14 @ The standard of the camp of the children of Judah set out first according to their armies; over their army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
nkjv@Numbers:10:15 @ Over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.
nkjv@Numbers:10:16 @ And over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
nkjv@Numbers:10:17 @ Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, carrying the tabernacle.
nkjv@Numbers:10:18 @ And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out according to their armies; over their army was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
nkjv@Numbers:10:19 @ Over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
nkjv@Numbers:10:20 @ And over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
nkjv@Numbers:10:21 @ Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things. (The tabernacle would be prepared for their arrival.)
nkjv@Numbers:10:22 @ And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set out according to their armies; over their army was Elishama the son of Ammihud.
nkjv@Numbers:10:23 @ Over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
nkjv@Numbers:10:24 @ And over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
nkjv@Numbers:10:25 @ Then the standard of the camp of the children of Dan (the rear guard of all the camps) set out according to their armies; over their army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
nkjv@Numbers:10:26 @ Over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
nkjv@Numbers:10:27 @ And over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
nkjv@Numbers:10:28 @ Thus was the order of march of the children of Israel, according to their armies, when they began their journey.
nkjv@Numbers:10:29 @ Now Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said, "I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you well; for the LORD has promised good things to Israel."
nkjv@Numbers:10:30 @ And he said to him, "I will not go, but I will depart to my own land and to my relatives."
nkjv@Numbers:10:31 @ So Moses said, "Please do not leave, inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.
nkjv@Numbers:10:32 @ And it shall be, if you go with us--indeed it shall be--that whatever good the LORD will do to us, the same we will do to you."
nkjv@Numbers:10:33 @ So they departed from the mountain of the LORD on a journey of three days; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them for the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
nkjv@Numbers:10:34 @ And the cloud of the LORD was above them by day when they went out from the camp.
nkjv@Numbers:10:35 @ So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said: "Rise up, O LORD! Let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You."
nkjv@Numbers:10:36 @ And when it rested, he said: "Return, O LORD, To the many thousands of Israel."
nkjv@Numbers:11:1 @ Now when the people complained, it displeased the LORD; for the LORD heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the LORD burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp.
nkjv@Numbers:11:2 @ Then the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched.
nkjv@Numbers:11:3 @ So he called the name of the place Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.
nkjv@Numbers:11:4 @ Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: "Who will give us meat to eat?
nkjv@Numbers:11:5 @ We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
nkjv@Numbers:11:6 @ but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!"
nkjv@Numbers:11:7 @ Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium.
nkjv@Numbers:11:8 @ The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil.
nkjv@Numbers:11:9 @ And when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
nkjv@Numbers:11:10 @ Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased.
nkjv@Numbers:11:11 @ So Moses said to the LORD, "Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all these people on me?
nkjv@Numbers:11:12 @ Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, "Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,' to the land which You swore to their fathers?
nkjv@Numbers:11:13 @ Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, "Give us meat, that we may eat.'
nkjv@Numbers:11:14 @ I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.
nkjv@Numbers:11:15 @ If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now--if I have found favor in Your sight--and do not let me see my wretchedness!"
nkjv@Numbers:11:16 @ So the LORD said to Moses: "Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.
nkjv@Numbers:11:17 @ Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.
nkjv@Numbers:11:18 @ Then you shall say to the people, "Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the LORD, saying, "Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat.
nkjv@Numbers:11:19 @ You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,
nkjv@Numbers:11:20 @ but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, "Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?""'
nkjv@Numbers:11:21 @ And Moses said, "The people whom I am among are six hundred thousand men on foot; yet You have said, "I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.'
nkjv@Numbers:11:22 @ Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide enough for them?"
nkjv@Numbers:11:23 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Has the LORD's arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not."
nkjv@Numbers:11:24 @ So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tabernacle.
nkjv@Numbers:11:25 @ Then the LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again.
nkjv@Numbers:11:26 @ But two men had remained in the camp: the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them. Now they were among those listed, but who had not gone out to the tabernacle; yet they prophesied in the camp.
