The Old Testament of the
King James Version of the Bible
30:1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the
tribes concerning the
children of Israel, saying, This is the
thing which the LORD hath
commanded.
30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or
swear an oath to bind his
soul with a bond; he shall not break his
word, he shall do according
to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
30:3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the
LORD, and bind herself by a
bond, being in her father's house in her
youth; 30:4 And her father
hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she
hath bound her soul, and her
father shall hold his peace at her; then all
her vows shall stand, and
every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul
shall stand.
30:5 But if her father disallow her in the
day that he heareth; not
any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith
she hath bound her soul,
shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her,
because her father
disallowed her.
30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when
she vowed, or uttered
ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound
her soul; 30:7 And her
husband heard it, and held his peace at her
in the day that he heard
it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds
wherewith she bound her
soul shall stand.
30:8 But if her husband disallowed her on
the day that he heard it;
then he shall make her vow which she vowed,
and that which she uttered
with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul,
of none effect: and the
LORD shall forgive her.
30:9 But every vow of a widow, and of her
that is divorced, wherewith
they have bound their souls, shall stand
against her.
30:10 And if she vowed in her husband's
house, or bound her soul by a
bond with an oath; 30:11 And her husband
heard it, and held his peace
at her, and disallowed her not: then all her
vows shall stand, and
every bond wherewith she bound her soul
shall stand.
30:12 But if her husband hath utterly made
them void on the day he
heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of
her lips concerning her
vows, or concerning the bond of her soul,
shall not stand: her husband
hath made them void; and the LORD shall
forgive her.
30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to
afflict the soul, her
husband may establish it, or her husband may
make it void.
30:14 But if her husband altogether hold his
peace at her from day to
day; then he establisheth all her vows, or
all her bonds, which are
upon her: he confirmeth them, because he
held his peace at her in the
day that he heard them.
30:15 But if he shall any ways make them
void after that he hath heard
them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
30:16 These are the statutes, which the LORD
commanded Moses, between
a man and his wife, between the father and
his daughter, being yet in
her youth in her father's house.
31:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:2 Avenge the children
of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt
thou be gathered unto thy
people.
31:3 And Moses spake unto the people,
saying, Arm some of yourselves
unto the war, and let them go against the
Midianites, and avenge the
LORD of Midian.
31:4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout
all the tribes of Israel,
shall ye send to the war.
31:5 So there were delivered out of the
thousands of Israel, a
thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand
armed for war.
31:6 And Moses sent them to the war, a
thousand of every tribe, them
and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
to the war, with the holy
instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his
hand.
31:7 And they warred against the Midianites,
as the LORD commanded
Moses; and they slew all the males.
31:8 And they slew the kings of Midian,
beside the rest of them that
were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur,
and Hur, and Reba, five
kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor
they slew with the sword.
31:9 And the children of Israel took all the
women of Midian captives,
and their little ones, and took the spoil of
all their cattle, and all
their flocks, and all their goods.
31:10 And they burnt all their cities
wherein they dwelt, and all
their goodly castles, with fire.
31:11 And they took all the spoil, and all
the prey, both of men and
of beasts.
31:12 And they brought the captives, and the
prey, and the spoil, unto
Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the
congregation of the
children of Israel, unto the camp at the
plains of Moab, which are by
Jordan near Jericho.
31:13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and
all the princes of the
congregation, went forth to meet them
without the camp.
31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers
of the host, with the
captains over thousands, and captains over
hundreds, which came from
the battle.
31:15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye
saved all the women alive?
31:16 Behold, these caused the children of
Israel, through the counsel
of Balaam, to commit trespass against the
LORD in the matter of Peor,
and there was a plague among the
congregation of the LORD.
31:17 Now therefore kill every male among
the little ones, and kill
every woman that hath known man by lying
with him.
31:18 But all the women children, that have
not known a man by lying
with him, keep alive for yourselves.
31:19 And do ye abide without the camp seven
days: whosoever hath
killed any person, and whosoever hath
touched any slain, purify both
yourselves and your captives on the third
day, and on the seventh day.
31:20 And purify all your raiment, and all
that is made of skins, and
all work of goats' hair, and all things made
of wood.
