Complaining in the Desert
And the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes; and when the Lord heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some outlying parts of the camp.

We remember the fish we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;

book: Num

Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of the Lord blazed hotly, and Moses was displeased.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses said to the Lord, “Why hast thou dealt ill with thy servant? And why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou dost lay the burden of all this people upon me?


book: Num

Did I conceive all this people? Did I bring them forth, that thou shouldst say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries the sucking child,’ to the land which thou didst swear to give their fathers?


book: Num

Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me and say, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’


book: Num

If thou wilt deal thus with me, kill me at once, if I find favor in thy sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.”

The Seventy Elders
And the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you.


book: Num

The Quails
And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and it brought quails from the sea, and let them fall beside the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.

Aaron and Miriam Jealous of Moses
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman;


book: Num

and they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it.


book: Num

And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” And the three of them came out.


book: Num

And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.


book: Num

And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision, I speak with him in a dream.


book: Num
contenido:
With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in dark speech; and he beholds the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”


book: Num

and when the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. And Aaron turned towards Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.


book: Num

And Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, do not punish us because we have done foolishly and have sinned.

book: Num

book: Num

“Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the people of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers shall you send a man, every one a leader among them.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran, according to the command of the Lord, all of them men who were heads of the people of Israel.


book: Num

These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshe′a the son of Nun Joshua.


book: Num

Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up into the Negeb yonder, and go up into the hill country,


book: Num
contenido:
and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many,


book: Num
contenido:
and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds,


book: Num
contenido:
and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there is wood in it or not. Be of good courage, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.


book: Num
contenido:
So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near the entrance of Hamath.


book: Num
contenido:
They went up into the Negeb, and came to Hebron; and Ahi′man, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Hebron was built seven years before Zo′an in Egypt.)


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


book: Num
contenido:
That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down from there.


book: Num
contenido:
And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.


book: Num
contenido:
And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us; it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.


book: Num
contenido:
Yet the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there.


book: Num

The Amal′ekites dwell in the land of the Negeb; the Hittites, the Jeb′usites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan.”


book: Num

But Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once, and occupy it; for we are well able to overcome it.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.”


book: Num
contenido:
So they brought to the people of Israel an evil report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy 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:
And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim); and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”


book: Num
contenido:
And all the people of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron; the whole congregation said to them, “Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would that we had died in this wilderness!


book: Num
contenido:
Why does the Lord bring us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey; would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”


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


book: Num
contenido:
And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephun′neh, who were among those who had spied out the land, rent their clothes,


book: Num
contenido:
and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.


book: Num
contenido:
If the Lord delights in us, 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 are bread for us; their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.”


book: Num
contenido:
But all the congregation said to stone them with stones.
Then the glory of the Lord appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs which I have wrought among them?


book: Num
contenido:
I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”

Moses Intercedes for the People
But Moses said to the Lord, “Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for thou didst bring up this people in thy might from among them,


book: Num
contenido:
and they will tell the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that thou, O Lord, art in the midst of this people; for thou, O Lord, art seen face to face, and thy cloud stands over them and thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.


book: Num

‘Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to give to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’


book: Num
contenido:
‘The Lord is slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.’


book: Num
contenido:
Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray thee, according to the greatness of thy steadfast love, and according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”


book: Num
contenido:
none of the men who have seen my glory and my signs which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have put me to the proof these ten times and have not hearkened to my voice,


book: Num
contenido:
shall see the land which I swore to give to their fathers; and none of those who despised me shall 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 went, and his descendants shall possess it.


book: Num
contenido:
Now, since the Amal′ekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valleys, turn tomorrow and set out for the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”


book: Num
contenido:
“How long shall this wicked congregation murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the people of Israel, which they murmur against me.


book: Num
contenido:
your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and of all your number, numbered from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,


book: Num
contenido:
not one shall come into the land where I swore that I would make you dwell, except Caleb the son of Jephun′neh and Joshua the son of Nun.


book: Num
contenido:
But your little ones, who you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised.


book: Num
contenido:
And your children shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years, and shall suffer for your faithlessness, until the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness.


book: Num
contenido:
According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for every day a year, you shall bear your iniquity, forty years, and you shall know my displeasure.’


book: Num
contenido:
I, the Lord, have spoken; surely this will I do to all this wicked congregation that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall come to a full end, and there they shall die.”


book: Num
contenido:
And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land,


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


book: Num
contenido:
And they rose early in the morning, and went up to the heights of the hill country, saying, “See, we are here, we will go up to the place which the Lord has promised; for we have sinned.”


book: Num
contenido:
For there the Amal′ekites and the Canaanites are before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have turned back from following the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.”


book: Num
contenido:
But they presumed to go up to the heights of the hill country, although neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord, nor Moses, departed out of the camp.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Amal′ekites and the Canaanites who dwelt in that hill country came down, and defeated them and pursued them, even to Hormah.


book: Num

and you offer to the Lord from the herd or from the flock an offering by fire or a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfil a vow or as a freewill offering or at your appointed feasts, to make a pleasing odor to the Lord,


book: Num

then he who brings his offering shall offer to the Lord a cereal offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil;


book: Num

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


book: Num

Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a cereal offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil;


book: Num
contenido:
And when you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to fulfil a vow, or for peace offerings to the Lord,


book: Num
contenido:
then one shall offer with the bull a cereal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with half a hin of oil,


book: Num
contenido:
and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, as an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
All who are native shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
And if a stranger is sojourning with you, or any one is among you throughout your generations, and he wishes to offer an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the Lord, he shall do as you do.


book: Num
contenido:
For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a perpetual statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the sojourner be before the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
Of the first of your coarse meal you shall present a cake as an offering; as an offering from the threshing floor, so shall you present it.


book: Num
contenido:
Of the first of your coarse meal you shall give to the Lord an offering throughout your generations.


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


book: Num
contenido:
then if it was done unwittingly without the knowledge of the congregation, all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, a pleasing odor to the Lord, with its cereal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.


book: Num
contenido:
And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the people of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; because 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:
And all the congregation of the people of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who sojourns among them, because the whole population was involved in the error.


book: Num

And the priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the person who commits an error, when he sins unwittingly, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native among the people of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them.


book: Num

But the person who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native or a sojourner, reviles the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from among his people.


book: Num

Because he has despised the word of the Lord, and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.”