nkjv@Numbers:11:27 @ And a young man ran and told Moses, and said, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp."
nkjv@Numbers:11:28 @ So Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, one of his choice men, answered and said, "Moses my lord, forbid them!"
nkjv@Numbers:11:29 @ Then Moses said to him, "Are you zealous for my sake? Oh, that all the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!"
nkjv@Numbers:11:30 @ And Moses returned to the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
nkjv@Numbers:11:31 @ Now a wind went out from the LORD, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day's journey on this side and about a day's journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground.
nkjv@Numbers:11:32 @ And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers); and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.
nkjv@Numbers:11:33 @ But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was aroused against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague.
nkjv@Numbers:11:34 @ So he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had yielded to craving.
nkjv@Numbers:11:35 @ From Kibroth Hattaavah the people moved to Hazeroth, and camped at Hazeroth.
nkjv@Numbers:12:1 @ Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
nkjv@Numbers:12:2 @ So they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard it.
nkjv@Numbers:12:3 @ (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)
nkjv@Numbers:12:4 @ Suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!" So the three came out.
nkjv@Numbers:12:5 @ Then the LORD came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward.
nkjv@Numbers:12:6 @ Then He said, If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.
nkjv@Numbers:12:7 @ Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house.
nkjv@Numbers:12:8 @ I speak with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant Moses?"
nkjv@Numbers:12:9 @ So the anger of the LORD was aroused against them, and He departed.
nkjv@Numbers:12:10 @ And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper.
nkjv@Numbers:12:11 @ So Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.
nkjv@Numbers:12:12 @ Please do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb!"
nkjv@Numbers:12:13 @ So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "Please heal her, O God, I pray!"
nkjv@Numbers:12:14 @ Then the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again."
nkjv@Numbers:12:15 @ So Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in again.
nkjv@Numbers:12:16 @ And afterward the people moved from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
nkjv@Numbers:13:1 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
nkjv@Numbers:13:2 @ "Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them."
nkjv@Numbers:13:3 @ So Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran according to the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
nkjv@Numbers:13:4 @ Now these were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
nkjv@Numbers:13:5 @ from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
nkjv@Numbers:13:6 @ from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
nkjv@Numbers:13:7 @ from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
nkjv@Numbers:13:8 @ from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;
nkjv@Numbers:13:9 @ from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
nkjv@Numbers:13:10 @ from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
nkjv@Numbers:13:11 @ from the tribe of Joseph, that is, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
nkjv@Numbers:13:12 @ from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
nkjv@Numbers:13:13 @ from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
nkjv@Numbers:13:14 @ from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
nkjv@Numbers:13:15 @ from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
nkjv@Numbers:13:16 @ These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.
nkjv@Numbers:13:17 @ Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way into the South, and go up to the mountains,
nkjv@Numbers:13:18 @ and see what the land is like: whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many;
nkjv@Numbers:13:19 @ whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds;
nkjv@Numbers:13:20 @ whether the land is rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. Be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.
nkjv@Numbers:13:21 @ So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, near the entrance of Hamath.
nkjv@Numbers:13:22 @ And they went up through the South and came to Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
nkjv@Numbers:13:23 @ Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
nkjv@Numbers:13:24 @ The place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there.
nkjv@Numbers:13:25 @ And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.
nkjv@Numbers:13:26 @ Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
nkjv@Numbers:13:27 @ Then they told him, and said: "We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
nkjv@Numbers:13:28 @ Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.
nkjv@Numbers:13:29 @ The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan."
nkjv@Numbers:13:30 @ Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it."
nkjv@Numbers:13:31 @ But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we."
nkjv@Numbers:13:32 @ And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.
nkjv@Numbers:13:33 @ There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."
nkjv@Numbers:14:1 @ So all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night.
nkjv@Numbers:14:2 @ And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, "If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness!
nkjv@Numbers:14:3 @ Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?"