31:21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the
men of war which went to
the battle, This is the ordinance of the law
which the LORD commanded
Moses; 31:22 Only the gold, and the silver,
the brass, the iron, the
tin, and the lead, 31:23 Every thing that
may abide the fire, ye shall
make it go through the fire, and it shall be
clean: nevertheless it
shall be purified with the water of
separation: and all that abideth
not the fire ye shall make go through the
water.
31:24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the
seventh day, and ye shall
be clean, and afterward ye shall come into
the camp.
31:25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:26 Take the sum of the
prey that was taken, both of man and of
beast, thou, and Eleazar the
priest, and the chief fathers of the
congregation: 31:27 And divide
the prey into two parts; between them that
took the war upon them, who
went out to battle, and between all the
congregation: 31:28 And levy a
tribute unto the Lord of the men of war
which went out to battle: one
soul of five hundred, both of the persons,
and of the beeves, and of
the asses, and of the sheep: 31:29 Take it
of their half, and give it
unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave
offering of the LORD.
31:30 And of the children of Israel's half,
thou shalt take one
portion of fifty, of the persons, of the
beeves, of the asses, and of
the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and
give them unto the Levites,
which keep the charge of the tabernacle of
the LORD.
31:31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did
as the LORD commanded
Moses.
31:32 And the booty, being the rest of the
prey which the men of war
had caught, was six hundred thousand and
seventy thousand and five
thousand sheep, 31:33 And threescore and
twelve thousand beeves, 31:34
And threescore and one thousand asses, 31:35
And thirty and two
thousand persons in all, of women that had
not known man by lying with
him.
31:36 And the half, which was the portion of
them that went out to
war, was in number three hundred thousand
and seven and thirty
thousand and five hundred sheep: 31:37 And
the LORD's tribute of the
sheep was six hundred and threescore and
fifteen.
31:38 And the beeves were thirty and six
thousand; of which the LORD's
tribute was threescore and twelve.
31:39 And the asses were thirty thousand and
five hundred; of which
the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
31:40 And the persons were sixteen thousand;
of which the LORD's
tribute was thirty and two persons.
31:41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was
the LORD's heave offering,
unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD
commanded Moses.
31:42 And of the children of Israel's half,
which Moses divided from
the men that warred, 31:43 (Now the half
that pertained unto the
congregation was three hundred thousand and
thirty thousand and seven
thousand and five hundred sheep, 31:44 And
thirty and six thousand
beeves, 31:45 And thirty thousand asses and
five hundred, 31:46 And
sixteen thousand persons;) 31:47 Even of the
children of Israel's
half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both
of man and of beast, and
gave them unto the Levites, which kept the
charge of the tabernacle of
the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
31:48 And the officers which were over
thousands of the host, the
captains of thousands, and captains of
hundreds, came near unto Moses:
31:49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants
have taken the sum of the
men of war which are under our charge, and
there lacketh not one man
of us.
31:50 We have therefore brought an oblation
for the LORD, what every
man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains,
and bracelets, rings,
earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement
for our souls before the
LORD.
31:51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took
the gold of them, even all
wrought jewels.
31:52 And all the gold of the offering that
they offered up to the
LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of
the captains of hundreds,
was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty
shekels.
31:53 (For the men of war had taken spoil,
every man for himself.)
31:54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took
the gold of the captains
of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it
into the tabernacle of
the congregation, for a memorial for the
children of Israel before the
LORD.
32:1 Now the children of Reuben and the
children of Gad had a very
great multitude of cattle: and when they saw
the land of Jazer, and
the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place
was a place for cattle;
32:2 The children of Gad and the children of
Reuben came and spake
unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and
unto the princes of the
congregation, saying, 32:3 Ataroth, and
Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah,
and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and
Nebo, and Beon, 32:4 Even
the country which the LORD smote before the
congregation of Israel, is
a land for cattle, and thy servants have
cattle: 32:5 Wherefore, said
they, if we have found grace in thy sight,
let this land be given unto
thy servants for a possession, and bring us
not over Jordan.
32:6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad
and to the children of
Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and
shall ye sit here? 32:7
And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the
children of Israel from
going over into the land which the LORD hath
given them? 32:8 Thus
did your fathers, when I sent them from
Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
32:9 For when they went up unto the valley
of Eshcol, and saw the
land, they discouraged the heart of the
children of Israel, that they
should not go into the land which the LORD
had given them.
32:10 And the LORD's anger was kindled the
same time, and he sware,
saying, 32:11 Surely none of the men that
came up out of Egypt, from
twenty years old and upward, shall see the
land which I sware unto
Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because
they have not wholly
followed me: 32:12 Save Caleb the son of
Jephunneh the Kenezite, and
Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly
followed the LORD.
32:13 And the LORD's anger was kindled
against Israel, and he made
them wander in the wilderness forty years,
until all the generation,
that had done evil in the sight of the LORD,
was consumed.
32:14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your
fathers' stead, an increase
of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce
anger of the LORD toward
Israel.
32:15 For if ye turn away from after him, he
will yet again leave them
in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all
this people.
32:16 And they came near unto him, and said,
We will build sheepfolds
here for our cattle, and cities for our
little ones: 32:17 But we
ourselves will go ready armed before the
children of Israel, until we
have brought them unto their place: and our
little ones shall dwell in
the fenced cities because of the inhabitants
of the land.
32:18 We will not return unto our houses,
until the children of Israel
have inherited every man his inheritance.
32:19 For we will not inherit with them on
yonder side Jordan, or
forward; because our inheritance is fallen
to us on this side Jordan
eastward.
32:20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will
do this thing, if ye will
go armed before the LORD to war, 32:21 And
will go all of you armed
over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath
driven out his enemies from
before him, 32:22 And the land be subdued
before the LORD: then
afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless
before the LORD, and
before Israel; and this land shall be your
possession before the LORD.
32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye
have sinned against the
LORD: and be sure your sin will find you
out.
32:24 Build you cities for your little ones,
and folds for your sheep;
and do that which hath proceeded out of your
mouth.
32:25 And the children of Gad and the
children of Reuben spake unto
Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my
lord commandeth.
32:26 Our little ones, our wives, our
flocks, and all our cattle,
shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
32:27 But thy servants will
pass over, every man armed for war, before
the LORD to battle, as my
lord saith.
32:28 So concerning them Moses commanded
Eleazar the priest, and
Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers
of the tribes of the
children of Israel: 32:29 And Moses said
unto them, If the children of
Gad and the children of Reuben will pass
with you over Jordan, every
man armed to battle, before the LORD, and
the land shall be subdued
before you; then ye shall give them the land
of Gilead for a
possession: 32:30 But if they will not pass
over with you armed, they
shall have possessions among you in the land
of Canaan.
32:31 And the children of Gad and the
children of Reuben answered,
saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy
servants, so will we do.
32:32 We will pass over armed before the
LORD into the land of Canaan,
that the possession of our inheritance on
this side Jordan may be
ours.
32:33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the
children of Gad, and to
the children of Reuben, and unto half the
tribe of Manasseh the son of
Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the
Amorites, and the kingdom of
Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities
thereof in the coasts,
even the cities of the country round about.
32:34 And the children of Gad built Dibon,
and Ataroth, and Aroer,
32:35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and
Jogbehah, 32:36 And
Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities:
and folds for sheep.
32:37 And the children of Reuben built
Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
Kirjathaim, 32:38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon,
(their names being changed,)
and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the
cities which they builded.
32:39 And the children of Machir the son of
Manasseh went to Gilead,
and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite
which was in it.
32:40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the
son of Manasseh; and he
dwelt therein.
32:41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and
took the small towns
thereof, and called them Havothjair.
32:42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and
the villages thereof, and
called it Nobah, after his own name.
33:1 These are the journeys of the children
of Israel, which went
forth out of the land of Egypt with their
armies under the hand of
Moses and Aaron.
33:2 And Moses wrote their goings out
according to their journeys by
the commandment of the LORD: and these are
their journeys according to
their goings out.
33:3 And they departed from Rameses in the
first month, on the
fifteenth day of the first month; on the
morrow after the passover the
children of Israel went out with an high
hand in the sight of all the
Egyptians.
33:4 For the Egyptians buried all their
firstborn, which the LORD had
smitten among them: upon their gods also the
LORD executed judgments.
33:5 And the children of Israel removed from
Rameses, and pitched in
Succoth.
33:6 And they departed from Succoth, and
pitched in Etham, which is in
the edge of the wilderness.
33:7 And they removed from Etham, and turned
again unto Pihahiroth,
which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched
before Migdol.
33:8 And they departed from before
Pihahiroth, and passed through the
midst of the sea into the wilderness, and
went three days' journey in
the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in
Marah.
33:9 And they removed from Marah, and came
unto Elim: and in Elim were
twelve fountains of water, and threescore
and ten palm trees; and they
pitched there.
33:10 And they removed from Elim, and
encamped by the Red sea.
33:11 And they removed from the Red sea, and
encamped in the
wilderness of Sin.
33:12 And they took their journey out of the
wilderness of Sin, and
encamped in Dophkah.
33:13 And they departed from Dophkah, and
encamped in Alush.
33:14 And they removed from Alush, and
encamped at Rephidim, where was
no water for the people to drink.
33:15 And they departed from Rephidim, and
pitched in the wilderness
of Sinai.
33:16 And they removed from the desert of
Sinai, and pitched at
Kibrothhattaavah.
33:17 And they departed from
Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at
Hazeroth.
33:18 And they departed from Hazeroth, and
pitched in Rithmah.
33:19 And they departed from Rithmah, and
pitched at Rimmonparez.
33:20 And they departed from Rimmonparez,
and pitched in Libnah.
33:21 And they removed from Libnah, and
pitched at Rissah.
33:22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and
pitched in Kehelathah.
33:23 And they went from Kehelathah, and
pitched in mount Shapher.
33:24 And they removed from mount Shapher,
and encamped in Haradah.
33:25 And they removed from Haradah, and
pitched in Makheloth.
33:26 And they removed from Makheloth, and
encamped at Tahath.
33:27 And they departed from Tahath, and
pitched at Tarah.
33:28 And they removed from Tarah, and
pitched in Mithcah.
33:29 And they went from Mithcah, and
pitched in Hashmonah.
33:30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and
encamped at Moseroth.
33:31 And they departed from Moseroth, and
pitched in Benejaakan.
33:32 And they removed from Benejaakan, and
encamped at Horhagidgad.
33:33 And they went from Horhagidgad, and
pitched in Jotbathah.
33:34 And they removed from Jotbathah, and
encamped at Ebronah.
33:35 And they departed from Ebronah, and
encamped at Eziongaber.
33:36 And they removed from Eziongaber, and
pitched in the wilderness
of Zin, which is Kadesh.
33:37 And they removed from Kadesh, and
pitched in mount Hor, in the
edge of the land of Edom.
33:38 And Aaron the priest went up into
mount Hor at the commandment
of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth
year after the children
of Israel were come out of the land of
Egypt, in the first day of the
fifth month.
33:39 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty
and three years old when he
died in mount Hor.
33:40 And king Arad the Canaanite, which
dwelt in the south in the
land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the
children of Israel.
33:41 And they departed from mount Hor, and
pitched in Zalmonah.
33:42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and
pitched in Punon.
33:43 And they departed from Punon, and
pitched in Oboth.
33:44 And they departed from Oboth, and
pitched in Ijeabarim, in the
border of Moab.
33:45 And they departed from Iim, and
pitched in Dibongad.
33:46 And they removed from Dibongad, and
encamped in Almondiblathaim.
33:47 And they removed from Almondiblathaim,
and pitched in the
mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
33:48 And they departed from the mountains
of Abarim, and pitched in
the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
33:49 And they pitched by Jordan, from
Bethjesimoth even unto
Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
33:50 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the
plains of Moab by Jordan
near Jericho, saying, 33:51 Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say
unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan
into the land of Canaan;
33:52 Then ye shall drive out all the
inhabitants of the land from
before you, and destroy all their pictures,
and destroy all their
molten images, and quite pluck down all
their high places: 33:53 And
ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the
land, and dwell therein:
for I have given you the land to possess it.
33:54 And ye shall divide the land by lot
for an inheritance among
your families: and to the more ye shall give
the more inheritance, and
to the fewer ye shall give the less
inheritance: every man's
inheritance shall be in the place where his
lot falleth; according to
the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
33:55 But if ye will not drive out the
inhabitants of the land from
before you; then it shall come to pass, that
those which ye let remain
of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and
thorns in your sides, and
shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
33:56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I
shall do unto you, as I
thought to do unto them.
34:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34:2 Command the children
of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
into the land of Canaan;
(this is the land that shall fall unto you
for an inheritance, even
the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
34:3 Then your south
quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin
along by the coast of
Edom, and your south border shall be the
outmost coast of the salt sea
eastward: 34:4 And your border shall turn
from the south to the ascent
of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the
going forth thereof shall be
from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go
on to Hazaraddar, and
pass on to Azmon: 34:5 And the border shall
fetch a compass from Azmon
unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out
of it shall be at the sea.
34:6 And as for the western border, ye shall
even have the great sea
for a border: this shall be your west
border.
34:7 And this shall be your north border:
from the great sea ye shall
point out for you mount Hor: 34:8 From mount
Hor ye shall point out
your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and
the goings forth of the
border shall be to Zedad: 34:9 And the
border shall go on to Ziphron,
and the goings out of it shall be at
Hazarenan: this shall be your
north border.
34:10 And ye shall point out your east
border from Hazarenan to
Shepham: 34:11 And the coast shall go down
from Shepham to Riblah, on
the east side of Ain; and the border shall
descend, and shall reach
unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth
eastward: 34:12 And the border
shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out
of it shall be at the salt
sea: this shall be your land with the coasts
thereof round about.
34:13 And Moses commanded the children of
Israel, saying, This is the
land which ye shall inherit by lot, which
the LORD commanded to give
unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
34:14 For the tribe of
the children of Reuben according to the
house of their fathers, and
the tribe of the children of Gad according
to the house of their
fathers, have received their inheritance;
and half the tribe of
Manasseh have received their inheritance:
34:15 The two tribes and the
half tribe have received their inheritance
on this side Jordan near
Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
34:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34:17 These are the names
of the men which shall divide the land unto
you: Eleazar the priest,
and Joshua the son of Nun.
34:18 And ye shall take one prince of every
tribe, to divide the land
by inheritance.
34:19 And the names of the men are these: Of
the tribe of Judah, Caleb
the son of Jephunneh.
34:20 And of the tribe of the children of
Simeon, Shemuel the son of
Ammihud.
34:21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the
son of Chislon.
34:22 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Dan, Bukki the
son of Jogli.
34:23 The prince of the children of Joseph,
for the tribe of the
children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of
Ephod.
34:24 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Ephraim, Kemuel
the son of Shiphtan.
34:25 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Zebulun,
Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
34:26 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Issachar, Paltiel
the son of Azzan.
34:27 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Asher, Ahihud the
son of Shelomi.
34:28 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Naphtali, Pedahel
the son of Ammihud.
34:29 These are they whom the LORD commanded
to divide the inheritance
unto the children of Israel in the land of
Canaan.
35:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the
plains of Moab by Jordan
near Jericho, saying, 35:2 Command the
children of Israel, that they
give unto the Levites of the inheritance of
their possession cities to
dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the
Levites suburbs for the
cities round about them.
35:3 And the cities shall they have to dwell
in; and the suburbs of
them shall be for their cattle, and for
their goods, and for all their
beasts.
35:4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye
shall give unto the
Levites, shall reach from the wall of the
city and outward a thousand
cubits round about.
35:5 And ye shall measure from without the
city on the east side two
thousand cubits, and on the south side two
thousand cubits, and on the
west side two thousand cubits, and on the
north side two thousand
cubits; and the city shall be in the midst:
this shall be to them the
suburbs of the cities.
35:6 And among the cities which ye shall
give unto the Levites there
shall be six cities for refuge, which ye
shall appoint for the
manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to
them ye shall add forty
and two cities.
35:7 So all the cities which ye shall give
to the Levites shall be
forty and eight cities: them shall ye give
with their suburbs.
35:8 And the cities which ye shall give
shall be of the possession of
the children of Israel: from them that have
many ye shall give many;
but from them that have few ye shall give
few: every one shall give of
his cities unto the Levites according to his
inheritance which he
inheriteth.
35:9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
35:10 Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When
ye be come over Jordan
into the land of Canaan; 35:11 Then ye shall
appoint you cities to be
cities of refuge for you; that the slayer
may flee thither, which
killeth any person at unawares.
35:12 And they shall be unto you cities for
refuge from the avenger;
that the manslayer die not, until he stand
before the congregation in
judgment.
35:13 And of these cities which ye shall
give six cities shall ye have
for refuge.