Penalty for Violating the Sabbath
While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.


book: Num
contenido:
And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.


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


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


book: Num

“Speak to the people of Israel, and bid them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put upon the tassel of each corner a cord of blue;

Revolt of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram
Now Korah the son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, and Dathan and Abi′ram the sons of Eli′ab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben,


book: Num
contenido:
took men; and they rose up before Moses, with a number of the people of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, chosen from the assembly, well-known men;


book: Num
contenido:
and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, “You have gone too far! 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 said to Korah and all his company, “In the morning the Lord will show who is his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him; him whom he will choose he will cause to come near to him.


book: Num
contenido:
put fire in them and put incense upon them before the Lord tomorrow, and the man whom the Lord chooses shall be the holy one. You have gone too far, sons of Levi!”


book: Num
contenido:
is it too small a thing for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do service in 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 him, and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you? And would you seek the priesthood also?


book: Num
contenido:
Therefore it is against the Lord that you and all your company have gathered together; what is Aaron that you murmur against him?”


book: Num
contenido:
Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you must also make yourself a prince over us?


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


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses was very angry, and said to the Lord, “Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one ass from them, and I have not harmed one of them.”


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses said to Korah, “Be present, you and all your company, before the Lord, you and they, and Aaron, tomorrow;


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


book: Num
contenido:
So every man took his censer, and they put fire in them and laid incense upon them, and they stood at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.


book: Num
contenido:
Then Korah assembled all the congregation against them at the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.


book: Num
contenido:
And they fell on their faces, and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be angry with all the congregation?”


book: Num
contenido:
And he said to the congregation, “Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be swept away with all their sins.”


book: Num
contenido:
So they got away from about the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abi′ram; and Dathan and Abi′ram came out and stood at the door of their tents, together with their wives, their sons, and their little ones.


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses said, “Hereby you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, and that it has not been of my own accord.


book: Num
contenido:
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they are visited by the fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.


book: Num
contenido:
But if the Lord creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up, with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the Lord.”


book: Num
contenido:
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men that belonged to Korah and all their goods.


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


book: Num
contenido:
And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!”


book: Num
contenido:
“Tell Elea′zar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers out of the blaze; then scatter the fire far and wide. For they are holy,


book: Num
contenido:
the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives; so let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, for they offered them before the Lord; therefore they are holy. Thus they shall be a sign to the people of Israel.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Elea′zar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burned had offered; and they were hammered out as a covering for the altar,


book: Num
contenido:
to be a reminder to the people of Israel, so that no one who is not a priest, who is not of the decendants of Aaron, should draw near to burn incense before the Lord, lest he become as Korah and as his company—as the Lord said to Elea′zar through Moses.


book: Num
contenido:
But on the morrow all the congregation of the people of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of the Lord.”


book: Num
contenido:
And when the congregation had assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they turned toward the tent of meeting; and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.


book: Num
contenido:
“Get away from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.” And they fell on their faces.


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense on it, and carry 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 it as Moses said, 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:
Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died in the affair of Korah.


book: Num

“Speak to the people of Israel, and get from them rods, one for each fathers’ house, from all their leaders according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. Write each man’s name upon his rod,

and write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi. For there shall be one rod for the head of each fathers’ house.


book: Num

And the rod of the man whom I choose shall sprout; thus I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the people of Israel, which they murmur against you.”


book: Num

Moses spoke to the people of Israel; and all their leaders gave him rods, one for each leader, according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.


book: Num
contenido:
And on the morrow Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds.


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the people of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod.


book: Num
contenido:
And the Lord said to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebels, that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, lest they die.”


book: Num

Every one who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the Lord, shall die. Are we all to perish?”

Responsibility of Priests and Levites
So the Lord said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your fathers’ house with you shall bear iniquity in connection with the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear iniquity in connection with your priesthood.


book: Num

And with you bring your brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you, and minister to you while you and your sons with you are before the tent of the testimony.


book: Num
contenido:
They shall attend you and attend to all duties of the tent; but shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary or to the altar, lest they, and you, die.


book: Num
contenido:
They shall join you, and attend to the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; and no one else shall come near you.


book: Num
contenido:
And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and the duties of the altar, that there be wrath no more upon the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
And behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the people of Israel; they are a gift to you, given to the Lord, to do the service of the tent of meeting.


book: Num

And you and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for all that concerns the altar and that is within the veil; and you shall serve. I give your priesthood as a gift, and any one else who comes near shall be put to death.”

Then the Lord said to Aaron, “And behold, I have given you whatever is kept of the offerings made to me, all the consecrated things of the people of Israel; I have given them to you as a portion, and to your sons as a perpetual due.


book: Num
contenido:
This shall be yours of the most holy things, reserved from the fire; every offering of theirs, every cereal offering of theirs and every sin offering of theirs and every guilt offering of theirs, which they render to me, shall be most holy to you and to your sons.


book: Num
contenido:
This also is yours, the offering of their gift, all the wave offerings of the people of Israel; I have given them to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due; every one who is clean in your house may eat of it.


book: Num
contenido:
All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine and of the grain, the first fruits of what they give to the Lord, I give to you.


book: Num
contenido:
The first ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the Lord, shall be yours; every one who is clean in your house may eat of it.


book: Num
contenido:
Everything that opens the womb of all flesh, whether man or beast, which they offer to the Lord, shall be yours; nevertheless the first-born of man you shall redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts you shall redeem.


book: Num
contenido:
And their redemption price (at a month old you shall redeem them) you shall fix at five shekels in silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.


book: Num
contenido:
But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shall burn their fat as an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the Lord;


book: Num
contenido:
All the holy offerings which the people of Israel present to the Lord I give to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due; it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord for you and for your offspring with you.”


book: Num
contenido:
And the Lord said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
“To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, their service in the tent of meeting.


book: Num
contenido:
And henceforth the people of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin and die.


book: Num
contenido:
But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; and among the people of Israel they shall have no inheritance.


book: Num
contenido:
For the tithe of the people of Israel, which they present as an offering to the Lord, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance; therefore I have said of them that they shall have no inheritance among the people of Israel.”


book: Num
contenido:
“Moreover you shall say to the Levites, ‘When you take from the people of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall present an offering from it to the Lord, a tithe of the tithe.


book: Num
contenido:
And your offering shall be reckoned to you as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fulness of the wine press.


