¹ Then* Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ² "Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the basket of the unleavened bread, ³ and summon all of the community to the entrance to* the tent of assembly." ⁴ So* Moses did just as Yahweh commanded him, and the community gathered by the entrance to* the tent of assembly. ⁵ Then* Moses said to the community, "This is the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done."* ⁶ So* Moses brought Aaron and his sons near, and he washed them with water. ⁷ Then* he put the tunic on him and tied* the sash around him; then* he clothed him with the robe and put* the ephod on him; then* he tied the ephod's waistband around him and fastened* the ephod* to him with it. ⁸ Then* he placed the breastpiece on him and put* the Urim and the Thummim into the breastpiece; ⁹ and he placed the turban on his head, and on _⌊the front of_⌋* the turban he placed the gold rosette, the holy diadem, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ¹⁰ Then* Moses took the anointing oil and anointed* the tabernacle and all that was in it, and he consecrated them. ¹¹ And he spattered _⌊part of_⌋* it on the altar seven times—thus* he anointed the altar and all of its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them. ¹² Then* he poured out _⌊part of_⌋* the anointing oil on Aaron's head—thus* he anointed him in order to consecrate him. ¹³ Then* Moses brought Aaron's sons near and clothed* them with tunics and tied* a sash around _⌊each one_⌋,* and he bound headbands on* them, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ¹⁴ Then* he brought forth the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering, ¹⁵ and he slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood and put* it with his finger on the altar's horns all around and purified the altar; then* he poured the blood out on the altar's base—thus* he consecrated it in order to make atonement for it.* ¹⁶ Then* he took all the fat that was on the inner parts* and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses turned them into smoke on the altar, ¹⁷ but* he burned the bull and its skin and its meat and its offal in the fire _⌊outside the camp_⌋,* just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ¹⁸ Then* he brought the ram of the burnt offering near, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram's head, ¹⁹ and he slaughtered it. Then* Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around. ²⁰ Then* he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses turned into smoke the head and the pieces and the suet, ²¹ but* he washed the inner parts* and the lower leg bones with water, and Moses turned into smoke all of the ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering as an appeasing fragrance, an offering made by fire for* Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ²² Then* he brought the second ram near, the ram of the consecration, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram's head, ²³ and he slaughtered it. Then* Moses took _⌊some of_⌋* its blood and put* it on Aaron's right ear lobe and on his right hand's thumb and on his right foot's big toe. ²⁴ Then* he brought Aaron's sons near, and Moses put _⌊some of_⌋* the blood on their right ear lobe and on their right hand's thumb and on their right foot's big toe, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around. ²⁵ Then* he took the fat and the fat tail and all of the fat that was on the inner parts* and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right upper thigh; ²⁶ and from the basket of the unleavened bread that was before Yahweh he took one ring-shaped unleavened bread and one ring-shaped bread with* oil and one wafer, and he placed them on the _⌊fat parts_⌋* and on the right upper thigh. ²⁷ Then* he put _⌊all of these_⌋* on Aaron's palms and on his sons' palms, and he waved them as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh. ²⁸ Then* Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they were a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance—it was an offering made by fire for* Yahweh. ²⁹ Then* Moses took the breast section, and he waved it as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh from the ram of the consecration offering; it was Moses' share, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ³⁰ Then* Moses took _⌊some of_⌋* the anointing oil and _⌊some of_⌋* the blood that was on the altar, and he spattered them on Aaron, on his garments, and on Aaron's sons and on his sons' garments with him—thus* he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

¹³ And Moses said to Yahweh, "Then the Egyptians will hear that you brought up this people from their* midst in your power, ¹⁴ and they will _⌊tell it_⌋* to the inhabitants of this land. They heard that you, Yahweh, are in the midst of this people, that you are seen eye to eye, and your cloud is standing over them, and in a column of cloud you go before them by day and in a column of fire at night. ¹⁵ But if you destroy this people _⌊all at once_⌋,* the nations that will have heard your message will say, ¹⁶ 'Yahweh was unable to bring this people in the land that he swore by an oath, and he slaughtered them in the desert.' ¹⁷ But now, please, let the power of my Lord be great, just has you spoke, ¹⁸ 'Yahweh is _⌊slow to anger_⌋* and great of loyal love, _⌊forgiving_⌋* sin and rebellion; but surely he leaves nothing unpunished, visiting the sin of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generations.' ¹⁹ Please forgive the sin of this people according to the greatness of your loyal love, just as you _⌊forgave_⌋* this people, from Egypt until now." ²⁰ Yahweh said, "I have forgiven them according to your word;

²¹ "Separate yourselves from the midst of this community, that I can destroy them in a moment." ²² And they fell on their faces, and they said, "God, God of the spirits of all flesh, will one man sin and you become angry toward the entire community?"