35:14 Ye shall give three cities on this
side Jordan, and three cities
shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which
shall be cities of refuge.
35:15 These six cities shall be a refuge,
both for the children of
Israel, and for the stranger, and for the
sojourner among them: that
every one that killeth any person unawares
may flee thither.
35:16 And if he smite him with an instrument
of iron, so that he die,
he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely
be put to death.
35:17 And if he smite him with throwing a
stone, wherewith he may die,
and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer
shall surely be put to
death.
35:18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon
of wood, wherewith he may
die, and he die, he is a murderer: the
murderer shall surely be put to
death.
35:19 The revenger of blood himself shall
slay the murderer: when he
meeteth him, he shall slay him.
35:20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or
hurl at him by laying of
wait, that he die; 35:21 Or in enmity smite
him with his hand, that he
die: he that smote him shall surely be put
to death; for he is a
murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay
the murderer, when he
meeteth him.
35:22 But if he thrust him suddenly without
enmity, or have cast upon
him any thing without laying of wait, 35:23
Or with any stone,
wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and
cast it upon him, that he
die, and was not his enemy, neither sought
his harm: 35:24 Then the
congregation shall judge between the slayer
and the revenger of blood
according to these judgments: 35:25 And the
congregation shall deliver
the slayer out of the hand of the revenger
of blood, and the
congregation shall restore him to the city
of his refuge, whither he
was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the
death of the high priest,
which was anointed with the holy oil.
35:26 But if the slayer shall at any time
come without the border of
the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
35:27 And the revenger of
blood find him without the borders of the
city of his refuge, and the
revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall
not be guilty of blood:
35:28 Because he should have remained in the
city of his refuge until
the death of the high priest: but after the
death of the high priest
the slayer shall return into the land of his
possession.
35:29 So these things shall be for a statute
of judgment unto you
throughout your generations in all your
dwellings.
35:30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer
shall be put to death by
the mouth of witnesses: but one witness
shall not testify against any
person to cause him to die.
35:31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction
for the life of a
murderer, which is guilty of death: but he
shall be surely put to
death.
35:32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for
him that is fled to the
city of his refuge, that he should come
again to dwell in the land,
until the death of the priest.
35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land
wherein ye are: for blood it
defileth the land: and the land cannot be
cleansed of the blood that
is shed therein, but by the blood of him
that shed it.
35:34 Defile not therefore the land which ye
shall inhabit, wherein I
dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the
children of Israel.
36:1 And the chief fathers of the families
of the children of Gilead,
the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of
the families of the sons of
Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses,
and before the princes, the
chief fathers of the children of Israel:
36:2 And they said, The LORD
commanded my lord to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the
children of Israel: and my lord was
commanded by the LORD to give the
inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto
his daughters.
36:3 And if they be married to any of the
sons of the other tribes of
the children of Israel, then shall their
inheritance be taken from the
inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put
to the inheritance of the
tribe whereunto they are received: so shall
it be taken from the lot
of our inheritance.
36:4 And when the jubile of the children of
Israel shall be, then
shall their inheritance be put unto the
inheritance of the tribe
whereunto they are received: so shall their
inheritance be taken away
from the inheritance of the tribe of our
fathers.
36:5 And Moses commanded the children of
Israel according to the word
of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons
of Joseph hath said well.
36:6 This is the thing which the LORD doth
command concerning the
daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them
marry to whom they think
best; only to the family of the tribe of
their father shall they
marry.
36:7 So shall not the inheritance of the
children of Israel remove
from tribe to tribe: for every one of the
children of Israel shall
keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe
of his fathers.
36:8 And every daughter, that possesseth an
inheritance in any tribe
of the children of Israel, shall be wife
unto one of the family of the
tribe of her father, that the children of
Israel may enjoy every man
the inheritance of his fathers.
36:9 Neither shall the inheritance remove
from one tribe to another
tribe; but every one of the tribes of the
children of Israel shall
keep himself to his own inheritance.
36:10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so
did the daughters of
Zelophehad: 36:11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and
Hoglah, and Milcah, and
Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were
married unto their father's
brothers' sons: 36:12 And they were married
into the families of the
sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and
their inheritance remained in
the tribe of the family of their father.
36:13 These are the commandments and the
judgments, which the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses unto the
children of Israel in the
plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