nkjv@Numbers:14:4 @ So they said to one another, "Let us select a leader and return to Egypt."
nkjv@Numbers:14:5 @ Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
nkjv@Numbers:14:6 @ But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes;
nkjv@Numbers:14:7 @ and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: "The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.
nkjv@Numbers:14:8 @ If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, "a land which flows with milk and honey.'
nkjv@Numbers:14:9 @ Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them."
nkjv@Numbers:14:10 @ And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel.
nkjv@Numbers:14:11 @ Then the LORD said to Moses: "How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the signs which I have performed among them?
nkjv@Numbers:14:12 @ I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they."
nkjv@Numbers:14:13 @ And Moses said to the LORD: "Then the Egyptians will hear it, for by Your might You brought these people up from among them,
nkjv@Numbers:14:14 @ and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, LORD, are among these people; that You, LORD, are seen face to face and Your cloud stands above them, and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.
nkjv@Numbers:14:15 @ Now if You kill these people as one man, then the nations which have heard of Your fame will speak, saying,
nkjv@Numbers:14:16 @ "Because the LORD was not able to bring this people to the land which He swore to give them, therefore He killed them in the wilderness.'
nkjv@Numbers:14:17 @ And now, I pray, let the power of my Lord be great, just as You have spoken, saying,
nkjv@Numbers:14:18 @ "The LORD is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.'
nkjv@Numbers:14:19 @ Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, according to the greatness of Your mercy, just as You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."
nkjv@Numbers:14:20 @ Then the LORD said: "I have pardoned, according to your word;
nkjv@Numbers:14:21 @ but truly, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD--
nkjv@Numbers:14:22 @ because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice,
nkjv@Numbers:14:23 @ they certainly shall not see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it.
nkjv@Numbers:14:24 @ But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.
nkjv@Numbers:14:25 @ Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valley; tomorrow turn and move out into the wilderness by the Way of the Red Sea."
nkjv@Numbers:14:26 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
nkjv@Numbers:14:27 @ "How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me? I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me.
nkjv@Numbers:14:28 @ Say to them, "As I live,' says the LORD, "just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you:
nkjv@Numbers:14:29 @ The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.
nkjv@Numbers:14:30 @ Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in.
nkjv@Numbers:14:31 @ But your little ones, whom you said would be victims, I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised.
nkjv@Numbers:14:32 @ But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.
nkjv@Numbers:14:33 @ And your sons shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years, and bear the brunt of your infidelity, until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness.
nkjv@Numbers:14:34 @ According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year, namely forty years, and you shall know My rejection.
nkjv@Numbers:14:35 @ I the LORD have spoken this. I will surely do so to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die."'
nkjv@Numbers:14:36 @ Now the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation complain against him by bringing a bad report of the land,
nkjv@Numbers:14:37 @ those very men who brought the evil report about the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
nkjv@Numbers:14:38 @ But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, of the men who went to spy out the land.
nkjv@Numbers:14:39 @ Then Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.
nkjv@Numbers:14:40 @ And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, "Here we are, and we will go up to the place which the LORD has promised, for we have sinned!"
nkjv@Numbers:14:41 @ And Moses said, "Now why do you transgress the command of the LORD? For this will not succeed.
nkjv@Numbers:14:42 @ Do not go up, lest you be defeated by your enemies, for the LORD is not among you.
nkjv@Numbers:14:43 @ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have turned away from the LORD, the LORD will not be with you."
nkjv@Numbers:14:44 @ But they presumed to go up to the mountaintop. Nevertheless, neither the ark of the covenant of the LORD nor Moses departed from the camp.
nkjv@Numbers:14:45 @ Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt in that mountain came down and attacked them, and drove them back as far as Hormah.
nkjv@Numbers:15:1 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
nkjv@Numbers:15:2 @ "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: "When you have come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving to you,
nkjv@Numbers:15:3 @ and you make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or in your appointed feasts, to make a sweet aroma to the LORD, from the herd or the flock,
nkjv@Numbers:15:4 @ then he who presents his offering to the LORD shall bring a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of oil;
nkjv@Numbers:15:5 @ and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb.