⁴⁷ And so Aaron took it just as Moses had spoken, and he ran into the midst of the assembly, for behold, the plague had begun among the people; so he gave the incense and made atonement for the people. ⁴⁸ He stood between the dead and between the living, and the plague was stopped.

⁹ So Samuel took a single _⌊nursing lamb_⌋* and sacrificed it as a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Then Samuel cried out to Yahweh on behalf of Israel, and Yahweh answered him. ¹⁰ _⌊While_⌋* Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near for the battle against Israel. But Yahweh thundered against the Philistines with a great noise on that day and threw them into confusion so that they were defeated before Israel. ¹¹ Then the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and they struck them down as far as below Beth Car. ¹² So Samuel took a single stone and put it between Mizpah and Shen, and he named it Ebenezer and said, "Up to here Yahweh has helped us."

¹⁸ So Samuel called out to Yahweh, and Yahweh brought thunder and rain that same day, so all the people feared Yahweh and Samuel greatly. ¹⁹ Then all the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God so that we will not die, because we have added to all our sins by requesting a king for ourselves." ²⁰ And Samuel said to the people, "Do not fear! You have done all this evil; only do not turn aside from _⌊following_⌋* Yahweh. But you must serve Yahweh with all your heart. ²¹ And do not turn aside after the triviality,* which have no value and cannot deliver, for they are triviality. ²² For Yahweh will not forsake his people for the sake of his great name, because Yahweh has decided to make you his own people. ²³ Also, as for me, far be it from me _⌊that I should sin_⌋* against Yahweh by ceasing to pray for you! I will instruct you in the good and righteous way. ²⁴ Only fear Yahweh and serve him faithfully with all of your heart. For consider _⌊what great things he has done for you_⌋.*

¹ Then Yahweh said to me, "Even if Moses and Samuel stood _⌊before me_⌋,* my heart would not be to this people. Send them away from my _⌊sight_⌋,* and let them go out.

⁹ And Yahweh said to Moses, "Look, I am going to come to you in _⌊a thick cloud_⌋* in order that the people will hear when I speak with you and will also trust in you forever." And Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.

⁹ _⌊And_⌋* at the entering of Moses into the tent the column of cloud would descend and stand at the opening of the tent, and he would speak with Moses.

¹⁶ And Moses did according to all that Yahweh had commanded him; so he did.

⁵ And Yahweh went down in a column of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tent, and he called Aaron and Miriam, and the two of them went,

¹⁵ Then Moses became angry, and he said to Yahweh, "Do not notice their grain offering. I have not offered one donkey from them, and I have not mistreated one of them."

⁵ See, I now teach* you rules and regulations just as Yahweh my God has commanded me, to observe them just so in the midst of the land where you are going, to take possession of it.

⁹ The one saying of his father and of his mother, 'I have not regarded them,' and his brothers he did not acknowledge, and his children* he did not know, but rather they observed your word, and your covenant they kept.

³ Here I am! Testify against me before Yahweh and before his anointed one! Whose ox have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or whom have I exploited? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, that I may shut my eyes _⌊regarding_⌋* him?-then I will restore it to you." ⁴ Then they said, "You have not exploited us or oppressed us, and you have not taken anything from the hand of anyone." ⁵ So he said to them, "Yahweh is witness against you, and his anointed one is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." Then they said, "He is witness."

²⁸ He sent darkness and made it dark, and they did not rebel against his words.

⁹ He who turns his ear from listening to instruction, even his prayer is an abomination.

² who was faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses also was in his household.*

²¹ Dear friends, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God, ²² and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing _⌊in his sight_⌋*.

² And Aaron said to them, "Take off the rings of gold that are on the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring it to me."

³⁴ And now go, lead the people to where I spoke to you. Look, my angel will go before you, and on the day when I punish I will punish them for their sin." ³⁵ And Yahweh afflicted the people because they had made the bull calf that Aaron had made.