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


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


book: Num
contenido:
Therefore you shall say to them, ‘When you have offered from it the best of it, then the rest shall be reckoned to the Levites as produce of the threshing floor, and as produce of the wine press;


book: Num
contenido:
and you may eat it in any place, you and your households; for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.


book: Num
contenido:
And you shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have offered the best of it. And you shall not profane the holy things of the people of Israel, lest you die.’”


book: Num

“This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded: Tell the people of Israel to bring you a red heifer without defect, in which there is no blemish, and upon which a yoke has never come.


book: Num
contenido:
And you shall give her to Elea′zar the priest, and she shall be taken outside the camp and slaughtered before him;


book: Num
contenido:
and Elea′zar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times.


book: Num
contenido:
And the heifer shall be burned in his sight; her skin, her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall be burned;


book: Num
contenido:
and the priest shall take cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet stuff, and cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer.


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


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


book: Num
contenido:
And a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the people of Israel for the water for impurity, for the removal of sin.


book: Num
contenido:
And he who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. And this shall be to the people of Israel, and to the stranger who sojourns among them, a perpetual statute.


book: Num
contenido:
he shall cleanse himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day, and so be clean; but if he does not cleanse himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not become clean.


book: Num
contenido:
Whoever touches a dead person, the body of any man who has died, and does not cleanse himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from Israel; because the water for impurity was not thrown upon 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: every one who comes into the tent, and every one who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.


book: Num
contenido:
Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.


book: Num
contenido:
For the unclean they shall take some ashes of the burnt sin offering, and running water shall be added in a vessel;


book: Num
contenido:
then a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the furnishings, and upon the persons who were there, and upon him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave;


book: Num
contenido:
and the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; thus on the seventh day he shall cleanse him, and he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and at evening he shall be clean.


book: Num
contenido:
“But the man who is unclean and does not cleanse himself, that person shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, since he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord; because the water for impurity has not been thrown upon him, he is unclean.


book: Num
contenido:
And it shall be a perpetual statute for them. He who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes; and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.


book: Num
contenido:
And whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and any one who touches it shall be unclean until evening.”

The Waters of Meribah
And the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.


book: Num
contenido:
Now there was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.


book: Num
contenido:
And the people contended with Moses, and said, “Would that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord!


book: Num
contenido:
Why have you brought the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we should die here, both we and our cattle?


book: Num
contenido:
And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is no place for grain, or figs, or vines, or pomegranates; and there is no water to drink.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tent of meeting, and fell on their faces. And the glory of the Lord appeared to them,


book: Num
contenido:
“Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you and Aaron your brother, and tell the rock before their eyes to yield its water; so you shall bring water out of the rock for them; so you shall give drink to the congregation and their cattle.”


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?”


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.


book: Num
contenido:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”


book: Num
contenido:
These are the waters of Mer′ibah, where the people of Israel contended with the Lord, and he showed himself holy among them.


book: Num

Passage through Edom Refused
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, “Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the adversity that has befallen us:


book: Num
contenido:
how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt harshly with us and our fathers;


book: Num
contenido:
and when we cried to the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us forth out of Egypt; and here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.


book: Num
contenido:
Now let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard, neither will we drink water from a well; we will go along the King’s Highway, we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed through your territory.”


book: Num
contenido:
And the people of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my cattle, then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot, nothing more.”


book: Num
contenido:
But he said, “You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against them with many men, and with a strong force.


book: Num
contenido:
The Death of Aaron
And they journeyed from Kadesh, and the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.


book: Num
contenido:
“Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the people of Israel, because you rebelled against my command at the waters of Mer′ibah.


book: Num
contenido:
and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Elea′zar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there.”


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Elea′zar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Elea′zar came down from the mountain.


book: Num
contenido:
And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, all the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirty days.

The Bronze Serpent
When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the Negeb, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.


book: Num
contenido:
And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, “If thou wilt indeed give this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”


book: Num
contenido:
And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and gave over the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities; so the name of the place was called Hormah.


book: Num
contenido:
From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the people became impatient on the way.


book: Num
contenido:
And the people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.


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


book: Num
contenido:
And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses made a bronze serpent, and set it on a pole; and if a serpent bit any man, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.


book: Num
contenido:
And they set out from Oboth, and encamped at I′ye-ab′arim, in the wilderness which is opposite Moab, toward the sunrise.


book: Num
contenido:
From there they set out, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the boundary of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.


book: Num
contenido:
Wherefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord,
“Waheb in Suphah,
and the valleys of the Arnon,


book: Num
contenido:
And from there they continued to Beer; that is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”


book: Num
contenido:
the well which the princes dug,
which the nobles of the people delved,
with the scepter and with their staves.”
And from the wilderness they went on to Mat′tanah,


book: Num
contenido:
and from Bamoth to the valley lying in the region of Moab by the top of Pisgah which looks down upon the desert.


book: Num
contenido:
“Let me pass through your land; we will not turn aside into field or vineyard; we will not drink the water of a well; we will go by the King’s Highway, until we have passed through your territory.”


book: Num
contenido:
But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his men together, and went out against Israel to the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
And Israel slew him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites; for Jazer was the boundary of the Ammonites.


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


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


book: Num
contenido:
Therefore the ballad singers say,
“Come to Heshbon, let it be built,
let the city of Sihon be established.


book: Num
contenido:
For fire went forth from Heshbon,
flame from the city of Sihon.
It devoured Ar of Moab,
the lords of the heights of the Arnon.


book: Num
contenido:
Woe to you, O Moab!
You are undone, O people of Chemosh!
He has made his sons fugitives,
and his daughters captives,
to an Amorite king, Sihon.


book: Num
contenido:
So their posterity perished from Heshbon, as far as Dibon,
and we laid waste until fire spread to Med′eba.”


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its villages, and dispossessed the Amorites that were there.


book: Num
contenido:
Then they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Ed′re-i.


book: Num
contenido:
But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him; for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.”


book: Num
contenido:
So they slew him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was not one survivor left to him; and they possessed his land.

Balak Summons Balaam to Curse Israel
Then the people of Israel set out, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.


book: Num
contenido:
And Moab was in great dread of the people, because they were many; Moab was overcome with fear of the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
And Moab said to the elders of Mid′ian, “This horde will now lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field.” So Balak the son of Zippor, who was king of Moab at that time,


book: Num
contenido:
sent messengers to Balaam the son of Be′or at Pethor, which is near the River, in the land of Amaw to call him, saying, “Behold, a people has come out of Egypt; they cover the face of the earth, and they are dwelling opposite me.


book: Num
contenido:
Come now, curse this people for me, since they are too mighty for me; perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them from the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”


book: Num
contenido:
So the elders of Moab and the elders of Mid′ian departed with the fees for divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and gave him Balak’s message.


book: Num
contenido:
And he said to them, “Lodge here this night, and I will bring back word to you, as the Lord speaks to me”; so the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.


book: Num
contenido:
‘Behold, a people has come out of Egypt, and it covers the face of the earth; now come, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to fight against them and drive them out.’”


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


book: Num
contenido:
So Balaam rose in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, “Go to your own land; for the Lord has refused to let me go with you.”


book: Num
contenido:
And they came to Balaam and said to him, “Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: ‘Let nothing hinder you from coming to me;


book: Num
contenido:
for I will surely do you great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do; come, curse this people for me.’”


book: Num
contenido:
But Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, “Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the command of the Lord my God, to do less or more.


book: Num
contenido:
And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, rise, go with them; but only what I bid you, that shall you do.”


book: Num

Balaam, the Donkey, and the Angel
So Balaam rose in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.


book: Num
contenido:
But God’s anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of the Lord took his stand in the way as his adversary. Now he was riding on the ass, and his two servants were with him.


book: Num
contenido:
And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road, with a drawn sword in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the road, and went into the field; and Balaam struck the ass, to turn her into the road.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, with a wall on either side.


book: Num
contenido:
And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she pushed against the wall, and pressed Balaam’s foot against the wall; so he struck her again.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the angel of the Lord went ahead, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left.


book: Num
contenido:
When the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he struck the ass with his staff.


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


book: Num
contenido:
And Balaam said to the ass, “Because you have made sport of me. I wish I had a sword in my hand, for then I would kill you.”


book: Num
contenido:
And the ass said to Balaam, “Am I not your ass, upon which you have ridden all your life long to this day? Was I ever accustomed to do so to you?” And he said, “No.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, 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 fell on his face.


book: Num
contenido:
And the angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your ass these three times? Behold, I have come forth to withstand you, because your way is perverse before me;


book: Num
contenido:
and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times. If she had not turned aside from me, surely just now I would have slain you and let her live.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned, for I did not know that thou didst stand in the road against me. Now therefore, if it is evil in thy sight, I will go back again.”


book: Num
contenido:
And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men; but only the word which I bid you, that shall you speak.” So Balaam went on with the princes of Balak.


book: Num
contenido:
When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, on the boundary formed by the Arnon, at the extremity of the boundary.


book: Num
contenido:
And Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?”


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam said to Balak, “Lo, I have come to you! Have I now any power at all to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that must I speak.”


book: Num

Balaam’s First Oracle
And on the morrow Balak took Balaam and brought him up to Bamothba′al; and from there he saw the nearest of the people.


book: Num
contenido:
23 And Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me here seven altars, and provide for me here seven bulls and seven rams.”


book: Num
contenido:
And 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.” And he went to a bare height.


book: Num
contenido:
And God met Balaam; and Balaam said to him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered upon each altar a bull and a ram.”


book: Num

book: Num

And Balaam took up his discourse, and said,
“From Aram Balak has brought me,
the king of Moab from the eastern mountains:
‘Come, curse Jacob for me,
and come, denounce Israel!’


book: Num
contenido:
For from the top of the mountains I see him,
from the hills I behold him;
lo, a people dwelling alone,
and not reckoning itself among the nations!


book: Num
contenido:
Who can count the dust of Jacob,
or number the fourth part of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous,
and let my end be like his!”


book: Num

And Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have done nothing but bless them.”


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam’s Second Oracle
And Balak said to him, “Come with me to another place, from which you may see them; you shall see only the nearest of them, and shall not see them all; then curse them for me from there.”


book: Num

And he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.


book: Num

And the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus shall you speak.”


book: Num
contenido:
And he came to him, and lo, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, “What has the Lord spoken?”


book: Num
contenido:
And Balaam took up his discourse, and said,
“Rise, Balak, and hear;
hearken to me, O son of Zippor:


book: Num
contenido:
God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should repent.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfil it?


book: Num
contenido:
He has not beheld misfortune in Jacob;
nor has he seen trouble in Israel.
The Lord their God is with them,
and the shout of a king is among them.


book: Num
contenido:
For there is no enchantment against Jacob,
no divination against Israel;
now it shall be said of Jacob and Israel,
‘What has God wrought!’


book: Num
contenido:
Behold, a people! As a lioness it rises up
and as a lion it lifts itself;
it does not lie down till it devours the prey,
and drinks the blood of the slain.”


book: Num
contenido:
And Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”


book: Num

And Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me here seven altars, and provide for me here seven bulls and seven rams.”

When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go, as at other times, to look for omens, but set his face toward the wilderness.


book: Num

And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and saw Israel encamping tribe by tribe. And the Spirit of God came upon him,


book: Num

and he took up his discourse, and said,
“The oracle of Balaam the son of Be′or,
the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,


book: Num
contenido:
the oracle of him who hears the words of God,
who sees the vision of the Almighty,
falling down, but having his eyes uncovered:

Like valleys that stretch afar,
like gardens beside a river,
like aloes that the Lord has planted,
like cedar trees beside the waters.

Water shall flow from his buckets,
and his seed shall be in many waters,
his king shall be higher than Agag,
and his kingdom shall be exalted.

God brings him out of Egypt;
he has as it were the horns of the wild ox,
he shall eat up the nations his adversaries,

He couched, he lay down like a lion,
and like a lioness; who will rouse him up?
Blessed be every one who blesses you,

Balaam’s Fourth Oracle
And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them these three times.


book: Num

Therefore now flee to your place; I said, ‘I will certainly honor you,’ but the Lord has held you back from honor.”

