2 They said, “Does the Lord speak only through Moses? Does he not also speak through us?” And the Lord heard it.
3 Moses was a very humble man, more so than anyone on the face of the earth.
1 The Lord spoke to Moses:
2 “Send men to scout out the land of Canaan I am giving to the Israelites. Send one man who is a leader among them from each of their ancestral tribes.”
1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:
2 “The Israelites are to camp under their respective banners beside the flags of their ancestral families. They are to camp around the tent of meeting at a distance from it:
3 Judah’s military divisions will camp on the east side toward the sunrise under their banner. The leader of the descendants of Judah is Nahshon son of Amminadab.
4 His military division numbers 74,600.
5 The tribe of Issachar will camp next to it. The leader of the Issacharites is Nethanel son of Zuar.
6 His military division numbers 54,400.
7 The tribe of Zebulun will be next. The leader of the Zebulunites is Eliab son of Helon.
8 His military division numbers 57,400.
9 The total number in their military divisions who belong to Judah’s encampment is 186,400; they will move out first.
10 Reuben’s military divisions will camp on the south side under their banner. The leader of the Reubenites is Elizur son of Shedeur.
11 His military division numbers 46,500.
12 The tribe of Simeon will camp next to it. The leader of the Simeonites is Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.
13 His military division numbers 59,300.
14 The tribe of Gad will be next. The leader of the Gadites is Eliasaph son of Deuel.
15 His military division numbers 45,650.
16 The total number in their military divisions who belong to Reuben’s encampment is 151,450; they will move out second.
17 The tent of meeting is to move out with the Levites’ camp, which is in the middle of the camps. They are to move out just as they camp, each in his place, with their banners.
18 Ephraim’s military divisions will camp on the west side under their banner. The leader of the Ephraimites is Elishama son of Ammihud.
19 His military division numbers 40,500.
20 The tribe of Manasseh will be next to it. The leader of the Manassites is Gamaliel son of Pedahzur.
21 His military division numbers 32,200.
22 The tribe of Benjamin will be next. The leader of the Benjaminites is Abidan son of Gideoni.
23 His military division numbers 35,400.
24 The total in their military divisions who belong to Ephraim’s encampment number 108,100; they will move out third.
25 Dan’s military divisions will camp on the north side under their banner. The leader of the Danites is Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.
26 His military division numbers 62,700.
27 The tribe of Asher will camp next to it. The leader of the Asherites is Pagiel son of Ochran.
28 His military division numbers 41,500.
29 The tribe of Naphtali will be next. The leader of the Naphtalites is Ahira son of Enan.
30 His military division numbers 53,400.
31 The total number who belong to Dan’s encampment is 157,600; they are to move out last, with their banners.”
32 These are the Israelites registered by their ancestral families. The total number in the camps by their military divisions is 603,550.
33 But the Levites were not registered among the Israelites, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
34 The Israelites did everything the Lord commanded Moses; they camped by their banners in this way and moved out the same way, each man by his clan and by his ancestral family.
1 These are the family records of Aaron and Moses at the time the Lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 These are the names of Aaron’s sons: Nadab, the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 These are the names of Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.
4 But Nadab and Abihu died in the Lord’s presence when they presented unauthorized fire before the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests under the direction of Aaron their father.
5 The Lord spoke to Moses:
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near and present them to the priest Aaron to assist him.
7 They are to perform duties for him and the entire community before the tent of meeting by attending to the service of the tabernacle.
8 They are to take care of all the furnishings of the tent of meeting and perform duties for the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle.
9 Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been assigned exclusively to him from the Israelites.
10 You are to appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out their priestly responsibilities, but any unauthorized person who comes near the sanctuary is to be put to death.”
11 The Lord spoke to Moses:
12 “See, I have taken the Levites from the Israelites in place of every firstborn Israelite from the womb. The Levites belong to me,
13 because every firstborn belongs to me. At the time I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated every firstborn in Israel to myself, both man and animal. They are mine; I am the Lord.”
14 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai:
15 “Register the Levites by their ancestral families and their clans. You are to register every male one month old or more.”
16 So Moses registered them in obedience to the Lord as he had been commanded:
17 These were Levi’s sons by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
18 These were the names of Gershon’s sons by their clans: Libni and Shimei.
19 Kohath’s sons by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
20 Merari’s sons by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the Levite clans by their ancestral families.
21 The Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan came from Gershon; these were the Gershonite clans.
22 Those registered, counting every male one month old or more, numbered 7,500.
23 The Gershonite clans camped behind the tabernacle on the west side,
24 and the leader of the Gershonite families was Eliasaph son of Lael.
25 The Gershonites’ duties at the tent of meeting involved the tabernacle, the tent, its covering, the screen for the entrance to the tent of meeting,
26 the hangings of the courtyard, the screen for the entrance to the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and the altar, and the tent ropes—all the work relating to these.
