[EMAIL PROTECTED] Numbers, starting at chapter 25
{25:1} Israel stayed 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, from twenty years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel." These are those that came out of the land of Egypt. {26:5} Reuben, the firstborn of Israel; the sons of Reuben: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites; {26:6} of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. {26:7} These are the families of the Reubenites; and those who were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred thirty. {26:8} The sons of Pallu: Eliab. {26:9} The sons of Eliab: Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. These are that Dathan and Abiram, who 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 families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites; of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites; {26:13} of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites; of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites. {26:14} These are the families of the Simeonites, twenty-two thousand two hundred. {26:15} The sons of Gad after their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites; of Haggi, the family of the Haggites; of Shuni, the family of the Shunites; {26:16} of Ozni, the family of the Oznites; of Eri, the family of the Erites; {26:17} of Arod, the family of the Arodites; of Areli, the family of the Arelites. {26:18} These are the families of the sons of Gad according to those who were numbered of them, forty thousand and five hundred. {26:19} The sons of Judah: Er and Onan; and Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. {26:20} The sons of Judah after their families were: of Shelah, the family of the Shelanites; of Perez, the family of the Perezites; of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites. {26:21} The sons of Perez were: of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites. {26:22} These are the families of Judah according to those who were numbered of them, seventy-six thousand five hundred. {26:23} The sons of Issachar after their families: of Tola, the family of the Tolaites; of Puvah, the family of the Punites; {26:24} of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites; of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites. {26:25} These are the families of Issachar according to those who were numbered of them, sixty-four thousand three hundred. {26:26} The sons of Zebulun after their families: of Sered, the family of the Seredites; of Elon, the family of the Elonites; of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites. {26:27} These are the families of the Zebulunites according to those who were numbered of them, sixty thousand five hundred. {26:28} The sons of Joseph after their families: Manasseh and Ephraim. {26:29} The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites; and Machir became the father of Gilead; of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites. {26:30} These are the sons of Gilead: of Iezer, the family of the Iezerites; of Helek, the family of the Helekites; {26:31} and Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; and Shechem, the family of the Shechemites; {26:32} and Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites; and Hepher, the family of the Hepherites. {26:33} Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters: and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. {26:34} These are the families of Manasseh; and those who were numbered of them were fifty-two thousand seven hundred. {26:35} These are the sons of Ephraim after their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthelahites; of Becher, the family of the Becherites; of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites. {26:36} These are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites. {26:37} These are the families of the sons of Ephraim according to those who were numbered of them, thirty-two thousand five hundred.

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, except 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. ________________________________________________________________________ The World English Bible: Messianic Edition is in the Public Domain.