“The oracle of Balaam the son of Be′or,
the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,


book: Num

the oracle of him who hears the words of God,
and knows the knowledge of the Most High,
who sees the vision of the Almighty,
falling down, but having his eyes uncovered:


book: Num
contenido:
I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not nigh:
a star shall come forth out of Jacob,
and a scepter shall rise out of Israel;
it shall crush the forehead of Moab,
and break down all the sons of Sheth.


book: Num

Edom shall be dispossessed,
Se′ir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed,

And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his discourse, and said,
“Enduring is your dwelling place,

Vows Made by Women
Moses said to the heads of the tribes of the people of Israel, “This is what the Lord has commanded.


book: Num
contenido:
When a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.


book: Num
contenido:
Or when a woman vows a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by a pledge, while within her father’s house, in her youth,


book: Num
contenido:
and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge by which she has bound herself, and says nothing to her; then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand.


book: Num
contenido:
But if her father expresses disapproval to her on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by which she has bound herself, shall stand; and the Lord will forgive her, because her father opposed her.


book: Num
contenido:
And if she is married to a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself,


book: Num
contenido:
and her husband hears of it, and says nothing to her on the day that he hears; then her vows shall stand, and her pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.


book: Num
contenido:
But if, on the day that her husband comes to hear of it, he expresses disapproval, then he shall make void her vow which was on her, and the thoughtless utterance of her lips, by which she bound herself; and the Lord will forgive her.


book: Num
contenido:
But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.


book: Num
contenido:
and her husband heard of it, and said nothing to her, and did not oppose her; then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she bound herself shall stand.


book: Num
contenido:
But if her husband makes them null and void on the day that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning her pledge of herself, shall not stand: her husband has made them void, and the Lord will forgive her.


book: Num
contenido:
Any vow and any binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish, or her husband may make void.


book: Num
contenido:
But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her pledges, that are upon her; he has established them, because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard of them.


book: Num
contenido:
These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, as between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter, while in her youth, within her father’s house.


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses said to the people, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Mid′ian, to execute the Lord’s vengeance on Mid′ian.


book: Num

So there were provided, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.


book: Num

And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from each tribe, together with Phin′ehas the son of Elea′zar the priest, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.


book: Num

They slew the kings of Mid′ian with the rest of their slain, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Mid′ian; and they also slew Balaam the son of Be′or with the sword.

And the people of Israel took captive the women of Mid′ian and their little ones; and they took as booty all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods.

Return from the War
Moses, and Elea′zar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside the camp.


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war.


book: Num
contenido:
Behold, these caused the people of Israel, by the counsel of Balaam, to act treacherously against the Lord in the matter of Pe′or, and so the plague came among the congregation of the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.


book: Num
contenido:
Encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever of you has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves and your captives on the third day and on the seventh day.


book: Num
contenido:
You shall purify every garment, every article of skin, all work of goats’ hair, and every article of wood.”


book: Num
contenido:
And Elea′zar 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 the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it shall be clean. Nevertheless it shall also be purified with the water of impurity; and whatever cannot stand the fire, you shall pass through the water.


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


book: Num
contenido:
“Take the count of the booty that was taken, both of man and of beast, you and Elea′zar the priest and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the congregation;


book: Num
contenido:
and divide the booty into two parts, between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation.


book: Num
contenido:
And levy for the Lord a tribute from the men of war who went out to battle, one out of five hundred, of the persons and of the oxen and of the asses and of the flocks;


book: Num
contenido:
And from the people of Israel’s half you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all the cattle, and give them to the Levites who have charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.”


book: Num
contenido:
Now the booty remaining of the spoil that the men of war took was: six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,


book: Num
contenido:
And the half, the portion of those who had gone out to war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses gave the tribute, which was the offering for the Lord, to Elea′zar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.


book: Num
contenido:
from the people of Israel’s half Moses took one of every fifty, both of persons and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,


book: Num
contenido:
and said to Moses, “Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our command, and there is not a man missing from us.


book: Num
contenido:
And we have brought the Lord’s offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and beads, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”


book: Num
contenido:
And all the gold of the offering that they offered to the Lord, from the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses and Elea′zar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the people of Israel before the Lord.

Conquest and Division of Transjordan
Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for cattle.


book: Num
contenido:
So the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Elea′zar the priest and to the leaders of the congregation,


book: Num
contenido:
the land which the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle; and your servants have cattle.”


book: Num
contenido:
And they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not take us across the Jordan.”


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


book: Num
contenido:
Why will you discourage the heart of the people of Israel from going 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 heart of the people of Israel from going into the land which the Lord had given them.


book: Num
contenido:
‘Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not wholly followed me;


book: Num
contenido:
none except Caleb the son of Jephun′neh the Ken′izzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the Lord.’


book: Num
contenido:
And the Lord’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord was consumed.


book: Num
contenido:
And behold, you have risen in your fathers’ stead, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel!


book: Num
contenido:
For if you turn away from following him, he will again abandon them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then they came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our flocks, and cities for our little ones,


book: Num
contenido:
but we will take up arms, ready to go before the people of Israel, until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones shall live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.


book: Num
contenido:
For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond; because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan to the east.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses said to them, “If you will do this, if you will take up arms to go before the Lord for the war,


book: Num
contenido:
and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the Lord, until he has driven out his enemies from before him


book: Num
contenido:
and the land is subdued before the Lord; then after that you shall return and be free of obligation to the Lord and to Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the Lord.