³³ While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was consumed, Yahweh was angry with the people, and Yahweh struck a very great plague among the people. ³⁴ And he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah* because they buried the people that _⌊were greedy_⌋.*

²⁰ Yahweh said, "I have forgiven them according to your word; ²¹ but as I am alive, the glory of Yahweh will fill all the earth. ²² But because all the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the desert yet tested me these ten times and did not listen to my voice, ²³ they will not see the land that I swore by oath to their ancestors,* and all those who despised me will not see it. ²⁴ But my servant Caleb, because another spirit was with him, he remained true after me, and I will bring him into the land that _⌊he entered_⌋,* and his offspring will take possession of it. ²⁵ And the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys; tomorrow turn and set out for the desert by way of the _⌊Red Sea_⌋."* ²⁶ And Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ²⁷ "How long will I bear this evil community who are grumbling against me? I have heard the grumbling of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* which _⌊they are making_⌋* against me. ²⁸ Say to them, 'Surely as I live,' _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh, 'just as you spoke _⌊in my hearing_⌋,* so I will do to you; ²⁹ in this desert your corpses will fall, and all your counted ones, according to all your number, from _⌊twenty years old_⌋* and above who grumbled against me. ³⁰ You yourselves will not come into the land that _⌊I swore by oath_⌋* to make you to dwell in it, but Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. ³¹ But your little children, whom you said would be plunder, I will bring them, and they will know the land that you rejected. ³² But for you, all your corpses will fall in this desert. ³³ And your children will be shepherds in the desert forty years,* and you will bear your unfaithfulness until _⌊all your corpses have fallen_⌋* in the desert. ³⁴ According to the number of the days* that you explored the land, forty days,* _⌊a day for each year_⌋,* you will bear your sins forty years,* and you will know my opposition.'

¹² But Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you have not trusted in me, to regard me as holy _⌊in the sight of_⌋* the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given to them."

²⁴ "Let Aaron be gathered to his people; he will not come into the land that I have given to the _⌊Israelites_⌋* because you rebelled against _⌊my word_⌋* at the waters of Meribah.

²⁶ But Yahweh was very angry with me because of you, and he would not listen to me, and Yahweh said, '_⌊Enough of that from you_⌋!* You shall not speak to me any longer about this matter!

¹⁹ For _⌊I was in dread_⌋* from being in the presence of the anger and the wrath with which Yahweh was angry with you so as to destroy you, but Yahweh listened to me also _⌊at that time_⌋.* ²⁰ And with Aaron Yahweh was _⌊angry enough_⌋* to destroy him, and I prayed also for Aaron at that time.

³³ But I will not break off my loyal love from him, and I will not be false against my faithfulness.

²⁹ Look! This alone I found: God made mankind upright, but they have devised many schemes."

²⁸ You must not be afraid, my servant Jacob," _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh, "for I am with you. For I will make a complete destruction in all the nations where I scattered you, but you I will not make a complete destruction, though I will chastise you to the measure, and I will certainly not leave you unpunished."

⁷ I have said, 'Surely she will fear me; she will accept discipline. Then her dwelling place will not be cut down, nor all that I have brought upon her.' Surely they rise early; they make all their deeds corrupt.

²¹ For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasoning, and their senseless hearts were darkened.

¹ A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.*
Yahweh is great and very worthy of praise in the city of our God, in his _⌊holy mountain_⌋.* ² Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is _⌊Mount Zion_⌋,* _⌊in the far north_⌋,* the city of the great king.

¹ Of the sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.*
His foundation is on the holy mountains. ² Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. ³ Glorious things are spoken about* you, O city of God. Selah

⁵ Exalt Yahweh our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy.

¹⁶ But Yahweh of hosts is exalted by justice, and the holy God shows himself holy by righteousness.

¹⁵ For thus says the high and lofty one who resides forever, and whose name is holy:
"I reside in a high and holy place, and with the _⌊contrite_⌋* and humble of spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the _⌊contrite_⌋.*

¹² Are you not from of old, O Yahweh my God, my Holy One? You* shall not die. O Yahweh, you have marked them* for judgment; O Rock, you have established them* for reproof.

⁴⁹ because the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

¹⁵ but as the one who called you is holy, you yourselves be holy in all your conduct, ¹⁶ for it is written, "You will be holy, because I am* holy."**

⁷ "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
"This is what the holy one, the true one, the one who has the key of David, the one who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one can open, says:
