This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the consecration (ordination) offering, and the sacrifice of peace offerings,


book: Lev
contenido:
which the Lord commanded Moses at Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the Lord, in the Wilderness of Sinai.


book: Lev
contenido:
“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments [which are symbols of their office], and the anointing oil, and the bull for the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;


book: Lev
contenido:
Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting.


book: Lev
contenido:
He put the undertunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him in the robe, and put the ephod (an upper vestment) on him. He tied the [skillfully woven] band of the ephod around him, with which he secured it to Aaron.


book: Lev
contenido:
Moses then put the breastpiece on Aaron, and he put in the breastpiece the Urim and the Thummim [the sacred articles the high priest used when seeking God’s will concerning the nation].


book: Lev
contenido:
He also put the turban on Aaron’s head, and on it, in the front, Moses placed the golden plate, the holy crown, just as the Lord had commanded him.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.


book: Lev
contenido:
He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.


book: Lev
contenido:
Next Moses brought Aaron’s sons forward, put undertunics on them, belted them with sashes, and bound caps on them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then he brought the bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull.


book: Lev
contenido:
Next Moses killed it and took the blood and with his finger put some of it around on the horns of the altar and purified it [from sin]. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it, to make atonement for it.


book: Lev
contenido:
He took all the fat that was on the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses offered them up in smoke on the altar.


book: Lev
contenido:
But the bull (the sin offering) and its hide, its meat, and its refuse he burned in the fire outside the camp, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.


book: Lev
contenido:
He brought the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.


book: Lev
contenido:
After he had washed the entrails and the legs in water, Moses offered up the whole ram in smoke on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then he brought the second ram, the ram of consecration (ordination), and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.


book: Lev
contenido:
Moses killed it and took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.


book: Lev
contenido:
He also brought Aaron’s sons forward and put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the big toes of their right feet; and Moses sprinkled the rest of the blood around on the altar.


book: Lev
contenido:
He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh;


book: Lev
contenido:
and from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he took one unleavened cake, a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer and put them on the fat and on the right thigh;


book: Lev
contenido:
and he put all these things in Aaron’s hands and his sons’ hands and presented them as a wave offering before the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then Moses took these things from their hands and offered them up in smoke on the altar with the burnt offering. They were a consecration (ordination) offering for a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
Moses also took the breast and presented it as a wave offering before the Lord; it was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration (ordination), just as the Lord had commanded Moses.


book: Lev
contenido:
So Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his garments, and also on his sons and their garments with him; so Moses consecrated Aaron and his garments, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting and eat it there together with the bread that is in the basket of the consecration (ordination) offering, just as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’


book: Lev
contenido:
You shall not go outside the doorway of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration (ordination) are ended; for it will take seven days to consecrate you.


book: Lev
contenido:
You shall remain day and night for seven days at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, doing what the Lord has required you to do, so that you will not die; for so I (Moses) have been commanded.”


book: Lev
contenido:
Aaron Offers Sacrifices And it happened on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel;


book: Lev
contenido:
and he said to Aaron, “Take a bull calf as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, [each] without blemish, and offer both before the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then say to the Israelites, ‘Take a male goat as a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both one year old, without blemish, as a burnt offering,


book: Lev
contenido:
and a bull and a ram as peace offerings to sacrifice before the Lord, and a grain offering mixed with [olive] oil, for today the Lord will appear to you.’”


book: Lev
contenido:
So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and all the congregation approached and stood before the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord may appear to you.”


book: Lev
contenido:
Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and present your sin offering and your burnt offering and make atonement for yourself and for the people; and present the offering of the people and make atonement for them, just as the Lord has commanded.”


book: Lev
contenido:
So Aaron approached the altar and killed the calf as the sin offering, which was designated for himself.


book: Lev
contenido:
The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; he dipped his finger in the blood and put some of it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the rest of the blood at the altar’s base;


book: Lev
contenido:
but the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering he offered up in smoke on the altar, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then he killed the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him and he sprinkled it around on the altar.


book: Lev
contenido:
They brought the burnt offering to him piece by piece, with the head, and Aaron offered them up in smoke on the altar.


book: Lev
contenido:
He also washed the entrails and the legs, and offered them up in smoke with the burnt offering on the altar.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then Aaron presented the people’s offering. He took the goat for the sin offering of the people, and killed it and offered it for sin, as he did the first.


book: Lev
contenido:
Next Aaron presented the grain offering and took a handful of it and offered it up in smoke on the altar in addition to the burnt offering of the morning.


book: Lev
contenido:
He also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings which was for the people; and Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him and he sprinkled it around on the altar,


book: Lev
contenido:
As for the portions of fat from the bull and from the ram—the fat tail, and the fat covering the internal organs, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver—


book: Lev
contenido:
they now put the portions of fat on the breasts; and Aaron offered the fat up in smoke on the altar.


book: Lev
contenido:
But the breasts and the right thigh Aaron presented as a wave offering before the Lord, just as Moses had commanded.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them, and came down [from the altar of burnt offering] after presenting the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.


book: Lev
contenido:
Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came out they blessed the people, and the glory and brilliance of the Lord [the Shekinah cloud] appeared to all the people [as promised].


book: Lev
contenido:
Then fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the portions of fat on the altar; and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell face downward [in awe and worship].


book: Lev
contenido:
The Sin of Nadab and Abihu Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective [ceremonial] censers, put fire in them, placed incense on it and offered strange (unauthorized, unacceptable) fire before the Lord, [an act] which He had not commanded them to do.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord said: ‘I will be treated as holy by those who approach Me, And before all the people I will be honored.’” So Aaron, therefore, said nothing.


book: Lev
contenido:
Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel who was Aaron’s uncle, and said to them, “Come here, carry your relatives away from the front of the sanctuary and take them outside the camp.”


book: Lev
contenido:
So they came forward and carried them, still in their undertunics, outside the camp, as Moses had said.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then Moses said to Aaron and to his [younger] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not uncover your heads nor let your hair hang loose nor tear your clothes [as expressions of mourning], so that you will not die [also] and so that He will not express His wrath and anger toward all the congregation. But your relatives, the whole house of Israel, may mourn the burning which the Lord has brought about.


book: Lev
contenido:
You shall not even go out of the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, or you will die; for the Lord’s anointing oil is upon you.” So they did [everything] according to the word of Moses.


book: Lev
contenido:
“Do not drink wine or intoxicating drink, neither you nor your sons with you, when you come into the Tent of Meeting, so that you will not die—it is a permanent statute throughout your generations—


book: Lev
contenido:
and to make a distinction and recognize a difference between the holy (sacred) and the common (profane), and between the [ceremonially] unclean and the clean;


book: Lev
contenido:
and you are to teach the Israelites all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them through Moses.”


book: Lev
contenido:
Then Moses said to Aaron, and to his surviving sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that is left over from the offerings by fire to the Lord, and eat it unleavened beside the altar, for it is most holy.


book: Lev
contenido:
You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion and your sons’ portion, from the offerings by fire to the Lord; for so I have been commanded.


book: Lev
contenido:
But the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering you may eat in a clean place, you and your sons and daughters with you; for the breast and the thigh are your portion and your sons’ portion, given out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the Israelites.


book: Lev
contenido:
They shall bring the thigh presented by lifting up and the breast presented by waving, along with the offerings by fire of the fat, to present as a wave offering before the Lord. This shall be yours and your sons’ with you, as your perpetual portion, just as the Lord has commanded.”


book: Lev
contenido:
But Moses diligently tried to find the goat [that had been offered] as the sin offering, and discovered that it had been burned up [as waste, not eaten]! So he was angry with Aaron’s surviving sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying,


book: Lev
contenido:
“Why did you not eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; and God gave it to you to remove the guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
Behold, its blood was not brought into the Holy Place; you certainly should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary, just as I commanded.”


book: Lev
contenido:
Then Aaron said to Moses, “This very day they have [obediently] presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, but [such terrible things] as these have happened to me [and to them]; if I [and my sons] had eaten a sin offering today would it have been acceptable and pleasing in the sight of the Lord?”


book: Lev
contenido:
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Among all the animals which are on the earth, these are the animals which you may eat.


book: Lev
contenido:
You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof [that is, a hoof split into two parts especially at its distal extremity] and chews the cud.


book: Lev
contenido:
Nevertheless, you are not to eat these, among those which chew the cud or divide the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is [ceremonially] unclean to you.


book: Lev
contenido:
And the swine, because it divides the hoof and makes a split hoof, but does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘These you may eat, whatever is in the water: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, these you may eat;


book: Lev
contenido:
but whatever does not have fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all the teeming life in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are [to be considered] detestable to you.


book: Lev
contenido:
Avoid the Unclean ‘These you shall detest among the birds; they are not to be eaten, for they are hated things: the eagle and the vulture and the buzzard,


book: Lev
contenido:
yet of all winged insects that walk on all fours you may eat those which have legs above their feet with which to leap on the ground.


book: Lev
contenido:
Of these you may eat: the whole species of migratory locust, of bald locust, of cricket, and of grasshopper.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘By [contact with] these you will become unclean; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until the evening (dusk),


book: Lev
contenido:
and whoever picks up any of their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.


book: Lev
contenido:
Concerning all the animals which divide the hoof, but do not have a split hoof, or which do not chew the cud, they are unclean to you; whoever touches them becomes unclean.


book: Lev
contenido:
Also all animals that walk on their paws, among all kinds of animals that walk on four legs, are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until the evening,


book: Lev
contenido:
and the one who picks up their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘These also are unclean to you among the swarming things that crawl around on the ground [and multiply profusely]: the mole, the mouse, and any kind of great lizard,


book: Lev
contenido:
These [creatures] are unclean to you among all that swarm; whoever touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until evening.


book: Lev
contenido:
Also anything on which one of them falls after dying becomes unclean, whether it is an article of wood or clothing, or a skin, or a sack—any article that is used—it must be put in water, and will be unclean until the evening; then it becomes clean.


book: Lev
contenido:
As for any earthenware container into which any of these [crawling things] falls, whatever is in it becomes unclean, and you shall break the container.


book: Lev
contenido:
Any of the food which may be eaten, but on which [unclean] water falls, shall become unclean, and any liquid that may be drunk in every container shall become unclean.


book: Lev
contenido:
Everything that part of their carcass falls on becomes unclean; an oven, or a small stove shall be smashed; they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.


book: Lev
contenido:
Nevertheless a spring or a cistern (reservoir) collecting water shall be clean; but whoever touches one of these carcasses shall be unclean.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘If one of the animals that you may eat dies [of natural causes], whoever touches its carcass becomes unclean until the evening.


book: Lev
contenido:
And whoever eats some of its meat shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening; also whoever picks up its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.


book: Lev
contenido:
Whatever crawls on its belly, and whatever walks on all fours, and whatever has many feet among all things that swarm on the ground, you shall not eat; for they are detestable.


book: Lev
contenido:
Do not make yourselves loathsome (impure, repulsive) by [eating] any swarming thing; you shall not make yourselves unclean by them so as to defile yourselves.


book: Lev
contenido:
For I am the Lord your God; so consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm or crawls on the ground.


book: Lev
contenido:
For I am the Lord who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; therefore you shall be holy, for I am holy.’”


book: Lev
contenido:
This is the law regarding the animal and the bird and every living thing that moves in the waters and everything that swarms on the earth,


book: Lev
contenido:
to make a distinction between the [ceremonially] unclean and the [ceremonially] clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.


book: Lev
contenido:
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a woman conceives and gives birth to a male child, she shall be [ceremonially] unclean for seven days, unclean as during her monthly period.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then she shall remain [intimately separated] thirty-three days to be purified from the blood; she shall not touch any consecrated thing nor enter the [courtyard of the] sanctuary until the days of her purification are over.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if she gives birth to a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as during her monthly period, and she shall remain [intimately separated] sixty-six days to be purified from the blood.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘When the days of her purification are completed, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting a one year old lamb as a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove as a sin offering;


book: Lev
contenido:
and he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who gives birth to a child, whether a male or a female child.