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


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


book: Num
contenido:
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall remain there in the cities of Gilead;


book: Num
contenido:
but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord orders.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses gave command concerning them to Elea′zar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
And Moses said to them, “If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, every man who is armed to battle before the Lord, will pass with you over the Jordan and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;


book: Num
contenido:
but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”


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


book: Num
contenido:
We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”

God’s Commission to Joshua
After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister,


book: Josh
contenido:
“Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, to the people of Israel.


book: Josh

From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphra′tes, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory.

contenido:
No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.


book: Josh
contenido:
Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.


book: Josh
contenido:
Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you; turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.


book: Josh
contenido:
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.


book: Josh
contenido:
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; be not frightened, neither be dismayed; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”


book: Josh
contenido:
“Pass through the camp, and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to take possession of the land which the Lord your God gives you to possess.’”


book: Josh

“Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is providing you a place of rest, and will give you this land.’


book: Josh
contenido:
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but all the men of valor among you shall pass over armed before your brethren and shall help them,


book: Josh
contenido:
until the Lord gives rest to your brethren as well as to you, and they also take possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them; then you shall return to the land of your possession, and shall possess it, the land which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And they answered Joshua, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

Spies Sent to Jericho
And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” And they went, and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.


book: Josh
contenido:
And it was told the king of Jericho, “Behold, certain men of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, “Bring forth the men that have come to you, who entered your house; for they have come to search out all the land.”


book: Josh
contenido:
But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them; and she said, “True, men came to me, but I did not know where they came from;


book: Josh
contenido:
and when the gate was to be closed, at dark, the men went out; where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them.”


book: Josh
contenido:
But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax which she had laid in order on the roof.


book: Josh
contenido:
So the men pursued after them on the way to the Jordan as far as the fords; and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut.


book: Josh
contenido:
and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.


book: Josh
contenido:
For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.


book: Josh
contenido:
And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no courage left in any man, because of you; for the Lord your God is he who is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.


book: Josh
contenido:
Now then, swear to me by the Lord that as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a sure sign,


book: Josh
contenido:
and save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And the men said to her, “Our life for yours! If you do not tell this business of ours, then we will deal kindly and faithfully with you when the Lord gives us the land.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, so that she dwelt in the wall.


book: Josh
contenido:
And she said to them, “Go into the hills, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned; then afterward you may go your way.”


book: Josh
contenido:
The men said to her, “We will be guiltless with respect to this oath of yours which you have made us swear.


book: Josh
contenido:
Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down; and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household.


book: Josh
contenido:
If any one goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be guiltless; but if a hand is laid upon any one who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head.


book: Josh
contenido:
But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless with respect to your oath which you have made us swear.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And she said, “According to your words, so be it.” Then she sent them away, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet cord in the window.


book: Josh
contenido:
They departed, and went into the hills, and remained there three days, until the pursuers returned; for the pursuers had made search all along the way and found nothing.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the two men came down again from the hills, and passed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.


book: Josh
contenido:
And they said to Joshua, “Truly the Lord has given all the land into our hands; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of us.”


book: Josh

Israel Crosses the Jordan
Early in the morning Joshua rose and set out from Shittim, with all the people of Israel; and they came to the Jordan, and lodged there before they passed over.


book: Josh
contenido:
and commanded the people, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God being carried by the Levitical priests, then you shall set out from your place and follow it,


book: Josh
contenido:
that you may know the way you shall go, for you have not passed this way before. Yet there shall be a space between you and it, a distance of about two thousand cubits; do not come near it.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people.” And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.


book: Josh
contenido:
And you shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, ‘When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’”


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua said, “Hereby you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Per′izzites, the Gir′gashites, the Amorites, and the Jeb′usites.


book: Josh
contenido:
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is to pass over before you into the Jordan.


book: Josh
contenido:
And when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be stopped from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall stand in one heap.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So, when the people set out from their tents, to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,


book: Josh
contenido:
and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of harvest),


book: Josh
contenido:
the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap far off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zar′ethan, and those flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off; and the people passed over opposite Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
And while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.


book: Josh
contenido:
Twelve Stones Set Up at Gilgal
When all the nation had finished passing over the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua,


book: Josh
contenido:
and command them, ‘Take twelve stones from here out of the midst of the Jordan, from the very place where the priests’ feet stood, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the place where you lodge tonight.’”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua called the twelve men from the people of Israel, whom he had appointed, a man from each tribe;


book: Josh
contenido:
and Joshua said to them, “Pass on before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take up each of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel,


book: Josh
contenido:
that this may be a sign among you, when your children ask in time to come, ‘What do those stones mean to you?’


book: Josh
contenido:
Then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial for ever.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And the men of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel, as the Lord told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant had stood; and they are there to this day.


book: Josh
contenido:
For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that the Lord commanded Joshua to tell the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua.
The people passed over in haste;


book: Josh
contenido:
and when all the people had finished passing over, the ark of the Lord and the priests passed over before the people.


book: Josh
contenido:
The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manas′seh passed over armed before the people of Israel, as Moses had bidden them;


book: Josh
contenido:
about forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before the Lord for battle, to the plains of Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
On that day the Lord exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him, as they had stood in awe of Moses, all the days of his life.


book: Josh
contenido:
And when the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord came up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up on dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks, as before.


book: Josh
contenido:
The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they encamped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
And he said to the people of Israel, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, ‘What do these stones mean?’


book: Josh
contenido:
For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up for us until we passed over,


book: Josh
contenido:
so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty; that you may fear the Lord your God for ever.”


book: Josh
contenido:
The New Generation Circumcised
When all the kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites that were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them, because of the people of Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the people of Israel again the second time.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt.


book: Josh
contenido:
Though all the people who came out had been circumcised, yet all the people that were born on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt had not been circumcised.


book: Josh
contenido:
For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, perished, because they did not hearken to the voice of the Lord; to them the Lord swore that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.


book: Josh
contenido:
So it was their children, whom he raised up in their stead, that Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.


book: Josh
contenido:
When the circumcising of all the nation was done, they remained in their places in the camp till they were healed.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” And so the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.


book: Josh
contenido:
The Passover at Gilgal
While the people of Israel were encamped in Gilgal they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
And on the morrow after the passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they ate of the produce of the land; and the people of Israel had manna no more, but ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua’s Vision
When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood before him with his drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?”


book: Josh
contenido:
And he said, “No; but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, “What does my lord bid his servant?”


book: Josh
contenido:
And the commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Put off your shoes from your feet; for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.


book: Josh
contenido:
Jericho Taken and Destroyed
Now Jericho was shut up from within and from without because of the people of Israel; none went out, and none came in.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given into your hand Jericho, with its king and mighty men of valor.


book: Josh
contenido:
You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days.


book: Josh
contenido:
And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark; and on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, the priests blowing the trumpets.