27 The Amramite clan, the Izharite clan, the Hebronite clan, and the Uzzielite clan came from Kohath; these were the Kohathites.
28 Counting every male one month old or more, there were 8,600 responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.
29 The clans of the Kohathites camped on the south side of the tabernacle,
30 and the leader of the families of the Kohathite clans was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.
31 Their duties involved the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the sanctuary utensils that were used with these, and the screen—and all the work relating to them.
32 The chief of the Levite leaders was Eleazar son of Aaron the priest; he had oversight of those responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.
33 The Mahlite clan and the Mushite clan came from Merari; these were the Merarite clans.
34 Those registered, counting every male one month old or more, numbered 6,200.
35 The leader of the families of the Merarite clans was Zuriel son of Abihail; they camped on the north side of the tabernacle.
36 The assigned duties of Merari’s descendants involved the tabernacle’s supports, crossbars, pillars, bases, all its equipment, and all the work related to these,
37 in addition to the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes.
38 Moses, Aaron, and his sons, who performed the duties of the sanctuary as a service on behalf of the Israelites, camped in front of the tabernacle on the east, in front of the tent of meeting toward the sunrise. Any unauthorized person who came near it was to be put to death.
39 The total number of all the Levite males one month old or more that Moses and Aaron registered by their clans at the Lord’s command was 22,000.
40 The Lord told Moses: “Register every firstborn male of the Israelites one month old or more, and list their names.
41 You are to take the Levites for me—I am the Lord—in place of every firstborn among the Israelites, and the Levites’ cattle in place of every firstborn among the Israelites’ cattle.”
42 So Moses registered every firstborn among the Israelites, as the Lord commanded him.
43 The total number of the firstborn males one month old or more listed by name was 22,273.
44 The Lord spoke to Moses again:
45 “Take the Levites in place of every firstborn among the Israelites, and the Levites’ cattle in place of their cattle. The Levites belong to me; I am the Lord.
46 As the redemption price for the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites,
47 collect five shekels for each person, according to the standard sanctuary shekel—twenty gerahs to the shekel.
48 Give the silver to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for those who are in excess among the Israelites.”
49 So Moses collected the redemption amount from those in excess of the ones redeemed by the Levites.
50 He collected the silver from the firstborn Israelites: 1,365 shekels measured by the standard sanctuary shekel.
51 He gave the redemption silver to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the Lord, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
num 13:1-2
Num
26 The men went back to Moses, Aaron, and the entire Israelite community in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back a report for them and the whole community, and they showed them the fruit of the land.
27 They reported to Moses: “We went into the land where you sent us. Indeed it is flowing with milk and honey, and here is some of its fruit.
28 However, the people living in the land are strong, and the cities are large and fortified. We also saw the descendants of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites are living in the land of the Negev; the Hethites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan.”
30 Then Caleb quieted the people in the presence of Moses and said, “Let’s go up now and take possession of the land because we can certainly conquer it!”
31 But the men who had gone up with him responded, “We can’t attack the people because they are stronger than we are!”
32 So they gave a negative report to the Israelites about the land they had scouted: “The land we passed through to explore is one that devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw in it are men of great size.
33 We even saw the Nephilim there—the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim! To ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and we must have seemed the same to them.”
num 13:26-
1 Then the whole community broke into loud cries, and the people wept that night.
2 All the Israelites complained about Moses and Aaron, and the whole community told them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
3 Why is the Lord bringing us into this land to die by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
4 So they said to one another, “Let’s appoint a leader and go back to Egypt.”
num 14:
30 I swear that none of you will enter the land I promised to settle you in, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
31 I will bring your children whom you said would become plunder into the land you rejected, and they will enjoy it.
32 But as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness.
33 Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years and bear the penalty for your acts of unfaithfulness until all your corpses lie scattered in the wilderness.
34 You will bear the consequences of your iniquities forty years based on the number of the forty days that you scouted the land, a year for each day. You will know my displeasure.
35 I, the Lord, have spoken. I swear that I will do this to the entire evil community that has conspired against me. They will come to an end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
num 14:
4 Then they set out from Mount Hor by way of the Red Sea to bypass the land of Edom, but the people became impatient because of the journey.
5 The people spoke against God and Moses: “Why have you led us up from Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread or water, and we detest this wretched food!”
6 Then the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the people, and they bit them so that many Israelites died.
7 The people then came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you. Intercede with the Lord so that he will take the snakes away from us.” And Moses interceded for the people.
8 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake image and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will recover.”
9 So Moses made a bronze snake and mounted it on a pole. Whenever someone was bitten, and he looked at the bronze snake, he recovered.
