Bamidbar, starting at chapter 25
{25:1} Yisra'el abode in Shittim; and the people began to play the
prostitute with the daughters of Mo'av: {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} Yisra'el joined himself to Ba`al-Pe`or: and
the anger of the LORD was kindled against Yisra'el. {25:4} The LORD
said to Moshe, 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 Yisra'el. {25:5} Moshe said to the judges of Yisra'el, Kill
you everyone his men who have joined themselves to Ba`al-Pe`or.
{25:6} Behold, one of the children of Yisra'el came and brought to
his brothers a Midyanite woman in the sight of Moshe, and in the sight
of all the congregation of the children of Yisra'el, while they were
weeping at the door of the tent of meeting. {25:7} When Pinechas, the
son of El`azar, the son of Aharon the [1>]Kohen[<1], 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 Yisra'el into the pavilion, and
thrust both of them through, the man of Yisra'el, and the woman
through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of
Yisra'el. {25:9} Those who died by the plague were twenty-four
thousand. {25:10} The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, {25:11} Pinechas,
the son of El`azar, the son of Aharon the [2>]Kohen[<2], has turned my
wrath away from the children of Yisra'el, in that he was jealous with
my jealousy among them, so that I didn't consume the children of
Yisra'el in my jealousy. {25:12} Therefore say, Behold, I give to him
my covenant of shalom: {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 Yisra'el.
{25:14} Now the name of the man of Yisra'el that was slain, who was
slain with the Midyanite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince
of a fathers' house among the Shim`oni. {25:15} The name of the
Midyanite woman who was slain was Kozbi, the daughter of Tzur; he was
head of the people of a fathers' house in Midyan. {25:16} The LORD
spoke to Moshe, saying, {25:17} Vex the Midyanim, and strike them;
{25:18} for they vex you with their wiles, with which they have
deceived you in the matter of Pe`or, and in the matter of Kozbi, the
daughter of the prince of Midyan, their sister, who was slain on the
day of the plague in the matter of Pe`or.
{26:1} It happened after the plague, that the LORD spoke to Moshe
and to El`azar the son of Aharon the [1>]Kohen[<1], saying, {26:2}
Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Yisra'el, from
twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' houses, all who are
able to go forth to war in Yisra'el. {26:3} Moshe and El`azar the
[2>]Kohen[<2] spoke with them in the plains of Mo'av by the Yarden at
Yericho, saying, {26:4} [Take the sum of the people], from twenty
years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moshe and the children of
Yisra'el, that came forth out of the land of Mitzrayim. {26:5}
Re'uven, the firstborn of Yisra'el; the sons of Re'uven: [of] Hanokh,
the family of the Hanokhi; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites;
{26:6} of Hetzron, the family of the Hetzroni; of Karmi, the family of
the Karmi. {26:7} These are the families of the Re'uveni; and those
who were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred
thirty. {26:8} The sons of Pallu: Eli'av. {26:9} The sons of Eli'av:
Nemu'el, and Datan, and Aviram. These are that Datan and Aviram, who
were called of the congregation, who strove against Moshe and against
Aharon in the company of Korach, when they strove against the LORD,
{26:10} and the [3>]eretz[<3] opened its mouth, and swallowed them up
together with Korach, when that company died; what time the fire
devoured two hundred fifty men, and they became a sign. {26:11}

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 Gershoni; of Kehat, the family of the

families of Levi: the family of the Livni, the family of the Hevroni,
the family of the Machli, the family of the Mushi, the family of the
Korchi. Kehat became the father of `Amram. {26:59} The name of
`Amram's wife was Yokheved, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi
in Mitzrayim: and she bore to `Amram Aharon and Moshe, and Miryam
their sister. {26:60} To Aharon were born Nadav and Avihu, El`azar and
Itamar. {26:61} Nadav and Avihu 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 Yisra'el, because there
was no inheritance given them among the children of Yisra'el. {26:63}
These are those who were numbered by Moshe and El`azar the
[4>]Kohen[<4], who numbered the children of Yisra'el in the plains of
Mo'av by the Yarden at Yericho. {26:64} But among these there was not
a man of them who were numbered by Moshe and Aharon the [5>]Kohen[<5],
who numbered the children of Yisra'el 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 Kalev the son of
Yefunneh, and Yehoshua the son of Nun.
{27:1} Then drew near the daughters of Tzelohchad, the son of Hefer,
the son of Gil`ad, the son of Makhir, the son of Menashsheh, of the
families of Menashsheh the son of Yosef; and these are the names of
his daughters: Machlah, Noach, and Hoglah, and Milkah, and Tirtzah.
{27:2} They stood before Moshe, and before El`azar the [1>]Kohen[<1],
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 Korach: 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} Moshe brought
their cause before the LORD. {27:6} The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
{27:7} The daughters of Tzelohchad 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 Yisra'el, 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 Yisra'el a statute [and] ordinance, as
the LORD commanded Moshe. {27:12} The LORD said to Moshe, Go up into
this mountain of `Avarimen, and see the land which I have given to the
children of Yisra'el. {27:13} When you have seen it, you also shall be
gathered to your people, as Aharon your brother was gathered; {27:14}
because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Tzin, in the
strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their
eyes. (These are the waters of Merivah of Kadesh in the wilderness of
Tzin.) {27:15} Moshe 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 Moshe, Take Yehoshua the son of
Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him; {27:19}
and set him before El`azar the [2>]Kohen[<2], 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
Yisra'el may obey. {27:21} He shall stand before El`azar the
[3>]Kohen[<3], 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 Yisra'el with him,
even all the congregation. {27:22} Moshe did as the LORD commanded
him; and he took Yehoshua, and set him before El`azar the
[4>]Kohen[<4], and before all the congregation: {27:23} and he laid
his hands on him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD spoke by Moshe.