book: Josh
contenido:
And when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, as soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And he said to the people, “Go forward; march around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the Lord.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the Lord went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the Lord following them.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while the trumpets blew continually.


book: Josh
contenido:
But Joshua commanded the people, “You shall not shout or let your voice be heard, neither shall any word go out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then you shall shout.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So he caused the ark of the Lord to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and spent the night in the camp.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord passed on, blowing the trumpets continually; and the armed men went before them, and the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets blew continually.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did for six days.


book: Josh
contenido:
On the seventh day they rose early at the dawn of day, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times: it was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.


book: Josh
contenido:
And at the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout; for the Lord has given you the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the Lord for destruction; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers that we sent.


book: Josh
contenido:
But you, keep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted them you take any of the devoted things and make the camp of Israel a thing for destruction, and bring trouble upon it.


book: Josh
contenido:
But all silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are sacred to the Lord; they shall go into the treasury of the Lord.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people raised a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then they utterly destroyed all in the city, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and asses, with the edge of the sword.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out from it the woman, and all who belong to her, as you swore to her.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So the young men who had been spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father and mother and brothers and all who belonged to her; and they brought all her kindred, and set them outside the camp of Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
And they burned the city with fire, and all within it; only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.


book: Josh
contenido:
But Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive; and she dwelt in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua laid an oath upon them at that time, saying, “Cursed before the Lord be the man that rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho.
At the cost of his first-born shall he
lay its foundation,
and at the cost of his youngest son
shall he set up its gates.”


book: Josh
contenido:
The Sin of Achan and Its Punishment
But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things; for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things; and the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-a′ven, east of Bethel, and said to them, “Go up and spy out the land.” And the men went up and spied out Ai.


book: Josh
contenido:
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, “Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai; do not make the whole people toil up there, for they are but few.”


book: Josh
contenido:
and the men of Ai killed about thirty-six men of them, and chased them before the gate as far as Sheb′arim, and slew them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust upon their heads.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua said, “Alas, O Lord God, why hast thou brought this people over the Jordan at all, to give us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would that we had been content to dwell beyond the Jordan!


book: Josh
contenido:
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth; and what wilt thou do for thy great name?”


book: Josh
contenido:
Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, and lied, and put them among their own stuff.


book: Josh
contenido:
Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become a thing for destruction. I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.


book: Josh
contenido:
Up, sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the Lord, God of Israel, “There are devoted things in the midst of you, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies, until you take away the devoted things from among you.”


book: Josh
contenido:
In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes; and the tribe which the Lord takes shall come near by families; and the family which the Lord takes shall come near by households; and the household which the Lord takes shall come near man by man.


book: Josh
contenido:
And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he has done a shameful thing in Israel.’”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua rose early in the morning, and brought Israel near tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was taken;


book: Josh
contenido:
and he brought near the families of Judah, and the family of the Zer′ahites was taken; and he brought near the family of the Zer′ahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken;


book: Josh
contenido:
and he brought near his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and render praise to him; and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And Achan answered Joshua, “Of a truth I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I did:


book: Josh
contenido:
when I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them, and took them; and behold, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent with the silver underneath.


book: Josh
contenido:
And they took them out of the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the people of Israel; and they laid them down before the Lord.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver and the mantle and the bar of gold, and his sons and daughters, and his oxen and asses and sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to the Valley of Achor.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua said, “Why did you bring trouble on us? The Lord brings trouble on you today.” And all Israel stoned him with stones; they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.


book: Josh
contenido:
And they raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day; then the Lord turned from his burning anger. Therefore to this day the name of that place is called the Valley of Achor.


book: Josh
contenido:
Ai Captured by a Stratagem and Destroyed
And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear or be dismayed; take all the fighting men with you, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, his city, and his land;


book: Josh
contenido:
and you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king; only its spoil and its cattle you shall take as booty for yourselves; lay an ambush against the city, behind it.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua arose, and all the fighting men, to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them forth by night.


book: Josh
contenido:
And he commanded them, “Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind it; do not go very far from the city, but hold yourselves all in readiness;


book: Josh
contenido:
and I, and all the people who are with me, will approach the city. And when they come out against us, as before, we shall flee before them;


book: Josh
contenido:
and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, ‘They are fleeing from us, as before.’ So we will flee from them;


book: Josh
contenido:
then you shall rise up from the ambush, and seize the city; for the Lord your God will give it into your hand.


book: Josh
contenido:
And when you have taken the city, you shall set the city on fire, doing as the Lord has bidden; see, I have commanded you.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua sent them forth; and they went to the place of ambush, and lay between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai; but Joshua spent that night among the people.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua arose early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, with the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.


book: Josh
contenido:
And all the fighting men who were with him went up, and drew near before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai, with a ravine between them and Ai.


book: Josh
contenido:
And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
So they stationed the forces, the main encampment which was north of the city and its rear guard west of the city. But Joshua spent that night in the valley.


book: Josh
contenido:
And when the king of Ai saw this he and all his people, the men of the city, made haste and went out early to the descent toward the Arabah to meet Israel in battle; but he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua and all Israel made a pretense of being beaten before them, and fled in the direction of the wilderness.


book: Josh
contenido:
So all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them, and as they pursued Joshua they were drawn away from the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, who did not go out after Israel; they left the city open, and pursued Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into your hand.” And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the ambush rose quickly out of their place, and as soon as he had stretched out his hand, they ran and entered the city and took it; and they made haste to set the city on fire.


book: Josh
contenido:
So when the men of Ai looked back, behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven; and they had no power to flee this way or that, for the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.

Then Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal to the Lord, the God of Israel,


book: Josh
contenido:
as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the people of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, “an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man has lifted an iron tool”; and they offered on it burnt offerings to the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.


book: Josh

And there, in the presence of the people of Israel, he wrote upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written.


book: Josh
contenido:
And all Israel, sojourner as well as homeborn, with their elders and officers and their judges, stood on opposite sides of the ark before the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, half of them in front of Mount Ger′izim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

The Gibeonites Save Themselves by Trickery
When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan in the hill country and in the lowland all along the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Per′izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb′usites, heard of this,


book: Josh
contenido:
they on their part acted with cunning, and went and made ready provisions, and took worn-out sacks upon their asses, and wineskins, worn-out and torn and mended,


book: Josh
contenido:
with worn-out, patched sandals on their feet, and worn-out clothes; and all their provisions were dry and moldy.


book: Josh
contenido:
And they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country; so now make a covenant with us.”


book: Josh
contenido:
But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you live among us; then how can we make a covenant with you?”


book: Josh
contenido:
They said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” And Joshua said to them, “Who are you? And where do you come from?”


book: Josh
contenido:
They said to him, “From a very far country your servants have come, because of the name of the Lord your God; for we have heard a report of him, and all that he did in Egypt,


book: Josh
contenido:
and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ash′taroth.


book: Josh
contenido:
And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, ‘Take provisions in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, “We are your servants; come now, make a covenant with us.”’


book: Josh
contenido:
Here is our bread; it was still warm when we took it from our houses as our food for the journey, on the day we set forth to come to you, but now, behold, it is dry and moldy;


book: Josh
contenido:
these wineskins were new when we filled them, and behold, they are burst; and these garments and shoes of ours are worn out from the very long journey.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the leaders of the congregation swore to them.


book: Josh
contenido:
At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt among them.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the people of Israel set out and reached their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephi′rah, Be-er′oth, and Kir′iath-je′arim.


book: Josh
contenido:
But the people of Israel did not kill them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. Then all the congregation murmured against the leaders.


book: Josh
contenido:
But all the leaders said to all the congregation, “We have sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, and now we may not touch them.


book: Josh
contenido:
This we will do to them, and let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore to them.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And the leaders said to them, “Let them live.” So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the leaders had said of them.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua summoned them, and he said to them, “Why did you deceive us, saying, ‘We are very far from you,’ when you dwell among us?


book: Josh
contenido:
Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you shall always be slaves, hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.”


book: Josh
contenido:
They answered Joshua, “Because it was told to your servants for a certainty that the Lord your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; so we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing.


book: Josh
contenido:
So he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the people of Israel; and they did not kill them.


book: Josh
contenido:
But Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the Lord, to continue to this day, in the place which he should choose.

The Sun Stands Still
When Ado′ni-ze′dek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,


book: Josh
contenido:
he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.


book: Josh
contenido:
So Ado′ni-ze′dek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhi′a king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,


book: Josh
contenido:
“Come up to me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the people of Israel.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered their forces, and went up with all their armies and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, “Do not relax your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country are gathered against us.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands; there shall not a man of them stand before you.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And the Lord threw them into a panic before Israel, who slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-hor′on, and smote them as far as Aze′kah and Makke′dah.


book: Josh
contenido:
And as they fled before Israel, while they were going down the ascent of Beth-hor′on, the Lord threw down great stones from heaven upon them as far as Aze′kah, and they died; there were more who died because of the hailstones than the men of Israel killed with the sword.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then spoke Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the men of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel,
“Sun, stand thou still at Gibeon,
and thou Moon in the valley of Ai′jalon.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.
Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.


book: Josh
contenido:
There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord hearkened to the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
but do not stay there yourselves, pursue your enemies, fall upon their rear, do not let them enter their cities; for the Lord your God has given them into your hand.”


book: Josh
contenido:
When Joshua and the men of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, until they were wiped out, and when the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,


book: Josh
contenido:
all the people returned safe to Joshua in the camp at Makke′dah; not a man moved his tongue against any of the people of Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
And they did so, and brought those five kings out to him from the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.


book: Josh
contenido:
And when they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua summoned all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, “Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings.” Then they came near, and put their feet on their necks.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid or dismayed; be strong and of good courage; for thus the Lord will do to all your enemies against whom you fight.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And afterward Joshua smote them and put them to death, and he hung them on five trees. And they hung upon the trees until evening;


book: Josh
contenido:
but at the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and they set great stones against the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua took Makke′dah on that day, and smote it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed every person in it, he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makke′dah as he had done to the king of Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua passed on from Makke′dah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah;


book: Josh
contenido:
and the Lord gave it also and its king into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it; he left none remaining in it; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua passed on from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and laid siege to it, and assaulted it:


book: Josh
contenido:
and the Lord gave Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it, as he had done to Libnah.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he left none remaining.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua passed on with all Israel from Lachish to Eglon; and they laid siege to it, and assaulted it;


book: Josh
contenido:
and they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and every person in it he utterly destroyed that day, as he had done to Lachish.


book: Josh
contenido:
and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king and its towns, and every person in it; he left none remaining, as he had done to Eglon, and utterly destroyed it with every person in it.


book: Josh
contenido:
and he took it with its king and all its towns; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed every person in it; he left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king, so he did to Debir and to its king.


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua defeated the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua defeated them from Ka′desh-bar′nea to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.


book: Josh

And Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.

to the Canaanites in the east and the west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Per′izzites, and the Jeb′usites in the hill country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.


book: Josh
contenido:
And they came out, with all their troops, a great host, in number like the sand that is upon the seashore, with very many horses and chariots.


book: Josh
contenido:
And all these kings joined their forces, and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel; you shall hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua came suddenly upon them with all his people of war, by the waters of Merom, and fell upon them.


book: Josh
contenido:
And the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel, who smote them and chased them as far as Great Sidon and Mis′rephoth-ma′im, and eastward as far as the valley of Mizpeh; and they smote them, until they left none remaining.

And Joshua did to them as the Lord bade him; he hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.

As the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.

book: Josh
contenido:
from Mount Halak, that rises toward Se′ir, as far as Ba′al-gad in the valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. And he took all their kings, and smote them, and put them to death.


book: Josh
contenido:
There was not a city that made peace with the people of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon; they took all in battle.


book: Josh
contenido:
For it was the Lord’s doing to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be utterly destroyed, and should receive no mercy but be exterminated, as the Lord commanded Moses.


book: Josh

And Joshua came at that time, and wiped out the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

Yet the people of Israel did not drive out the Gesh′urites or the Ma-ac′athites; but Geshur and Ma′acath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.


book: Josh

To the tribe of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance; the offerings by fire to the Lord God of Israel are their inheritance, as he said to him.

The Territory of Reuben
And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the Reubenites according to their families.