book: Lev
contenido:
If she cannot afford a lamb then she shall take two turtledoves or young pigeons, one as a burnt offering, the other as a sin offering; the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”


book: Lev
contenido:
“When a man has a swelling on the skin of his body, a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes the infection of leprosy on the skin of his body, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests.


book: Lev
contenido:
The priest shall look at the diseased spot on the skin of his body, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears deeper than the skin of his body, it is an infection of leprosy; when the priest has looked at him, he shall pronounce him [ceremonially] unclean.


book: Lev
contenido:
If the bright spot is white on the skin of his body and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair on it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the person who has the infection for seven days.


book: Lev
contenido:
The priest shall examine it on the seventh day, and if in his estimation the infection has not changed and has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.


book: Lev
contenido:
The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day, and if the infection has a more normal color and the spot has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only a scab; and he shall wash his clothes and be clean.


book: Lev
contenido:
“But if the scab spreads farther on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his [ceremonial] cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.


book: Lev
contenido:
The priest shall look, and if the scab has spread on the skin, then he shall pronounce him unclean; it is leprosy.


book: Lev
contenido:
The priest shall examine him, and if there is a white swelling on the skin and it has turned the hair white and there is new raw flesh in the swelling,


book: Lev
contenido:
it is a chronic leprosy on the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not isolate him because he is [clearly] unclean.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if the [suspected] leprosy breaks out farther on the skin, and it covers all of the skin of the one who has the outbreak—from his head to his foot—wherever the priest looks,


book: Lev
contenido:
the priest shall examine him. If the [suspected] leprosy has covered his entire body, he shall pronounce him clean of the disease; it has all turned white, and he is clean.


book: Lev
contenido:
The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and he shall pronounce him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy.


book: Lev
contenido:
and the priest shall examine him, and if the diseased part is changed to white, then the priest shall pronounce him who had the disease to be clean; he is clean.


book: Lev
contenido:
and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a bright spot, reddish white, then it shall be shown to the priest;


book: Lev
contenido:
and the priest shall look, and if it looks deeper than the skin and the hair on it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the disease of leprosy; it has broken out in the boil.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if the priest examines it and finds no white hair in it and it is not deeper than the skin and is dull in color, then the priest shall isolate him for seven days.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if the bright spot remains where it is and does not spread, it is the scar of the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.


book: Lev
contenido:
“Or if the body has on its skin a burn from fire and the new flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish white or white,


book: Lev
contenido:
then the priest shall examine it, and if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin, then leprosy has broken out in the burn. So the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the disease of leprosy.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the bright spot and it is not deeper than [the rest of] the skin but is dull in color, then the priest shall isolate him for seven days.


book: Lev
contenido:
And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day; if it is spreading farther on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is leprosy.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if the bright spot remains in its place and has not spread in the skin, but is dull in color, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar of the burn.


book: Lev
contenido:
the priest shall examine the diseased place; if it appears to be deeper than the skin, with yellow, thin hair in it, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scale, it is leprosy of the head or beard.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if the priest examines the spot infected by the scale, and it does not appear deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the person with the scaly infection for seven days.


book: Lev
contenido:
On the seventh day the priest shall examine the diseased spot; if the scale has not spread and has no yellow hair in it, and the scale does not look deeper than the skin,


book: Lev
contenido:
then he shall shave himself, but he shall not shave the scale; and the priest shall isolate the person with the scale for seven more days.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then on the seventh day the priest shall look at the scale; if the scale has not spread on the skin and appears to be no deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; he shall wash his clothes and be clean.


book: Lev
contenido:
then the priest shall examine him, and if the scale has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for the yellowish hair; he is unclean.


book: Lev
contenido:
If, in the priest’s estimation, the scale has remained [without spreading], and black hair has grown in it, the scale is healed; he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.


book: Lev
contenido:
then the priest shall look, and if the bright spots on the skin of their bodies is a dull white, it is [only] a rash that has broken out on the skin; he is clean.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if there is a reddish-white infection on the bald head or forehead, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or forehead.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then the priest shall examine him, and if the diseased swelling is reddish-white on his bald head or forehead like the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the body,


book: Lev
contenido:
he is a leprous man; he is unclean; the priest shall most certainly pronounce him unclean; his disease is on his head.


book: Lev
contenido:
“As for the leper who has the infection, his clothes shall be torn, and the hair of his head shall be uncovered (disheveled), and he shall cover his mustache and call out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’


book: Lev
contenido:
He shall remain [ceremonially] unclean as long as the disease is on him; he is unclean. He shall live alone; he shall live outside the camp.


book: Lev
contenido:
whether in woven or knitted material or in the warp (lengthwise strands) or woof (crosswise strands) of linen or of wool, or in a skin or on anything made of leather,


book: Lev
contenido:
if the mark is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather or in the warp or woof or in any article made of leather, it is an infestation of leprosy and shall be shown to the priest.


book: Lev
contenido:
He shall examine the mark on the seventh day; if it has spread in the garment, whether in the warp or the woof, or in the leather, whatever the leather’s purpose, the mark is a malignant leprosy; it is unclean.


book: Lev
contenido:
So he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or woof, in wool or linen, or on anything made of leather in which the mark occurs; for it is a malignant leprosy; it shall be burned in the fire.


book: Lev
contenido:
“But if the priest sees that the mark has not spread in the garment, either in the warp or the woof, or on anything made of leather,


book: Lev
contenido:
then the priest shall order that they wash the thing in which the mark occurs, and he shall quarantine it for seven more days.


book: Lev
contenido:
The priest shall examine the article with the mark after it has been washed, and if the mark has not changed color, even though the mark has not spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire; it is a corroding mildew, whether on the top or on the front of it.


book: Lev
contenido:
“If the priest looks and the mark has faded after it is washed, he shall tear it out of the garment, or the leather, or out of the warp or woof.


book: Lev
contenido:
If it still appears in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or on anything made of leather, it is an outbreak; you shall burn the marked part in the fire.


book: Lev
contenido:
The garment, whether the warp or the woof, or anything made of leather from which the mildew has departed after washing, shall then be washed a second time and it will be [ceremonially] clean.”


book: Lev
contenido:
This is the law for a leprous disease in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp or woof, or on anything made of leather, to pronounce it clean or unclean.


book: Lev
contenido:
“This shall be the law of the leper on the day of his [ceremonial] cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest [at a meeting place outside the camp];


book: Lev
contenido:
the priest shall go out of the camp [to meet him]; and the priest shall examine him, and if the leper has been healed of the infection of leprosy,


book: Lev
contenido:
then the priest shall give orders to take two live clean birds and cedar wood and scarlet string and hyssop for the one to be cleansed.


book: Lev
contenido:
Next the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed [as a sacrifice] in an earthenware container over [fresh] running water.


book: Lev
contenido:
As for the live bird, he shall take it together with the cedar wood and the scarlet string and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird sacrificed over the running water.


book: Lev
contenido:
He shall sprinkle [the blood] seven times on the one to be cleansed from the leprosy and shall pronounce him [ceremonially] clean. Then he shall let the live bird go free over the open field.


book: Lev
contenido:
The one to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe in water; and he shall be clean. After that he may come into the camp, but he shall stay outside of his tent for seven days.


book: Lev
contenido:
On the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair: he shall shave his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair [on his body]. Then he shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and be clean.


book: Lev
contenido:
“Now on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and a yearling ewe lamb without blemish, and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with [olive] oil as a grain offering, and one log (about a pint) of oil;


book: Lev
contenido:
and the priest who cleanses him shall present the man to be cleansed and his offerings before the Lord at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting.


book: Lev
contenido:
“Then the priest shall take one of the male lambs and offer it as a guilt offering, with the log of oil, and present them as a wave offering before the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the sacred place [the courtyard of the tabernacle]; for the guilt offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest; it is most holy.


book: Lev
contenido:
“The priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.


book: Lev
contenido:
and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left palm, and with his finger sprinkle some of the oil seven times before the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
“Of the rest of the oil which is in his palm, the priest shall put some on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering.


book: Lev
contenido:
The remaining oil that is in the priest’s palm shall be put on the head of the one to be cleansed. The priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.

‘Therefore you shall carry out My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them, so that you may live securely on the land.

then he shall calculate the years since its sale and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and so return to his [ancestral] property.

‘If a man sells a house in a walled city, then his right of redemption remains valid for a full year after its sale; his right of redemption lasts a full year.

The houses of the villages that have no surrounding walls, however, shall be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and revert in the Year of Jubilee.


book: Lev

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

‘And if your fellow countryman becomes so poor [in his dealings] with you that he sells himself to you [as payment for a debt], you shall not let him do the work of a slave [who is ineligible for redemption],


book: Lev

either his uncle or his uncle’s son may redeem him, or one of his blood relatives from his family may redeem him; or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.


book: Lev
contenido:
Then he [or his redeemer] shall calculate with his purchaser from the year when he sold himself to the purchaser to the Year of Jubilee, and the [original] price of his sale shall be adjusted according to the number of years. The time he was with his owner shall be considered as that of a hired man.


book: Lev
contenido:
If there are still many years [before the Year of Jubilee], in proportion to them he must refund [to the purchaser] part of the price of his sale for his redemption and release.


book: Lev
contenido:
And if only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he shall so calculate it with him. He is to refund the proportionate amount for his release.


book: Lev
contenido:
Like a man hired year by year he shall deal with him; he shall not rule over him with harshness in your sight.


book: Lev

Even if he is not redeemed during these years and under these provisions, then he shall go free in the Year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.

If in spite of all this you still will not listen to Me and be obedient, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.


book: Lev
contenido:
I will break your pride in your power, and I will make your sky like iron [giving no rain and blocking all prayers] and your ground like bronze [hard to plow and yielding no produce].


book: Lev
contenido:
Your strength will be spent uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘If then, you act with hostility toward Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you seven times in accordance with your sins.


book: Lev
contenido:
I will let loose the [wild] animals of the field among you, which will bereave you of your children and destroy your livestock and make you so few in number that your roads will lie deserted and desolate.


book: Lev
contenido:
I will bring a sword on you that will execute vengeance for [breaking] the covenant; and when you gather together in your cities, I will send pestilence (virulent disease) among you, and you shall be handed over to the enemy.


book: Lev
contenido:
When I break your staff of bread [that is, cut off your supply of food], ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will ration your bread; and you will eat and not be satisfied.


book: Lev

then I will act with hostility against you in wrath, and I also will punish you seven times for your sins.


book: Lev

I will destroy your high places [devoted to idolatrous worship], and cut down your incense altars, and heap your dead bodies upon the [crushed] bodies of your idols, and My soul will detest you [with deep and unutterable loathing].


book: Lev

I will lay waste your cities as well and will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell your sweet and soothing aromas [of offerings by fire].


book: Lev

I will scatter you among the nations and draw out the sword [of your enemies] after you; your land will become desolate and your cities will become ruins.


book: Lev

‘Then the land [of Israel] will enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.


book: Lev

As long as it lies desolate, it will have rest, the rest it did not have on your Sabbaths, while you were living on it.


book: Lev
contenido:
As for those who are left of you, I will bring despair (lack of courage, weakness) into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a scattered leaf will put them to flight, and they will flee as if [running] from the sword, and will fall even when no one is chasing them.


book: Lev
contenido:
They shall stumble over one another as if to escape from a sword when no one is chasing them; and you will have no power to stand before your enemies.


book: Lev
contenido:
Those of you who are left will rot away because of their wickedness in the lands of your enemies; also because of the wickedness of their forefathers they will rot away like them.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘If they confess their wickedness and the wickedness of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they have committed against Me—and also in their acting with hostility toward Me—


book: Lev
contenido:
I also was acting with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—then if their uncircumcised (sin-filled) hearts are humbled and they accept the punishment for their wickedness,


book: Lev
contenido:
then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham, and remember the land.


book: Lev
contenido:
But the land will be abandoned by them and will enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; and they will accept the punishment for their wickedness and make amends because they rejected My ordinances and their soul rejected My statutes.


book: Lev
contenido:
Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so despise them as to destroy them, breaking My covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God.


book: Lev
contenido:
But I will, for their sake, [earnestly] remember the covenant with their forefathers, whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the Lord.’”