nkjv@Numbers:15:6 @ Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil;
nkjv@Numbers:15:7 @ and as a drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet aroma to the LORD.
nkjv@Numbers:15:8 @ And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a peace offering to the LORD,
nkjv@Numbers:15:9 @ then shall be offered with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;
nkjv@Numbers:15:10 @ and you shall bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD.
nkjv@Numbers:15:11 @ "Thus it shall be done for each young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat.
nkjv@Numbers:15:12 @ According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do with everyone according to their number.
nkjv@Numbers:15:13 @ All who are native-born shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD.
nkjv@Numbers:15:14 @ And if a stranger dwells with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and would present an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD, just as you do, so shall he do.
nkjv@Numbers:15:15 @ One ordinance shall be for you of the assembly and for the stranger who dwells with you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
nkjv@Numbers:15:16 @ One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you."'
nkjv@Numbers:15:17 @ Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
nkjv@Numbers:15:18 @ "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: "When you come into the land to which I bring you,
nkjv@Numbers:15:19 @ then it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the LORD.
nkjv@Numbers:15:20 @ You shall offer up a cake of the first of your ground meal as a heave offering; as a heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it up.
nkjv@Numbers:15:21 @ Of the first of your ground meal you shall give to the LORD a heave offering throughout your generations.
nkjv@Numbers:15:22 @ "If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments which the LORD has spoken to Moses--
nkjv@Numbers:15:23 @ all that the LORD has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the LORD gave commandment and onward throughout your generations--
nkjv@Numbers:15:24 @ then it will be, if it is unintentionally committed, without the knowledge of the congregation, that the whole congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats as a sin offering.
nkjv@Numbers:15:25 @ So the priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it was unintentional; they shall bring their offering, an offering made by fire to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their unintended sin.
nkjv@Numbers:15:26 @ It shall be forgiven the whole congregation of the children of Israel and the stranger who dwells among them, because all the people did it unintentionally.
nkjv@Numbers:15:27 @ "And if a person sins unintentionally, then he shall bring a female goat in its first year as a sin offering.
nkjv@Numbers:15:28 @ So the priest shall make atonement for the person who sins unintentionally, when he sins unintentionally before the LORD, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
nkjv@Numbers:15:29 @ You shall have one law for him who sins unintentionally, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel and for the stranger who dwells among them.
nkjv@Numbers:15:30 @ "But the person who does anything presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one brings reproach on the LORD, and he shall be cut off from among his people.
nkjv@Numbers:15:31 @ Because he has despised the word of the LORD, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt shall be upon him."'
nkjv@Numbers:15:32 @ Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.
nkjv@Numbers:15:33 @ And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
nkjv@Numbers:15:34 @ They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.
nkjv@Numbers:15:35 @ Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."
nkjv@Numbers:15:36 @ So, as the LORD commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.
nkjv@Numbers:15:37 @ Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
nkjv@Numbers:15:38 @ "Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners.
nkjv@Numbers:15:39 @ And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined,
nkjv@Numbers:15:40 @ and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your God.
nkjv@Numbers:15:41 @ I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God."
nkjv@Numbers:16:1 @ Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men;
nkjv@Numbers:16:2 @ and they rose up before Moses with some of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, representatives of the congregation, men of renown.
nkjv@Numbers:16:3 @ They gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "You take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?"
nkjv@Numbers:16:4 @ So when Moses heard it, he fell on his face;
nkjv@Numbers:16:5 @ and he spoke to Korah and all his company, saying, "Tomorrow morning the LORD will show who is His and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to Him. That one whom He chooses He will cause to come near to Him.
nkjv@Numbers:16:6 @ Do this: Take censers, Korah and all your company;
nkjv@Numbers:16:7 @ put fire in them and put incense in them before the LORD tomorrow, and it shall be that the man whom the LORD chooses is the holy one. You take too much upon yourselves, you sons of Levi!"
nkjv@Numbers:16:8 @ Then Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you sons of Levi:
nkjv@Numbers:16:9 @ Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the work of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to serve them;
nkjv@Numbers:16:10 @ and that He has brought you near to Himself, you and all your brethren, the sons of Levi, with you? And are you seeking the priesthood also?
nkjv@Numbers:16:11 @ Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against the LORD. And what is Aaron that you complain against him?"
nkjv@Numbers:16:12 @ And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, but they said, "We will not come up!
nkjv@Numbers:16:13 @ Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you should keep acting like a prince over us?
nkjv@Numbers:16:14 @ Moreover you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!"
nkjv@Numbers:16:15 @ Then Moses was very angry, and said to the LORD, "Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, nor have I hurt one of them."
nkjv@Numbers:16:16 @ And Moses said to Korah, "Tomorrow, you and all your company be present before the LORD--you and they, as well as Aaron.
nkjv@Numbers:16:17 @ Let each take his censer and put incense in it, and each of you bring his censer before the LORD, two hundred and fifty censers; both you and Aaron, each with his censer."
nkjv@Numbers:16:18 @ So every man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
nkjv@Numbers:16:19 @ And Korah gathered all the congregation against them at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation.
nkjv@Numbers:16:20 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
nkjv@Numbers:16:21 @ "Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
nkjv@Numbers:16:22 @ Then they fell on their faces, and said, "O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and You be angry with all the congregation?"
nkjv@Numbers:16:23 @ So the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
nkjv@Numbers:16:24 @ "Speak to the congregation, saying, "Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram."'
nkjv@Numbers:16:25 @ Then Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
nkjv@Numbers:16:26 @ And he spoke to the congregation, saying, "Depart now from the tents of these wicked men! Touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins."
nkjv@Numbers:16:27 @ So they got away from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, their sons, and their little children.
nkjv@Numbers:16:28 @ And Moses said: "By this you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will.
nkjv@Numbers:16:29 @ If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are visited by the common fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.
nkjv@Numbers:16:30 @ But if the LORD creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the LORD."
nkjv@Numbers:16:31 @ Now it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them,
nkjv@Numbers:16:32 @ and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods.
nkjv@Numbers:16:33 @ So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly.
nkjv@Numbers:16:34 @ Then all Israel who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, "Lest the earth swallow us up also!"
nkjv@Numbers:16:35 @ And a fire came out from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering incense.
nkjv@Numbers:16:36 @ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
nkjv@Numbers:16:37 @ "Tell Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to pick up the censers out of the blaze, for they are holy, and scatter the fire some distance away.
nkjv@Numbers:16:38 @ The censers of these men who sinned against their own souls, let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar. Because they presented them before the LORD, therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel."
nkjv@Numbers:16:39 @ So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burned up had presented, and they were hammered out as a covering on the altar,
nkjv@Numbers:16:40 @ to be a memorial to the children of Israel that no outsider, who is not a descendant of Aaron, should come near to offer incense before the LORD, that he might not become like Korah and his companions, just as the LORD had said to him through Moses.
nkjv@Numbers:16:41 @ On the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, saying, "You have killed the people of the LORD."
nkjv@Numbers:16:42 @ Now it happened, when the congregation had gathered against Moses and Aaron, that they turned toward the tabernacle of meeting; and suddenly the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
nkjv@Numbers:16:43 @ Then Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of meeting.
nkjv@Numbers:16:44 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
nkjv@Numbers:16:45 @ "Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment." And they fell on their faces.
nkjv@Numbers:16:46 @ So Moses said to Aaron, "Take a censer and put fire in it from the altar, put incense on it, and take it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the LORD. The plague has begun."
nkjv@Numbers:16:47 @ Then Aaron took it as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and already the plague had begun among the people. So he put in the incense and made atonement for the people. ![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
