ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ But even a whole month, month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁶ And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, thee, I will get me back again.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵² And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶¹ And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁵ For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