These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws which the Lord established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses at Mount Sinai.


book: Lev

“Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘When a man makes a special vow [consecrating himself or a member of his family], he shall be valued according to your [established system of] valuation of people belonging to the Lord [that is, the priest accepts from the man making the vow a specified amount of money for the temple treasury in place of the actual person].


book: Lev
contenido:
If your valuation is of a male between twenty and sixty years of age, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.


book: Lev
contenido:
If the person is between five years and twenty years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if the child is between one month and five years of age, then your valuation shall be five shekels of silver for the male and three shekels for the female.


book: Lev
contenido:
If the person is sixty years old and above, your valuation shall be fifteen shekels for the male, and ten shekels for the female.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if the person is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall be placed before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘Now if it is an animal of the kind which men can present as an offering to the Lord, any such that one gives to the Lord shall be holy.


book: Lev
contenido:
He shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; but if he does exchange an animal for an animal, then both the original offering and its substitute shall be holy.


book: Lev
contenido:
If it is any unclean animal of the kind which men do not present as an offering to the Lord, then he shall bring the animal before the priest,


book: Lev
contenido:
‘If a man consecrates his house as sacred to the Lord, the priest shall appraise it as either good or bad; as the priest appraises it, so shall it stand.


book: Lev
contenido:
If the one who consecrates his house should wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may be his.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘And if a man consecrates to the Lord part of a field of his own property, then your valuation shall be proportionate to the seed needed for it; a homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.


book: Lev
contenido:
But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the price for him in proportion to the years that remain until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.


book: Lev
contenido:
If the one who consecrates the field should ever wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of the appraisal price to it, so that it may return to him.


book: Lev
contenido:
When the field reverts in the Jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field set apart (devoted); the priest shall possess it as his property.


book: Lev
contenido:
Or if a man consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not part of the field of his [ancestral] property,


book: Lev
contenido:
then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and the man shall give that [amount] on that day as a holy thing to the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was purchased, to whom the land belonged [as his ancestral inheritance].


book: Lev
contenido:
Every valuation of yours shall be in accordance with the sanctuary shekel; twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘However, the firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may consecrate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is [already] the Lord’s.


book: Lev
contenido:
If it is among the unclean animals, the owner may redeem it in accordance with your valuation, and add one-fifth to it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold in accordance with your valuation.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘But nothing that a man sets apart [that is, devotes as an offering] to the Lord out of all that he has, of man or of animal or of the fields of his own property, shall be sold or redeemed. Anything devoted to destruction (banned, cursed) is most holy to the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
No one who may have been set apart among men shall be ransomed [from death], he shall most certainly be put to death.


book: Lev
contenido:
‘And all the tithe (tenth part) of the land, whether the seed of the land or the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
For every tithe of the herd or flock, whatever passes under the [shepherd’s] staff, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord.


book: Lev
contenido:
The man is not to be concerned whether the animal is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it. But if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy; it shall not be redeemed.’”

book: Num

“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor shall you take their census among the sons of Israel [since they are unavailable to go to war].

But appoint the Levites over the tabernacle (sanctuary) of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings and all things that belong to it. They shall carry the tabernacle [when traveling] and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it and camp around it.


book: Num

When the tabernacle is to go forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to [be set up for] camp, the Levites shall set it up. But the layman (non-Levite) who approaches the tabernacle shall be put to death.


book: Num

The Israelites shall camp according to their armies, every man by his own camp and every man by his own [tribal] standard (banner).

These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom Aaron consecrated and ordained to minister in the priest’s office.


book: Num
contenido:
But Nadab and Abihu died in the presence of the Lord when they offered strange (unholy, unacceptable, inappropriate) fire before the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai; and they had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests in the presence and under the supervision of Aaron their father.


book: Num

They shall carry out the duties for him and for the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, doing the service of the tabernacle.


book: Num

They shall also take care of all the furnishings and utensils of the Tent of Meeting, and [attend to] the duties of the Israelites, doing the service of the tabernacle.


book: Num

You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons [as servants and helpers]; they are to be given wholly to him from among the Israelites.

So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall observe and attend to their priesthood; but the layman (non-Levite) who approaches [the holy things] shall be put to death.”


book: Num
contenido:
“Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of and as a substitute for every firstborn, that is, the first that opens the womb among the Israelites. So the Levites shall be Mine,

for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day that I killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated for Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine; I am the Lord.”

book: Num
contenido:
Now the appointed responsibilities of the sons of Merari involved the frames of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets or bases, and all the equipment, and all the service concerning them,


book: Num
contenido:
Now those to camp before the tabernacle toward the east, before the Tent of Meeting, toward the sunrise, were to be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, performing the duties of the sanctuary for whatever was required of the Israelites; and the layman (non-Levite) who approached [the sanctuary] was to be put to death.

“Take the Levites [for Me] instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle. And the Levites shall be Mine. I am the Lord.

you shall take five shekels apiece, per head, you shall take them in terms of the sanctuary shekel (the shekel is twenty gerahs),


book: Num

and give the money, the ransom (redemption price) of those who outnumber the Levites to Aaron and to his sons.”

book: Num

from the firstborn of the Israelites he took the money in terms of the sanctuary shekel, 1,365 shekels.

When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all its furniture, as the camp sets out, after all that [is done, but not before], the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them [using the poles], so that they do not touch the holy things, and die. These are the things in the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) which the sons of Kohath are to carry.


book: Num
contenido:
“The responsibility of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the continual grain offering, and the anointing oil—the responsibility of all the tabernacle and everything that is in it, with the sanctuary and its furnishings.”


book: Num
contenido:
“Do not cut off (eliminate, destroy) the tribe of the families of the Kohathites [who are only Levites and not priests], from among the Levites [by exposing them to the sin of touching the most holy things].


book: Num
contenido:
But deal with them in this way, so that they may live and not die when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and assign each of them to his [specific] work and to his load [to be carried on the march].


book: Num
contenido:
From thirty years and upward to fifty years old, you shall number them; all who enter for service to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.

This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in carrying [when on the march]:

they shall carry the tent curtains of the tabernacle, and the Tent of Meeting, its covering and the covering of porpoise skin (fine leather) that is on top of it, and the curtain for the doorway of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle),

and the hangings of the courtyard, and the curtain for the entrance of the gate of the courtyard which is around the tabernacle and the altar, and their tent ropes, and all the equipment for their service; and all that is to be done, they shall perform.

Aaron and his sons shall direct all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, all they have to carry and all they have to do. You shall assign to them as a duty all that they are to carry [on the march].

This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle); and their duties shall be under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron, the [high] priest.


book: Num

Duties of the Merarites “As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their families (clans), by their fathers’ households;


book: Num

from thirty years and upward to fifty years old, you shall number them, everyone who enters the service to do the work of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle).

This is what they are assigned to carry [on the march], according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the boards [for the framework] of the tabernacle and its bars and its pillars and its sockets or bases,

and the pillars around the courtyard with their sockets or bases and their pegs and their cords (tent ropes), with all their equipment and with all their [accessories for] service; and you shall assign each man by name the items he is to carry [on the march].

book: Num
contenido:
then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring as an offering for her, a tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall not pour oil on it nor put frankincense on it [the symbols of favor and joy], because it is a grain offering of jealousy, a memorial grain offering, a reminder of [the consequences of] wickedness.

Then the priest shall have her take an oath and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you and if you have not gone astray into uncleanness [while married], then be immune to this water of bitterness that brings a curse;

When he has made her drink the water, then it shall come about, that if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband, the curse water will go into her and cause bitterness and cause her abdomen to swell and her thigh to waste away, and the woman will become a curse among her people.

or when a spirit (sense, attitude) of jealousy and suspicion comes on a man and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall have the woman stand before the Lord, and the priest shall apply this law to her.

Then let them take a young bull and its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you shall take another young bull as a sin offering.


book: Num

You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle), and you shall also assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel,


book: Num

“Aaron shall present the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering from the Israelites, so that they may perform the service of the Lord.


book: Num

Then the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, then you are to offer the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for the Levites.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons and present them as a wave offering to the Lord.


book: Num

“Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the Israelites, and the Levites shall be Mine [in a very special sense].


book: Num
contenido:
Then after that the Levites may go in to serve the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle), but you shall cleanse them [first] and present them as a wave offering;


book: Num
contenido:
for they are wholly given to Me from among the Israelites. I have taken them for Myself instead of all who are born first, the firstborn of all the Israelites.


book: Num
contenido:
For all the firstborn among the Israelites are Mine, among the men and among the animals; on the day that I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified and set the Israelites apart for Myself.


book: Num
contenido:
I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the Israelites, to perform the service of the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) and to make atonement for them, so that there will be no plague among the Israelites if they should approach the sanctuary.”


book: Num
contenido:
Thus Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel did [these things] to the Levites; in accordance with all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the Israelites did to them.


book: Num
contenido:
The Levites, too, purified themselves from sin and they washed their clothes; and Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.


book: Num
contenido:
Then after that the Levites went in to perform their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron and his sons; just as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.


book: Num
contenido:
“This is what applies to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall enter to perform service in the work of the Tent of Meeting,


book: Num
contenido:
but at the age of fifty years, they shall retire from the service of the [tabernacle] work and serve no longer.


book: Num

They may assist their brothers in the Tent of Meeting to keep an obligation, but they shall do no [heavy or difficult] work. Thus you shall deal with the Levites concerning their obligations.”


book: Num

The Passover The Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,


book: Num

On the fourteenth day of this month at twilight, you shall keep it at its appointed time; according to all its statutes and ordinances you shall keep it.”


book: Num
contenido:
They observed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight in the Wilderness of Sinai; in accordance with all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the Israelites did.


book: Num
contenido:
But there were certain men who were [ceremonially] unclean because of [touching] the dead body of a man, so they could not observe the Passover on that day; so they came before Moses and Aaron that same day.


book: Num
contenido:
Those men said to Moses, “We are [ceremonially] unclean because of [touching] a dead body. Why are we being restrained from presenting the Lord’s offering at its appointed time among the Israelites?”


book: Num
contenido:
Therefore, Moses said to them, “Wait, and I will listen to what the Lord will command concerning you.”


book: Num
contenido:
“Say to the Israelites, ‘If any one of you or of your descendants becomes [ceremonially] unclean because of [touching] a dead body or is on a distant journey, he may, however, observe the Passover to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
On the fourteenth day of the second month [thirty days later] at twilight, they shall observe it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.


book: Num
contenido:
They shall leave none of it until morning nor break any of its bones; in accordance with all the statutes of the Passover they shall observe it.


book: Num
contenido:
But the man who is [ceremonially] clean and is not on a journey, and yet does not observe the Passover, that person shall be cut off from among his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them] because he did not bring the Lord’s offering at its appointed time; that man will bear [the penalty of] his sin.


book: Num
contenido:
If a stranger lives among you as a resident alien and observes the Passover to the Lord, in accordance with its statutes and its ordinances, so shall he do; you shall have one statute, both for the resident alien and for the native of the land.’”


book: Num
contenido:
The Cloud on the Tabernacle Now on the day that the tabernacle was erected, the cloud [of God’s presence] covered the tabernacle, that is, the tent of the Testimony; and in the evening it was over the tabernacle, appearing like [a pillar of] fire until the morning.


book: Num

Whenever the cloud was lifted from over the tent (tabernacle), afterward the Israelites would set out; and in the place where the cloud stopped, there the Israelites would camp.


book: Num
contenido:
At the Lord’s command the Israelites would journey on, and at His command they would camp. As long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle they remained camped.


book: Num
contenido:
Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites would keep their obligation to the Lord and not set out.


book: Num
contenido:
Sometimes the cloud remained only a few days over the tabernacle, and in accordance with the command of the Lord they remained camped. Then at His command they set out.


book: Num
contenido:
If sometimes the cloud remained [over the tabernacle] from evening only until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the morning, they would journey on; whether in the daytime or at night, whenever the cloud was lifted, they would set out.


book: Num
contenido:
Whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud [of the Lord’s presence] lingered over the tabernacle, staying above it, the Israelites remained camped and did not set out; but when it was lifted, they set out.


book: Num
contenido:
At the command of the Lord they camped, and at the command of the Lord they journeyed on; they kept their obligation to the Lord, in accordance with the command of the Lord through Moses.


book: Num
contenido:
“Make two trumpets of silver; you shall make them of hammered work. You shall use them to summon the congregation and to have the camps move out.


book: Num
contenido:
When both are blown, all the congregation [that is, all adult males] shall gather before you at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle).


book: Num
contenido:
However, if a single trumpet is blown, then the leaders, heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.


book: Num
contenido:
When you blow an alarm the second time, then the camps on the south side [of the tabernacle] shall set out. They shall blow an alarm whenever they are to move out [on their journeys].


book: Num
contenido:
When the assembly is to be gathered, you shall blow [the trumpets in short, sharp tones], but without sounding an alarm.


book: Num
contenido:
The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and the trumpets shall be for you a perpetual statute throughout your generations.


book: Num
contenido:
When you go to war in your land against the enemy that attacks you, then sound an alarm with the trumpets, so that you may be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.


book: Num
contenido:
Also in the day of rejoicing, and in your appointed feasts, and at the beginnings of your months, you shall sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifice of your peace offerings; and they shall be as a reminder of you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”

book: Num

But Hobab [Moses’ brother-in-law] said to him, “I will not go; I will return to my own land and to my family.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses said, “Please do not leave us, for you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us [as we make our trek through the desert].


book: Num

So if you will go with us, it shall be that whatever good the Lord does for us, we will do the same for you.”


book: Num

Whenever the ark set out, Moses said, “Rise up, O Lord! Let Your enemies be scattered; And let those who hate You flee before You.”


book: Num

The rabble among them [who followed Israel from Egypt] had greedy desires [for familiar and delicious food], and the Israelites wept again and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?


book: Num
contenido:
We remember the fish we ate freely and without cost in Egypt, the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.


book: Num
contenido:
But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing at all [in the way of food] to be seen but this manna.”


book: Num
contenido:
The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in mills or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes with it; and it tasted like cakes baked with fresh [olive] oil.


book: Num
contenido:
The Complaint of Moses Now Moses heard the people weeping [in self-pity] throughout their families, every man at the doorway of his tent; and the anger of the Lord blazed hotly, and Moses regarded their behavior as evil.


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You been so hard on Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have placed the burden of all these people on me?


book: Num
contenido:
Was it I who conceived all these people? Was it I who brought them forth, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your arms as a nurse carries the nursing infant, to the land which You swore to their fathers’?


book: Num
contenido:
Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep before me and say, ‘Give us meat, so that we may eat.’


book: Num
contenido:
So if this is the way You are going to deal with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in your sight, and do not let me see my wretchedness.”

Seventy Elders to Assist Accordingly, the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for Me seventy men from among the elders of Israel whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers; bring them to the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) and let them stand there with you.


book: Num
contenido:
Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take away some of the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not have to bear it all alone.


book: Num
contenido:
Say to the people, ‘Consecrate (separate as holy) yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept [in self-pity] in the ears of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For we were well-off in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat.


book: Num
contenido:
but a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and is disgusting to you—because you have rejected and despised the Lord who is among you, and have wept [in self-pity] before Him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’”


book: Num
contenido:
But Moses said, “The people, among whom I am, are 600,000 [fighting men] on foot [besides all the women and children]; yet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, so that they may eat it for a whole month!’


book: Num
contenido:
Should flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Or should all the fish of the sea be collected for them to be sufficient for them?”


book: Num
contenido:
The Lord said to Moses, “Is the Lord’s hand (ability, power) limited (short, inadequate)? You shall see now whether My word will come to pass for you or not.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses went out and spoke to the people the words of the Lord, and he gathered seventy men from among the elders of the people and stationed them around the Tent (tabernacle).


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took some of the Spirit who was upon Moses and put Him upon the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied [praising God and declaring His will], but they did not do it again.


book: Num
contenido:
But two men had remained in the camp; one named Eldad and the other named Medad. The Spirit rested upon them (now they were among those who had been registered, but had not gone out to the Tent), and they prophesied in the camp.


book: Num
contenido:
So a young man ran and told Moses and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying [extolling the praises of God and declaring His will] in the camp.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses from his youth, said, “My lord Moses, stop them!”


book: Num
contenido:
But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”


book: Num
contenido:
The Quail and the Plague Now there went forth a wind from the Lord and it brought quails from the sea, and let them fall [so they flew low] beside the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and on the other side, all around the camp, about two cubits (three feet) deep on the surface of the ground.


book: Num
contenido:
The people spent all that day and all night and all the next day and caught and gathered the quail (the one who gathered least gathered ten homers) and they spread them out for themselves around the camp [to cure them by drying].


book: Num
contenido:
While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord struck them with a very severe plague.


book: Num
contenido:
So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah (the graves of greediness), because there they buried the people who had been greedy [for more than the manna that God provided them].


book: Num
contenido:
The Murmuring of Miriam and Aaron Now Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a Cushite woman);


book: Num
contenido:
and they said, “Has the Lord really spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken also through us?” And the Lord heard it.


book: Num
contenido:
(Now the man Moses was very humble (gentle, kind, devoid of self-righteousness), more than any man who was on the face of the earth.)


book: Num
contenido:
Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle).” And the three of them came out.


book: Num
contenido:
The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tabernacle, and He called Aaron and Miriam, and they came forward.


book: Num
contenido:
And He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord will make Myself known to him in a vision And I will speak to him in a dream.


book: Num
contenido:
 “With him I speak mouth to mouth [directly], Clearly and openly and not in riddles; And he beholds the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?”


book: Num
contenido:
But when the cloud had withdrawn from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. And Aaron turned and looked at Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.


book: Num
contenido:
Then Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, I plead with you, do not account this sin to us, in which we have acted foolishly and in which we have sinned.


book: Num
contenido:
But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be shut up outside the camp for seven days, and afterward she may return.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Miriam was shut up outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was brought in again [and declared ceremonially clean from her leprosy].


book: Num
contenido:
“Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am going to give to the sons of Israel. From each of their fathers’ tribes you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses sent spies from the Wilderness of Paran at the command of the Lord, all of them men who were heads of the Israelites.


book: Num
contenido:
These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; but Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua (the Lord is salvation).


book: Num
contenido:
Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way into the Negev (the South country); then go up into the hill country.


book: Num
contenido:
and whether the land in which they live is good or bad, and whether the cities in which they live are [open] camps or fortifications,


book: Num
contenido:
and what the land is, whether it is fat (productive) or lean, whether there is timber on it or not. Make an effort to get some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.


book: Num
contenido:
So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin to Rehob [a town in Lebanon], at Lebo-hamath [in the far north].


book: Num
contenido:
When they had gone up into the Negev (the South country), they came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai the descendants of Anak were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)


book: Num
contenido:
Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol (cluster of grapes), and from there cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two of them, with some of pomegranates and the figs.


book: Num
contenido:
That place was called the Valley of Eshcol (cluster of grapes) because of the cluster of grapes which the sons of Israel cut down there.


book: Num
contenido:
they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh, and brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the land’s fruit.


book: Num
contenido:
They reported to Moses and said, “We went in to the land where you sent us; and it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.


book: Num
contenido:
But the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified (walled) and very large; moreover, we saw there the descendants of Anak [people of great stature and courage].


book: Num
contenido:
[The people descended from] Amalek live in the land of the Negev (South country); the Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the [Dead] Sea and along the side of the Jordan.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession of it; for we will certainly conquer it.”


book: Num
contenido:
But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people [of Canaan], for they are too strong for us.”


book: Num
contenido:
So they gave the Israelites a bad report about the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we went, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants. And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.


book: Num
contenido:
There we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”


book: Num
contenido:
The People Rebel Then all the congregation [of Israel] raised their voices and cried out, and the people wept that night.


book: Num
contenido:
All the Israelites murmured [in discontent] against Moses and Aaron; and the whole congregation said to them, “Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or that we had died in this wilderness!


book: Num
contenido:
Why is the Lord bringing us to this land [of Canaan], to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the Israelites.


book: Num
contenido:
Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes [as a sign of grief],


book: Num
contenido:
and they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “The land through which we passed as spies is an exceedingly good land.


book: Num
contenido:
If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.


book: Num
contenido:
Only do not rebel against the Lord; and do not fear the people of the land, for they will be our prey. Their protection has been removed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.”


book: Num
contenido:
But all the congregation said to stone Joshua and Caleb with stones. But the glory and brilliance of the Lord appeared at the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) before all the sons of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses Pleads for the People The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me disrespectfully and reject Me? And how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the [miraculous] signs which I have performed among them?


book: Num
contenido:
I will strike them with the pestilence (plague) and dispossess them, and will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they.”


book: Num
contenido:
But Moses said to the Lord, “Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought up these people from among them,


book: Num
contenido:
and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, Lord, are among these people [of Israel], that You, Lord, are seen face to face, while Your cloud stands over them; and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.


book: Num
contenido:
Now if You kill these people as one man, then the nations (Gentiles) that have heard of Your fame will say,


book: Num
contenido:
‘Because the Lord was not able to bring these people into the land which He promised to give them, therefore He slaughtered them in the wilderness.’


book: Num
contenido:
‘The Lord is slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving wickedness and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting (avenging) the wickedness and guilt of the fathers on the children, to the third and fourth generations [that is, calling the children to account for the sins of their fathers].’


book: Num
contenido:
Please pardon the wickedness and guilt of these people according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness, just as You have forgiven these people, from Egypt even until now.”


book: Num
contenido:
Surely all the men who have seen My glory and My [miraculous] signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice,


book: Num
contenido:
will by no means see the land which I swore to [give to] their fathers; nor will any who treated me disrespectfully and rejected Me see it.


book: Num
contenido:
But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land into which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it.


book: Num
contenido:
Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valley; tomorrow turn and set out for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea.”


book: Num
contenido:
“How long shall I put up with this evil congregation who murmur [in discontent] against Me? I have heard the complaints of the Israelites, which they are making against Me.


book: Num
contenido:
Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just what you have spoken in My hearing I will most certainly do to you;


book: Num
contenido:
your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness, even all who were numbered of you, your entire number from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me.


book: Num
contenido:
Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, not one of you shall enter the land in which I swore [an oath] to settle you.


book: Num
contenido:
But your children whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have despised and rejected.


book: Num
contenido:
Your sons shall be wanderers and shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness (spiritual infidelity), until your corpses are consumed in the wilderness.


book: Num
contenido:
According to the number of days in which you spied out the land [of Canaan], forty days, for each day, you shall bear and suffer a year for your sins and guilt, for forty years, and you shall know My displeasure [the revoking of My promise and My estrangement because of your sin].


book: Num
contenido:
I, the Lord, have spoken. I will most certainly do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed [by war, disease, and plagues], and here they shall die.’”


book: Num
contenido:
As for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who returned and made all the congregation murmur and complain against him by bringing back a bad report concerning the land,


book: Num
contenido:
even those [ten] men who brought back the very bad report of the land died by a plague before the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive out of those men who went to spy out the land.


book: Num
contenido:
They got up early in the morning and went up to the ridge of the hill country, saying, “Look, here we are; we have indeed sinned, but we will go up to the place which the Lord has promised.”


book: Num
contenido:
But Moses said, “Why then are you transgressing the commandment of the Lord, when it will not succeed?


book: Num
contenido:
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites will be there in front of you, and you will fall by the sword, because you have turned away from following the Lord; therefore the Lord will not be with you.”


book: Num
contenido:
But [in their arrogance] they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country; however, neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord nor Moses left the camp.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country came down and struck the Israelites and scattered them as far as Hormah.


book: Num
contenido:
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you come into the land where you are to live, which I am giving you,


book: Num
contenido:
then make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a special vow, or as a freewill offering or in your appointed feasts, to make a sweet and soothing aroma to the Lord, from the herd or from the flock.


book: Num
contenido:
The one who presents his offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil,


book: Num
contenido:
and you shall prepare wine for the drink offering, a fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.


book: Num
contenido:
Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil.


book: Num
contenido:
And for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine, as a sweet and soothing aroma to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice, in fulfilling a special vow or peace offering to the Lord,


book: Num
contenido:
then you shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;


book: Num
contenido:
and you shall bring as the drink offering one-half a hin of wine as an offering by fire, as a sweet and soothing aroma to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
‘Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the goats.


book: Num
contenido:
All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in presenting an offering by fire, as a sweet and soothing aroma to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
Law of the Stranger If a stranger lives as a resident alien with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and he wishes to make an offering by fire, as a sweet and soothing aroma to the Lord, just as you do, so shall he do.


book: Num
contenido:
As for the assembly, there shall be one [and the same] statute for you [of the congregation] and for the stranger who is a resident alien with you, a permanent statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
There is to be one law and one ordinance for you and for the stranger who lives with you as a resident alien.’”


book: Num
contenido:
then, when you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering (heave offering) to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall lift up a cake made of the first of your [ground grain which has been made into] dough as an offering [to the Lord]; as an offering from the threshing floor, so shall you lift it up.


book: Num
contenido:
From the first of your dough (ground grain) you shall give to the Lord an offering throughout your generations.


book: Num
contenido:
‘But when you unintentionally fail and do not observe all these commandments, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,


book: Num
contenido:
even all that the Lord has commanded you through Moses, from the day that the Lord gave commandments and onward throughout your generations,


book: Num
contenido:
then it shall be, if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet and soothing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat as a sin offering.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven, for it was an error and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their error.


book: Num
contenido:
So all the congregation of the Israelites will be forgiven as well as the stranger who lives among them as a resident alien, because all the people were involved in the error.


book: Num
contenido:
‘Also if one person sins unintentionally, then he shall offer a female goat one year old as a sin offering.


book: Num
contenido:
The priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the person who commits an error when he sins unintentionally, making atonement for him so that he may be forgiven.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall have one law for him who sins unintentionally, whether he is native-born among the Israelites or a stranger who is living among them as a resident alien.


book: Num
contenido:
But the person who does [anything wrong] willfully and defiantly, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one is blaspheming the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from among his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them].


book: Num
contenido:
Because he has despised and rejected the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; [the responsibility for] his wickedness and guilt will be upon him.’”


book: Num
contenido:
Sabbath-breaking Punished Now while the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man who was gathering wood on the Sabbath day.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man shall certainly be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.”


book: Num
contenido:
So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.


book: Num
contenido:
“Speak to the sons of Israel and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the hems of their garments throughout their generations, and put a cord of blue on the tassel of each hem.


book: Num
contenido:
It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, to do them, so that you do not follow after [the desires of] your own heart and eyes, [desires] after which you used to follow and play the prostitute,


book: Num
contenido:
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord your God.”


book: Num
contenido:
Korah’s Rebellion Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, descendants of Reuben, took action,


book: Num
contenido:
and they rose up [in rebellion] before Moses, together with some of the Israelites, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation chosen in the assembly, men of distinction.


book: Num
contenido:
They assembled together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “You have gone far enough, for all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?”


book: Num
contenido:
and he spoke to Korah and all his company, saying, “In the morning the Lord will show who belongs to Him, and who is holy, and will bring him near to Himself; the one whom He will choose He will bring near to Himself.


book: Num
contenido:
then put fire in them and place incense on them in the presence of the Lord tomorrow; and the man whom the Lord chooses shall be the one who is holy. You have gone far enough, you sons of Levi.”


book: Num
contenido:
does it seem but a small thing to you that the God of Israel has 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 to them;


book: Num
contenido:
and that He has brought you near [to Him], Korah and all your brothers, sons of Levi with you? Would you seek the priesthood also?


book: Num
contenido:
Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against the Lord; but as for Aaron, who is he that you murmur against him?”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said [defiantly], “We will not come up.


book: Num
contenido:
Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land [of plenty] flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness, but you would also lord it over us?


book: Num
contenido:
Indeed, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses became very angry and said to the Lord, “Pay no attention to their offering! I have not taken one donkey from them, nor have I harmed any one of them.”


book: Num
contenido:
Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company are to appear before the Lord tomorrow, both you and they along with Aaron.


book: Num
contenido:
Each of you take his censer and put incense on it, and each of you bring his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers; also you and Aaron shall each bring his censer.”


book: Num
contenido:
So they each took his own censer and put fire on it and laid incense on it; and they stood at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle), with Moses and Aaron.


book: Num
contenido:
Then Korah assembled all the congregation against Moses and Aaron at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle). And the glory and brilliance of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.


book: Num
contenido:
But they fell on their faces [before the Lord], and said, “O God, God of the spirits of all flesh! When one man sins, will You be angry with the entire congregation?”


book: Num
contenido:
And he said to the congregation, “Get away from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, or you will be swept away in all their sin.”


book: Num
contenido:
So they got back from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the doorway of their tents with their wives and their sons and their little children.


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses said, “By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works; for I do not act of my own accord.


book: Num
contenido:
If these men die the common death of all mankind or if what happens to everyone happens to them, then [you will know for sure that] the Lord has not sent me.


book: Num
contenido:
But if the Lord creates an entirely new thing, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up, along with all that belongs to them, and they descend alive into Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), then you will understand that these men have spurned and rejected the Lord!”


book: Num
contenido:
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, and all the men who supported Korah, with all their possessions.


book: Num
contenido:
So they and all that belonged to them went down alive to Sheol; and the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly.


book: Num
contenido:
All Israel who were around them fled at their outcry, for they said, “The earth may swallow us also.”


book: Num
contenido:
Fire also came forth from the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the incense.


book: Num
contenido:
“Tell Eleazar the son of Aaron, the priest, that he is to pick up the censers from the midst of the blaze for they are holy; and you scatter the burning coals abroad.


book: Num
contenido:
As for the censers of these people who have sinned at the cost of their lives, have the censers made into hammered sheets as a plating for the altar [of burnt offering], for they were presented before the Lord and they are sacred. They shall be a [warning] sign to the sons of Israel.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers which the Levites who were burned had offered, and they were hammered out [into broad sheets] as a plating for the [bronze] altar [of burnt offering],


book: Num
contenido:
as a reminder to the sons of Israel so that no layman—that is, one who is not of the descendants of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the Lord; so that he will not become like Korah and as his company—just as the Lord had said to him through Moses.


book: Num
contenido:
Murmuring and Plague But on the next day the entire congregation of the Israelites murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have caused the death of the people of the Lord.”


book: Num
contenido:
When the congregation was assembled against Moses and Aaron, they turned and looked at the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle), and behold, the cloud covered it and the glory and brilliance of the Lord appeared.


book: Num
contenido:
“Get away from among this congregation, so that I may consume them immediately.” Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces [in silence before the Lord].


book: Num
contenido:
Moses said to Aaron, “Take a censer and put fire in it from the altar and lay incense on it; then bring it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone forth from the Lord; the plague has begun!”


book: Num
contenido:
So Aaron took the burning censer as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and behold, the plague had [already] begun among the people; and he put on the incense and made atonement for the people.


book: Num
contenido:
Then Aaron returned to Moses at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle), for the plague had been brought to an end.


book: Num
contenido:
“Speak to the sons of Israel and get rods from them, a rod for each father’s household, from all their leaders according to their fathers’ households, twelve rods. Write every man’s name on his rod,


book: Num
contenido:
and write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi [his ancestor]; for there is one rod for the head of each of their fathers’ households.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall then deposit them in the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) in front of [the ark of] the Testimony, where I meet with you.

It shall be that the rod of the man whom I choose will bud, and I will no longer hear the constant grumblings of the Israelites, who are grumbling against you.”


book: Num

So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a rod, one for each leader according to their fathers’ households, twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.


book: Num
contenido:
Now on the next day Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony, and the rod of Aaron of the tribe of Levi had sprouted and put out buds and produced blossoms and yielded [ripe] almonds.


book: Num

Moses brought out all the rods from the presence of Lord to all the Israelites; and they looked, and each man took his rod.


book: Num

But the Lord said to Moses, “Put Aaron’s rod back before the Testimony [in the ark], to be kept as a [warning] sign for the rebellious and contentious, so that you may put an end to their murmurings [of discontent] against Me, so that they do not die.”


book: Num

Duties of Levites So the Lord said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s household (family) with you shall bear the guilt in connection with the sanctuary [that is, through your service as priests you will atone for the offenses which the people unknowingly commit when brought into contact with the manifestations of God’s presence]; and you and your sons with you shall bear the guilt in connection with your priesthood [that is, your own unintentional offenses].


book: Num
contenido:
But bring with you also your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father (ancestor), so that they may join with you and serve you [as assistants], while you and your sons with you are before the Tent of the Testimony [the Holy Place where only priests may go, and the Most Holy Place which only the high priest may enter].


book: Num
contenido:
And the Levites shall attend to your duty [as assistants] and to the duties of all the tent (tabernacle); only they shall not approach the articles of the sanctuary and the altar, or both they and you will die.


book: Num
contenido:
They shall join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting—all the service of the tent—and no stranger [no layman, anyone who is not a Levite] may approach you [and your sons].


book: Num
contenido:
So you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and the duties of the altar [of burnt offering and the altar of incense], so that there will no longer be wrath on the Israelites [as with Korah, Dathan, and Abiram].


book: Num
contenido:
Behold, I Myself have taken your fellow Levites from among the sons of Israel; they are a gift to you, given (dedicated) to the Lord, to do the service for the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle).


book: Num
contenido:
Therefore you and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar [of burnt offering and the altar of incense] and [of the Holy of Holies] within the veil, and you are to serve. I am giving you the priesthood as a bestowed service, but the stranger (outsider, layman) who approaches shall be put to death.”

The Priests’ Portion Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Now behold, I [the Lord] have entrusted you with My heave offerings, even all the holy gifts of the Israelites, I have given them to you as a portion, and to your sons as a continual allotment.


book: Num
contenido:
This shall be yours of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every offering of the people, every grain offering and sin offering and guilt offering, which they shall render (give) to Me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall eat it as the most holy thing; every male [of your family] shall eat it. It shall be holy to you.


book: Num
contenido:
This also is yours: the heave offering of their gift, including all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given them to you and to your sons and to your daughters with you as a continual allotment; everyone in your household who is [ceremonially] clean may eat it.


book: Num
contenido:
All the best of the fresh [olive] oil, and all the best of the new wine and of the grain, the first fruits of those which they give to the Lord, I give them to you.


book: Num
contenido:
The first ripe fruits of all that is in the land, which they bring to the Lord, shall be yours; everyone in your household who is [ceremonially] clean may eat it.


book: Num
contenido:
Every devoted thing in Israel [everything that has been promised to the Lord with an oath] shall be yours.


book: Num
contenido:
Every firstborn of the womb of all flesh, whether it is man or animal, which they bring to the Lord, shall be yours; nevertheless, the firstborn of man you shall most certainly redeem, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem.


book: Num
contenido:
And their redemption price, from a month old you shall redeem, according to your valuation, for the [fixed] price of five shekels in silver, in accordance with the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.


book: Num
contenido:
But the firstborn of a cow or of a sheep or of a goat you shall not redeem; they are holy [and belong to the Lord]. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and shall offer up their fat in smoke as an offering by fire, for a sweet and soothing aroma to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
All the offerings of the holy things, which the Israelites offer to the Lord I have given to you and to your sons and your daughters with you as a continual allotment. It is an everlasting covenant of salt [that cannot be dissolved or violated] before the Lord to you and to your descendants with you.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in the land [of the Israelites], nor have any portion [of land] among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
“Behold, I have given the Levites all the tithe in Israel as an inheritance, in return for their service which they perform, the service of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle).


book: Num
contenido:
The Israelites shall never again approach the Tent of Meeting [the covered sanctuary, the Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies], or they [who do] will incur sin and die.


book: Num
contenido:
Only the Levites shall perform the service of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle), and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, that the Levites shall have no inheritance [of land] among the children of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
But the tithe of the Israelites, which they present as an offering to the Lord, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I have said to them, ‘They shall have no inheritance among the children of Israel.’”


book: Num
contenido:
“Moreover, you shall speak to the Levites and say to them, ‘When you take from the Israelites the tithe which I have given to you from them as your inheritance, then you shall present an offering from it to the Lord, a tithe of the tithe [paid by the people].


book: Num
contenido:
Your offering shall be credited to you as the grain from the threshing floor or as the full produce from the wine vat.


book: Num
contenido:
Likewise you shall also present an offering to the Lord from all your tithes, which you receive from the Israelites; and from it you shall give the Lord’s offering to Aaron the priest.


book: Num
contenido:
Out of all your gifts, you shall present every offering due to the Lord, from all the best of it, even the sacred part from them.’


book: Num
contenido:
Therefore you shall say to them, ‘When you have offered the best from it, then the rest shall be credited to the Levites as the product of the threshing floor, and as the product of the wine vat.


book: Num
contenido:
You may eat it anywhere, you and [the members of] your households, for it is your compensation in return for your service in the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle).


book: Num
contenido:
You will bear no sin because of it when you have offered the best of it; but you shall not profane the sacred gifts of the children of Israel, or you will die [because of it].’”


book: Num
contenido:
“This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded: ‘Tell the Israelites to bring you an unblemished red heifer in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and it shall be brought outside the camp and be slaughtered in his presence.


book: Num
contenido:
Next Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle some of it toward the front of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) seven times.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight; its skin, its flesh, its blood, and its waste, shall be burned (reduced to ash).


book: Num
contenido:
The priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet [material] and cast them into the midst of the burning heifer.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the priest shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; and afterward come into the camp, but he shall be [ceremonially] unclean until evening.


book: Num
contenido:
The one who burns the heifer shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until evening.


book: Num
contenido:
Now a man who is [ceremonially] clean shall collect the ashes of the heifer and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and the congregation of the Israelites shall keep it for water to remove impurity; it is [to be used for] purification from sin.


book: Num
contenido:
The one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. This shall be a perpetual statute to the Israelites and to the stranger who lives as a resident alien among them.


book: Num
contenido:
That one shall purify himself from uncleanness with the water [made with the ashes of the burned heifer] on the third day and on the seventh day, and then he will be clean; but if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.


book: Num
contenido:
Whoever touches a corpse, the body of anyone who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from Israel [that is, excluded from the atonement made for them]. Because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.


book: Num
contenido:
‘This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is in the tent shall be [ceremonially] unclean for seven days.


book: Num
contenido:
Also, anyone in the open field who touches one who has been killed with a sword or who has died [of natural causes], or a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean for seven days.


book: Num
contenido:
Then for the unclean person they shall take some of the ashes of the heifer burnt for the purification from sin, and running water shall be added to them in a container.


book: Num
contenido:
A clean person shall take hyssop and dip it in the water and sprinkle it on the tent and on all the furnishings and on the people who were there, and on the one who touched the bone or the one who was killed or the one who died [naturally] or the grave.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the clean person shall sprinkle [the water for purification] on the unclean person on the third day and on the seventh day, and on the seventh day the unclean man shall purify himself, and wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and shall be [ceremonially] clean at evening.


book: Num
contenido:
‘But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord. The water for purification has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.


book: Num
contenido:
So it shall be a perpetual statute to them. He who sprinkles the water for impurity [on another] shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.


book: Num
contenido:
Furthermore, anything the unclean person touches shall be unclean, and anyone who touches it shall be [ceremonially] unclean until evening.’”


book: Num
contenido:
Death of Miriam Then the Israelites, the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month [in the fortieth year after leaving Egypt]. And the people lived in Kadesh. Miriam died there and was buried there.


book: Num
contenido:
The people contended with Moses, and said, “If only we had perished when our brothers perished [in the plague] before the Lord!


book: Num
contenido:
Why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness to die here, we and our livestock?


book: Num
contenido:
Why have you made us come up from Egypt, to bring us to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain or of figs or of vines or of pomegranates, and there is no water to drink.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) and fell on their faces [before the Lord in prayer]. Then the glory and brilliance of the Lord appeared to them;


book: Num
contenido:
The Water of Meribah “Take the rod; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the rock in front of them, so that it will pour out its water. In this way you shall bring water for them out of the rock and let the congregation and their livestock drink [fresh water].”


book: Num
contenido:
and Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock. Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels; must we bring you water out of this rock?”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses raised his hand [in anger] and with his rod he struck the rock twice [instead of speaking to the rock as the Lord had commanded]. And the water poured out abundantly, and the congregation and their livestock drank [fresh water].


book: Num
contenido:
But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you have not believed (trusted) Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, you therefore shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”


book: Num
contenido:
These are the waters of Meribah (contention, strife), where the sons of Israel contended with the Lord, and He showed Himself holy among them.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom: “Thus says your brother Israel, ‘You know all the hardship that has come upon us [as a nation];


book: Num

that our fathers (ancestors) went down to Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians treated [both] us and our fathers badly.


book: Num
contenido:
But when we cried out to the Lord [for help], He heard us and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.


book: Num
contenido:
Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through a field or through a vineyard; we will not even drink water from a well. We will go along the king’s highway, not turning [off-course] to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.’”


book: Num
contenido:
But [the king of] Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through my territory, or I will come out against you with the sword.”


book: Num
contenido:
Again, the Israelites said to him, “We will go by the highway [trade route], and if I and my livestock drink any of your water, then I will pay for it. Only let me pass through on foot, nothing else.”


book: Num
contenido:
But the king of Edom said, “You shall not pass through [my territory].” And Edom came out against Israel with many people and a strong hand.


book: Num
contenido:
Thus [the king of] Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory, so Israel turned away from him.


book: Num
contenido:
Death of Aaron Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,


book: Num
contenido:
“Aaron will be gathered to his people [in death]; for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you [both] rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.


book: Num
contenido:
and strip Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son. So Aaron will be gathered to his fathers, and will die there.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses did just as the Lord had commanded; and they went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.


book: Num
contenido:
After Moses stripped Aaron of his [priestly] garments and put them on Eleazar his son, Aaron died there on the mountain top. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.


book: Num

When all the congregation saw that Aaron had died, all the house of Israel wept (mourned) for him thirty days.


book: Num

Arad Conquered When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev (the South country) heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim [the route traveled by the spies sent out by Moses], he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.


book: Num
contenido:
So Israel made a vow to the Lord, and said, “If You will indeed hand over these people to me, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”


book: Num
contenido:
The Lord heard the voice of Israel and handed over the Canaanites; then they utterly destroyed them and their cities. So the name of the place was called Hormah (dedicate to destruction).


book: Num
contenido:
Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the [branch of the] Red Sea [called the Gulf of Aqabah], to go around the land of Edom; and the people became impatient, because [of the challenges] of the journey.


book: Num
contenido:
So the people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, nor is there any water, and we loathe this miserable food.”


book: Num
contenido:
The Bronze Serpent Then the Lord sent fiery (burning) serpents among the people; and they bit the people, and many Israelites died.


book: Num
contenido:
So the people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord, so that He will remove the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent [of bronze] and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten will live when he looks at it.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on the pole, and it happened that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived.


book: Num

They journeyed on from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness facing Moab, toward the sunrise.


book: Num
contenido:
From there they journeyed on and camped on the other side of [the river] Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the boundary of the Amorites; for [the river] Arnon is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.


book: Num
contenido:
That is why it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord: “Waheb in Suphah, And the wadis of the Arnon [River],


book: Num
contenido:
From there the Israelites went on to Beer, that is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together and I will give them water.”


book: Num
contenido:
 The well which the leaders dug, Which the nobles of the people hollowed out With the scepter and with their staffs.” And from the wilderness Israel journeyed to Mattanah,


book: Num

and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks down on the wasteland.


book: Num
contenido:
“Let me pass through your land; we will not turn away [from the road] into field or vineyard; we will not drink the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway until we have crossed your border.”


book: Num
contenido:
But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border. Instead Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and he fought against Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
Then Israel struck the king of the Amorites with the edge of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the Ammonites, for the boundary of the Ammonites was strong.


book: Num
contenido:
Israel took all these cities, and settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its towns.


book: Num
contenido:
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon.


book: Num
contenido:
That is why those who use proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and established.


book: Num
contenido:
 “For fire has gone out of Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon; It devoured Ar of Moab And the lords of the heights of the Arnon.


book: Num
contenido:
 “Woe (judgment is coming) to you, Moab! You are destroyed, O people of [the god] Chemosh! Moab has given his sons as fugitives [that is, survivors of battle], And his daughters into captivity To Sihon king of the Amorites.


book: Num
contenido:
 “We have shot them down [with arrows]; Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon, And we have laid them waste as far as Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”


book: Num

book: Num

But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have handed over him and all his people and his land to you; and you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”


book: Num
contenido:
So the sons of Israel killed Og and his sons and all his people, until there was no survivor left to him; and they took possession of his land.

Balak Sends for Balaam The Israelites journeyed, and camped in the plains of Moab, on the east side of the Jordan [River] across from Jericho.


book: Num

So Moab was terrified because of the people, for they were numerous. Moab was overcome with fear because of the sons of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now this horde will lick up all that is around us, just as the ox licks up the grass of the field.” And Balak the son of Zippor was the king of Moab at that time.


book: Num
contenido:
So he sent messengers to Balaam [a famous prophet-diviner] the son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the [Euphrates] River, in the land of the descendants of his people, to call for him, saying, “There is a people who have come out of Egypt; behold, they cover the surface of the land, and they are living opposite me.


book: Num
contenido:
Now please come, curse these people for me, for they are too powerful for me; perhaps I will be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. For I know [your reputation] that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”


book: Num
contenido:
So the elders of Moab and of Midian departed with fees for divination (foretelling) in hand; and they came to Balaam and told him the words of Balak.


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam said to them, “Spend the night here and I will bring word back to you as the Lord may speak to me.” So the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam [that night].


book: Num
contenido:
Hear this, the people who came out of Egypt cover the surface of the land; come now, curse them for me. Perhaps I may be able to fight against them and drive them out.’”


book: Num
contenido:
God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them; you shall not curse the people [of Israel], for they are blessed.”


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam got up in the morning, and said to the leaders of Balak, “Go back to your own land [of Moab], for the Lord has refused to let me go with you.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Balak again sent leaders, more numerous and [men who were] more distinguished than the first ones.


book: Num
contenido:
They came to Balaam, and said to him, “Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, ‘I beg you, let nothing hinder you from coming to me.


book: Num
contenido:
For I will give you a very great honor and I will do whatever you tell me; so please come, curse these people [of Israel] for me.’”


book: Num

Balaam answered the servants of Balak, “Even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything, either small or great, contrary to the command of the Lord my God.


book: Num

God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, get up and go with them, but you shall still do only what I tell you.”


book: Num

The Angel and Balaam But God’s anger was kindled because he was going, and the Angel of the Lord took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.


book: Num
contenido:
When the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way and His drawn sword in His hand, the donkey turned off the path and went into the field; but Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back toward the path.


book: Num
contenido:
But the Angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path of the vineyards, with a [stone] wall on this side and a [stone] wall on that side.


book: Num
contenido:
When the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she pressed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against it, and he struck her again.


book: Num
contenido:
The Angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left.


book: Num
contenido:
When the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam, so Balaam was angry and he struck the donkey [a third time] with his staff.


book: Num
contenido:
And the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you that you have struck me these three times?”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have made a mockery of me! If there had been a sword in my hand, I would have killed you by now!”


book: Num
contenido:
The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life until this day? Have I ever been accustomed to do so to you?” And he said, “No.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and lay himself face down.


book: Num
contenido:
The Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to stand against you, because your behavior was obstinate and contrary to Me.


book: Num
contenido:
The donkey saw Me and turned away from Me these three times. If she had not turned away from Me, I would have certainly killed you now, and let her live.”


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam said to the Angel of the Lord, “I have sinned, for I did not know that You were standing in the way against me. But now, if my going displeases You, I will turn back.”


book: Num
contenido:
The Angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but you shall speak only what I tell you.” So Balaam went along with the leaders of Balak.


book: Num
contenido:
When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the border at the Arnon [River], at the farthest end of the border.


book: Num
contenido:
Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not urgently send word to you to call you? Why did you not come to me [immediately]? Am I really unable to honor (pay) you?”


book: Num
contenido:
So Balaam said to Balak, “Indeed I have come to you now, but am I able to say anything at all? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I shall speak.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then it came about in the morning that Balak took Balaam and brought him up to the high places of Baal; from there he saw a portion of the Israelites.


book: Num

The Prophecies of Balaam Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams here.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stand beside your burnt offering and I will go. Perhaps the Lord will come to meet me; and whatever He shows me I will tell you.” So he went to a desolate hill.


book: Num
contenido:
Now God met Balaam, who said to Him, “I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered a bull and a ram on each altar.”


book: Num

Then the Lord put a speech in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and you shall speak thus.”


book: Num

Balaam returned to Balak, and behold, he was standing by his burnt sacrifice, he and all the leaders of Moab.


book: Num

Balaam took up his [first] discourse (oracle) and said: “Balak, the king of Moab, has brought me from Aram (Syria), from the mountains of the east, [saying,] ‘Come, curse [the descendants of] Jacob for me; And come, [violently] denounce Israel.’


book: Num
contenido:
 “How shall I curse those whom God has not cursed? Or how can I [violently] denounce those the Lord has not denounced?


book: Num
contenido:
 “For from the top of the rocks I see Israel, And from the hills I look at him. Behold, the people [of Israel] shall dwell alone And will not be reckoned among the nations.


book: Num
contenido:
 “Who can count the dust (the descendants) of Jacob And the number of even the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous [those who are upright and in right standing with God], And let my end be like his!”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but here you have [thoroughly] blessed them instead!”


book: Num
contenido:
Balak said to him, “Come with me, I implore you, to another place from where you can see them, although you will see only the nearest and not all of them; and curse them for me from there.”


book: Num
contenido:
So he took Balaam to the field of Zophim to the top of [Mount] Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam said to Balak, “Stand here beside your burnt offering while I go to meet the Lord over there.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord met Balaam and put a speech in his mouth, and said, “Go back to Balak and you shall speak thus.”


book: Num
contenido:
When Balaam returned to Balak, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab were with him. And Balak said to him, “What has the Lord spoken?”


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam took up his [second] discourse (oracle) and said: “Rise up, O Balak, and hear; Listen [closely] to me, son of Zippor.


book: Num

But if her husband says nothing to her [concerning the matter] from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all her pledges which are on her. He has confirmed them because he said nothing to her on the day he heard them.


book: Num
contenido:
But if he indeed nullifies them after he hears of them, then he shall be responsible for and bear her guilt [for breaking her promise].”

contenido:
The sons of Israel captured the women of Midian and their children; and all their cattle, all their livestock, and all their property they took as spoil [of war].


book: Num
contenido:
Then they brought the captives, the spoils, and the plunder to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the congregation of the Israelites at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan [River] across from Jericho.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the congregation went out to meet them outside the camp.


book: Num
contenido:
But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, who served in the war.


book: Num
contenido:
Look, these [are the women who] caused the Israelites, by the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and so a plague came among the congregation of the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
Camp outside the camp for seven days; whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any dead body, purify yourselves and your captives, on the third day and on the seventh day.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall purify every garment and every article made of leather and all the things made of goats’ hair, and every article made of wood.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to battle, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses:


book: Num
contenido:
everything that can stand fire, you shall pass through fire, and it shall be clean. Nevertheless, it shall also be purified with the water of purification [to remove its impurity]; and all that cannot stand fire [such as fabrics] you shall pass through water.


book: Num
contenido:
And you shall wash your clothes on the seventh day and be clean, and afterward you may come into the camp.”


book: Num
contenido:
“You and Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the fathers’ households of the congregation are to take a count of the spoil of war that was captured, both people and livestock.


book: Num
contenido:
Divide the spoil into two [equal] parts between those who were involved in the war, that is, those who went out to battle and all [the rest of] the congregation.


book: Num
contenido:
Levy a tax for the Lord from the warriors who went to battle, one in five hundred of the persons, the oxen, the donkeys, and the flocks.


book: Num
contenido:
Take this tribute from the warriors’ half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
From the Israelites’ half [of the spoil] you shall take one out of every fifty of the persons, the oxen, the donkeys, the flocks, and of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites who are in charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.”


book: Num
contenido:
Moses gave the levy which was the Lord’s offering to Eleazar the priest, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.


book: Num
contenido:
and from the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty, both of persons and animals, and gave them to the Levites, who were in charge of the tabernacle of the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, approached Moses,


book: Num
contenido:
and they said to him, “Your servants have counted the warriors under our command, and not one man of us is missing.


book: Num
contenido:
So we have brought as an offering to the Lord what each man obtained—articles of gold, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”


book: Num
contenido:
All the gold of the offering which they presented to the Lord from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds was 16,750 shekels.


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) as a memorial for the sons of Israel before the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
Reuben and Gad Settle in Gilead Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had very large herds of cattle, and they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead [on the east side of the Jordan River], and indeed, the place was suitable for raising livestock.


book: Num
contenido:
So the sons of Gad and of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,


book: Num
contenido:
the land which the Lord conquered before the congregation of Israel, is a land [suitable] for livestock, and your servants have [very large herds of] livestock.”


book: Num
contenido:
They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not take us across the Jordan [River].”


book: Num
contenido:
But Moses said to the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?


book: Num
contenido:
Now why are you discouraging the hearts of the Israelites from crossing over into the land which the Lord has given them?


book: Num
contenido:
For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the hearts of the Israelites so that they did not go into the land which the Lord had given them.


book: Num
contenido:
‘None of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not followed Me completely,


book: Num
contenido:
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed the Lord completely.’


book: Num
contenido:
So the Lord’s anger was kindled against the sons of Israel (Jacob) and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of the Lord was destroyed.


book: Num
contenido:
Now look, you [the tribes of Reuben and Gad] have risen up in your fathers’ place, a brood of sinful men, to add still more to the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
For if you turn back from following Him [completely], He will once again leave them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these people.”


book: Num
contenido:
But the people of Reuben and Gad approached Moses and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our flocks and [walled] cities for our children,


book: Num
contenido:
but we will be armed and ready to go to war before the [other tribes of the] Israelites, until we have brought them to their place, while our children live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.


book: Num
contenido:
We will not return to our homes until every one of the [other] sons of Israel has taken possession of his inheritance.


book: Num
contenido:
For we will not inherit with them on the west side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan [River] toward the east.”


book: Num
contenido:
and every armed man of yours will cross the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven out His enemies before Him,


book: Num
contenido:
and the land [west of the Jordan] is subdued before the Lord, then afterward you shall return and be blameless [in this matter] before the Lord and before Israel, and this land [east of the Jordan] shall be yours as a possession before the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
But if you do not do this, behold, you will have sinned against the Lord; and be sure that your sin will find you out.


book: Num
contenido:
Build yourselves cities for your children, and folds for your sheep, and do that of which you have spoken.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the descendants of Gad and of Reuben said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as my lord commands.


book: Num
contenido:
But your servants will cross over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to the battle, just as my lord says.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses gave the command concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the leaders of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the Israelites.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses said to them, “If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben will cross over the Jordan with you, every man armed for battle before the Lord, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead [east of the Jordan River] as a possession;


book: Num
contenido:
but if they will not cross over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan [and surrender their right to their land east of the Jordan River].”


book: Num
contenido:
The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, “As the Lord has said to your servants, so will we do.


book: Num
contenido:
We will cross over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, so that the possession of our inheritance on [the east] side of the Jordan may be ours.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses gave to them, to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, the king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land with its cities and territories, the cities of the surrounding land.


book: Num
contenido:
Nebo, and Baal-meon (their names being changed) and Sibmah; and they gave other names to the cities which they built.


book: Num
contenido:
The sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it, and drove out the Amorites who were in it.


book: Num
contenido:
[The sons of] Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns (tent villages) and called them Havvoth-jair.


book: Num
contenido:
Review of the Journey from Egypt to Jordan These are the stages of the journeys of the Israelites, by which they came out of the land of Egypt by their [tribal] armies, under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses recorded their points of departure, as the Lord commanded, stage by stage; and these are their journeys according to their points of departure:


book: Num
contenido:
They set out from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the Israelites moved out triumphantly in the sight of all the Egyptians,


book: Num
contenido:
while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn whom the Lord had struck down among them. Upon their gods the Lord also executed judgments.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Israelites moved out from Rameses [where they had all joined together], and camped in Succoth.


book: Num
contenido:
They moved out from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, east of Baal-zephon, and they camped before Migdol.


book: Num
contenido:
They moved out from before Pi-hahiroth and passed through the midst of the [Red] Sea into the wilderness; and they went a three days’ journey in the Wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah.


book: Num
contenido:
They moved out from Marah and came to Elim; in Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there.


book: Num
contenido:
They moved out from Alush and camped at Rephidim; now it was there that the people had no water to drink.


book: Num
contenido:
They moved out from Rephidim and camped in the Wilderness of Sinai [where they remained for about a year].


book: Num
contenido:
They moved out from Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah [near Kadesh, the place from which the twelve spies were sent to spy out the land of Canaan].


book: Num
contenido:
Aaron the priest went up on Mount Hor at the command of the Lord, and died there in the fortieth year after the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month.


book: Num
contenido:
The Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev (the South country) in the land of Canaan, heard that the sons of Israel were coming.


book: Num
contenido:
They moved out from the mountains of Abarim and camped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho [their last stop on the journey to Canaan].


book: Num
contenido:
Law of Possessing the Land Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, saying,


book: Num
contenido:
then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you and destroy all their sculpted images, and destroy all their cast idols and completely eliminate all their [idolatrous] high places,


book: Num
contenido:
and you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the large tribe you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the small tribe you shall give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be [the location of] his [inheritance]. According to the tribes of your fathers (ancestors) you shall inherit.


book: Num
contenido:
But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those you let remain of them will be like pricks in your eyes and like thorns in your sides, and they will attack you in the land in which you live.


book: Num
contenido:
“Command the Israelites, ‘When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall be yours as an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its boundaries,


book: Num
contenido:
your southern region shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern boundary from the end of the Salt (Dead) Sea eastward.


book: Num
contenido:
Your boundary shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and continue on to Zin, and its limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it shall go on to Hazar-addar and pass on to Azmon.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt (Wadi el-arish), and its limit shall be at the [Mediterranean] Sea.


book: Num
contenido:
‘As the western boundary you shall have the Great [Mediterranean] Sea and its coastline. This shall be your western boundary.


book: Num
contenido:
‘And this shall be your north border: from the Great [Mediterranean] Sea mark out your boundary line to Mount Hor;


book: Num
contenido:
from Mount Hor you shall mark out your boundary to the entrance of Hamath, and the limit of the border shall be at Zedad;


book: Num
contenido:
then the [northern] boundary shall go on to Ziphron, and its limit shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern boundary.


book: Num
contenido:
the [eastern] boundary shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and shall descend and reach to the slope on the east of the Sea of Chinnereth [the Sea of Galilee];


book: Num
contenido:
and the [eastern] boundary shall go down to the Jordan [River], and its limit shall be at the Salt (Dead) Sea. This shall be your land according to its boundaries all around.’”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses commanded the Israelites, saying, “This is the land you are to inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe [of Manasseh],


book: Num
contenido:
for the tribe of the sons of Reuben and the tribe of the sons of Gad have received their inheritance by their fathers’ households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession.


book: Num
contenido:
The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan [River] opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrise.”


book: Num
contenido:
“These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.


book: Num
contenido:
These are the [twelve] men whom the Lord commanded [to work with Joshua and Eleazar] to divide the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.


book: Num
contenido:
Cities for the Levites Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [across from] Jericho, saying,


book: Num
contenido:
“Command the Israelites to give to the Levites cities to live in from the inheritance of their possession; and you shall give to the Levites pasture lands around the cities.


book: Num
contenido:
The cities shall be theirs to live in; and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle and for their herds and for all their livestock.


book: Num
contenido:
“The pasture lands around the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits (1,500 ft.) around.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall also measure outside the city on the east, south, west, and north sides two thousand cubits (3,000 ft.), with the city in the center. This shall belong to the Levites as pasture lands for the cities.


book: Num
contenido:
Cities of Refuge [Among] the cities which you give to the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall provide for the one who commits manslaughter to flee to; and in addition to them you shall give forty-two cities [to the Levites].


book: Num
contenido:
As for the cities which you shall give from the possession of the Israelites, from the larger tribes you shall take many and from the smaller tribes few; each tribe shall give [at least some] of its cities to the Levites in proportion to [the size of] its inheritance which it possesses.”


book: Num
contenido:
then you shall select for yourselves cities to be cities of refuge, so that the one who kills any person unintentionally may escape there.


book: Num
contenido:
The cities shall be to you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the one who has caused the death of another will not be killed until he has had a [fair] trial before the congregation.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall provide three cities on this [east] side of the Jordan [River], and three [more] cities in the land of Canaan; they are to be the cities of refuge.


book: Num
contenido:
These six cities shall be a refuge for the Israelites and for the stranger and the resident alien among them; so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may escape there.


book: Num
contenido:
‘But if he struck his victim down [intentionally] with an iron object so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall certainly be put to death.


book: Num
contenido:
If he struck his victim down [intentionally] with a stone in hand, which may cause a person to die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall certainly be put to death.


book: Num
contenido:
Or if he struck his victim down [intentionally] with a wooden object in hand, which may cause a person to die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall certainly be put to death.


book: Num
contenido:
The blood avenger shall himself put the murderer to death; he shall put him to death when he meets him.


book: Num
contenido:
But if he pushed his victim out of hatred or threw something at him with malicious intent, and he died,


book: Num
contenido:
or if, in enmity, he struck the victim down with his hand, and he died, the one that struck the victim shall certainly be put to death; he is a murderer. The blood avenger shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.


book: Num
contenido:
‘But if he pushed the victim suddenly, not in enmity, or threw anything at him without malicious intent,


book: Num
contenido:
or without seeing him hit him [accidentally] with a stone object that could kill him, and he died, and [the offender] was not his enemy nor intending to harm him,


book: Num
contenido:
then the congregation shall judge between the offender and the blood avenger according to these ordinances.


book: Num
contenido:
The congregation shall rescue the offender from the hand of the blood avenger and return him to his city of refuge, [the place] to which he had escaped; and he shall live there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the sacred oil.


book: Num
contenido:
But if at any time the one guilty of manslaughter comes outside the border of his city of refuge to which he fled,


book: Num
contenido:
and the blood avenger finds him outside the border of his city of refuge and kills the offender, the blood avenger will not be guilty of murder,


book: Num
contenido:
because the offender should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the high priest’s death the offender shall return to the land of his possession.


book: Num
contenido:
‘If anyone kills a person [intentionally], the murderer shall be put to death on the testimony of [two or more] witnesses; but no one shall be put to death on the testimony of [only] one witness.


book: Num
contenido:
Moreover, you shall not accept a ransom [in exchange] for the life of a murderer guilty and sentenced to death; but he shall certainly be put to death.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall not accept a ransom for him who has escaped to his city of refuge, so that he may return to live in his [own] land before the death of the high priest.


book: Num
contenido:
So you shall not pollute and defile the land in which you live; for [the shedding of innocent] blood pollutes and defiles the land. No atonement (expiation) can be made for the land for the [innocent] blood shed in it, except by the blood (execution) of him who shed it.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I live, for I, the Lord, live among the people of Israel.’”


book: Num
contenido:
Inheritance by Marriage The leaders of the fathers’ households of the family of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, approached and spoke before Moses and before the leaders, the heads of the fathers’ households of the Israelites,


book: Num
contenido:
and they said, “The Lord commanded my lord [Moses] to give the land by lot to the sons of Israel as an inheritance, and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.


book: Num
contenido:
But if the daughters marry any of the men from any of the other tribes of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from that of our fathers (tribal ancestors) and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; so it will be taken away from our allotted inheritance.


book: Num
contenido:
When the [year of] Jubilee of the Israelites comes, then their inheritance will be added [permanently] to that of the tribe to which they belong; so their inheritance will be taken away from that of the tribe of our fathers (tribal ancestors).”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses commanded the Israelites in accordance with the word of the Lord, saying, “The statement of the tribe of the sons of Joseph is correct.


book: Num
contenido:
This is what the Lord commands regarding the daughters of Zelophehad: ‘Let them marry whom they wish; only they must marry within the family of the tribe of their father.’


book: Num
contenido:
So no inheritance of the Israelites shall be transferred from tribe to tribe, for every one of the Israelites shall hold to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers (tribal ancestors).


book: Num
contenido:
Every daughter who possesses an inheritance [of land] in any one of the tribes of the Israelites shall marry [only] a man whose family is of her father’s tribe, so that the Israelites may each possess the inheritance of his fathers (tribal ancestors).


book: Num
contenido:
So no inheritance shall be transferred from one tribe to another, but each of the tribes of the Israelites shall hold to its own inheritance.”


book: Num
contenido:
For Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to sons of their father’s brothers.


book: Num
contenido:
They married into the families of the descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.


book: Num
contenido:
These are the commandments and the ordinances (judgments) which the Lord commanded through Moses to the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [across from] Jericho.


book: Deut

Israel’s History after the Exodus These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel [while they were still] beyond [that is, on the east side of] the Jordan [River] in the wilderness [across from Jerusalem], in the Arabah [the long, deep valley running north and south from the eastern arm of the Red Sea to beyond the Dead Sea] opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Dizahab (place of gold).


book: Deut
contenido:
It is [only] eleven days’ journey from Horeb (Mount Sinai) by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea [on Canaan’s border; yet Israel wandered in the wilderness for forty years before crossing the border and entering Canaan, the promised land].


book: Deut
contenido:
In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel in accordance with all that the Lord had commanded him to say to them,


book: Deut
contenido:
after he had defeated Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived at Ashtaroth in Edrei.


book: Deut
contenido:
Turn and resume your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the lowland (the Shephelah), in the Negev (South country) and on the coast of the [Mediterranean] Sea, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.


book: Deut
contenido:
Look, I have set the land before you; go in and take possession of the land which the Lord swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their descendants after them.’


book: Deut
contenido:
May the Lord, the God of your fathers, add to you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, just as He has promised you!


book: Deut
contenido:
How can I alone bear the weight and pressure and burden of you and your strife (contention) and complaining?


book: Deut
contenido:
Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, experienced, and respected men from your tribes, and I will appoint them as heads (leaders) over you.’


book: Deut
contenido:
So I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and experienced men, and made them leaders over you, commanders of thousands, and hundreds, and fifties, and tens, and officers (administrators) for your tribes.


book: Deut
contenido:
“Then I commanded your judges at that time, saying, ‘Hear the matters between your brothers [your fellow countrymen], and judge righteously and fairly between a man and his brother, or the stranger (resident alien, foreigner) who is with him.


book: Deut
contenido:
You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear and pay attention to the [cases of the] least [important] as well as the great. You shall not fear man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you [to judge], you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.’


book: Deut
contenido:
“Then we set out from Horeb (Sinai), and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw on the way to the hill country of the Amorites, just as the Lord our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.


book: Deut
contenido:
And I said to you, ‘You have come to the hill country of the Amorites which the Lord our God is about to give us.


book: Deut
contenido:
Behold, the Lord your God has set the land before you; go up and take possession of it, just as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you. Do not fear or be dismayed.’


book: Deut
contenido:
“Then all of you approached me and said, ‘Let us send men [into the land] before us, so that they may explore and search the area for us, and bring back to us word regarding the way we should go, and the cities we should enter.’


book: Deut
contenido:
Then they took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us; and they reported back to us, and said, ‘It is a good land which the Lord our God is about to give us.’


book: Deut
contenido:
“Yet you were not willing to go up [to take possession of it], but rebelled against the command of the Lord your God.


book: Deut
contenido:
You murmured and were ill-tempered (discontented) in your tents, and said, ‘Because the Lord hates us He has brought us from the land of Egypt to hand us over to the Amorites to destroy us.


book: Deut
contenido:
Where can we go up? Our brothers (spies) have made our hearts melt [in fear] and demoralized us by saying, “The people are bigger and taller than we; the cities are large, and fortified [all the way up] to heaven. And besides, we saw the [giant-like] sons of the Anakim there.”’


book: Deut
contenido:
The Lord your God who goes before you will fight for you Himself, just as He did for you in Egypt before your [very] eyes,


book: Deut
contenido:
and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried and protected you, just as a man carries his son, all along the way which you traveled until you arrived at this place.’


book: Deut
contenido:
Yet in spite of this word, you did not trust [that is, confidently rely on and believe] the Lord your God,


book: Deut
contenido:
who went before you along the way, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to seek a place for you to make camp and to show you the way in which you should go.


book: Deut
contenido:
‘Not one of these men, this evil generation, shall see the good land which I swore (solemnly promised) to give to your fathers,


book: Deut
contenido:
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him and to his children I will give the land on which he has walked, because he has followed the Lord completely [and remained true to Him].’


book: Deut
contenido:
Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall enter there. Encourage and strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.


book: Deut
contenido:
Moreover, your little ones whom you said would become prey, and your sons, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, shall enter Canaan, and I will give it to them and they shall possess it.


book: Deut
contenido:
“Then you answered and said to me, ‘We have sinned against the Lord. We will go up and fight, just as the Lord our God has commanded us.’ So you equipped every man with weapons of war, and regarded it as easy to go up into the hill country.


book: Deut
contenido:
But the Lord said to me, ‘Say to them, “Do not go up and do not fight, for I am not among you [because of your rebellion]; otherwise you will be [badly] defeated by your enemies.”’


book: Deut
contenido:
So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. Instead you rebelled against the command of the Lord, and acted presumptuously and went up into the hill country.


book: Deut
contenido:
Then the Amorites who lived in that hill country came out against you and chased you as bees do, and struck you down in Seir as far as Hormah.


book: Deut
contenido:
And you returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord would not listen to your voice nor pay attention to you.


book: Deut
contenido:
Wanderings in the Wilderness “Then we turned and set out for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, just as the Lord had told me; and we circled Mount Seir for many days.


book: Deut

and command the people, saying, “You are passing through the territory of your brothers the sons of Esau (the Edomites), who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. So be very careful;


book: Deut
contenido:
do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even as little as a footstep, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.


book: Deut
contenido:
You shall buy food from them with money so that you may [have something to] eat, and you shall also buy water from them with money so that you may [have something to] drink.
