¹¹ And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Yaazanyahu the son of Shaphan standing in the midst of them, were standing before them, and every man had his censer in his hand; and a thick curling cloud of incense was ascending upward.

⁵ And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man were building.

³ And Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,

²² And when he had left off talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

²⁰ And the Lord said, Because the cry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous: ²¹ I will go down now, and see if they have done according to the cry against them, which is come unto me, destruction shall come upon them; and if not, I will know it. ²² And the men turned their faces from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.

³³ And the Lord went away, when he had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place.

²² And let them judge the people at all times; and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves: so shall it be easier for thee, when they shall bear with thee.

¹¹ And they shall be ready against the third day; for on the third day will the Lord come down, before the eyes of all the people, upon mount Sinai.

²⁰ And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount; and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount, and Moses went up.

⁵ And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed, by name, the Lord.

²⁵ And the Lord came down in a cloud and spoke unto him; and he took some of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did not so any more.

⁵ And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.

⁸ Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord doth he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

¹⁸ And the Lord said unto Moses, Take to thyself Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom there is a spirit, and thou shalt lay thy hand upon him;

⁶ And the Spirit of the Lord will suddenly come over thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and thou shalt be changed into another man.

⁹ And it came to pass, when they passed over, that Elijah said unto Elisha’, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I shall be taken away from thee. And Elisha’ said, Let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit upon me.

¹⁵ And when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho, at a distance, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah Doth rest on Elisha’. And they came forth to meet him, and bowed themselves unto him to the ground.

²⁰ And thy good spirit thou gavest to make them intelligent, and thy manna thou withheldest not from their mouth, and water thou gavest them for their thirst.

³ For as I pour water upon the thirsty land, and rain-droppings upon the dry ground: so will I pour my spirit over thy seed, and my blessing over thy offspring.

²⁰ But unto Zion shall come the redeemer, and unto those who return from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. ²¹ And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord, My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy children, nor out of the mouth of thy children’s children, saith the Lord, from henceforth and unto all eternity.

^{28 (3:1)} And it shall come to pass after this, that I will pour out my spirit over all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams: your young men shall see visions:

² Then said Jacob unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments.

³ And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pot, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. ⁴ Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will let rain for you bread from heaven; and the people shall go out and gather a certain portion every day, in order that I may prove it, whether it will walk in my law, or not. ⁵ And it shall come to pass, on the sixth day, when they prepare what they shall have brought in, that it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily. ⁶ And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At evening, then shall ye know that it is the Lord who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt: ⁷ And in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of the Lord; since he heareth your murmurings against the Lord; and what are we, that ye should murmur against us?

¹⁰ And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes.

¹⁵ And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day; approach not unto a woman.

⁴ And the mixed multitude that was among them felt a lustful longing: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who will give us flesh to eat? ⁵ We remember the fish, which we could eat in Egypt for naught; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic; ⁶ But now our soul is faint: there is nothing at all, only to the manna are our eyes directed.

² And all the people murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them, Oh who would grant that we had died in the land of Egypt! or that we might but die in this wilderness! ³ And wherefore doth the Lord bring us unto yonder land, to fall by the sword? that our wives and our children may become a prey? is it not better for us to return to Egypt?

¹³ Rise up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow; for thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, An accursed thing is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand up before thy enemies, until ye have removed the accursed from among you.

² And the people came to Beth-el, and abode there till the evening, before God, and they lifted up their voices, and wept with a great lamentation;

⁸ And Moses said, When the Lord giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to the full; since the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him:—what are we then? not against us are your murmurings, but against the Lord.

¹³ And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.

²⁷ And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be among us as a witness; for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spoke unto us: it shall be therefore as a witness against you, that ye may not deny your God.

³⁰ Therefore saith the Lord the God of Israel, I had indeed said, Thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever; but now, saith the Lord, Be it far from me; for those that honor me will I honor, and those that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

¹⁹ And ye for your part have this day rejected your God, he who hath saved you out of all your misfortunes and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nevertheless, thou must set a king over us: and now present yourselves before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your thousands.

¹⁰ And now, the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever; for the reason that thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriyah the Hittite to be thy wife.

²⁷ And he let rain upon them flesh as plentiful as the dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea; ²⁸ And he let them fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. ²⁹ And they ate, and were greatly satisfied, and what they longed for he brought unto them. ³⁰ They were not estranged from their longing, yet was their food in their mouth:

¹⁵ And he gave them what they had asked; but sent dryness into their soul.

⁷ The satisfied soul treadeth under foot fine honey; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

⁶ A son honoreth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is my honor? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name; and ye say, wherein have we despised thy name?

² And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

³⁷ And the children of Israel journeyed from Ra’meses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.

²⁶ A bekah for every head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

⁴⁶ Even all they that were numbered, were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

³² These are those that were numbered of the children of Israel according to their family divisions: and all those that were numbered of the camps, according to their armies, were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

² Then answered the lord of the king, on whose hand he used to lean, the man of God, and said, Behold, will the Lord make windows in the heavens, that this thing shall be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but thereof shalt thou not eat.

¹⁴ Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, at this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.

¹⁹ God is not a man, that he should lie; nor a son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? and hath he spoken, and shall he not fulfill it?

¹⁷ And the king had appointed the lord on whose hand he used to lean to have the charge of the gate; and the people trod him down in the gate, and he died; as the man of God had spoken, which he spoke when the king came down to him. ¹⁸ And it came to pass as the man of God was speaking to the king, saying, Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be about this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria: ¹⁹ That the Lord had answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if even the Lord were to make windows in the heavens, would such a thing be? And he had said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but thereof shalt thou not eat.

⁴¹ Yea, they once more tempted God, and set limits to the Holy One of Israel.

² Why did I come and no man was there, did I call, with none to answer? hath my hand become too short for redeeming? or is there no power in me to deliver? behold, through my threatening I can dry up the sea, I can change the rivers into a wilderness: their fish stink for want of water, and die for thirst.

¹ Behold, the Lord’s hand is not too short to save; neither his ear too heavy for hearing;

²⁸ Yet some that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, but few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, that are come into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand firm, mine, or theirs. ²⁹ And this shall be unto you the sign, saith the Lord, that I will inflict punishment on you in this place, in order that ye may know that my words shall surely stand firm against you for evil:

²⁵ For I am the Lord,—I do speak, and whatever word I do speak shall be done; it shall not be delayed any more; for in your days, O rebellious family, will I speak the word, and I will execute it, saith the Lord Eternal.

¹⁴ I the Lord have spoken it; it cometh to pass, and I will do it; I will not recall my decree, and I will not have pity, nor will I repent: according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall men judge thee, saith the Lord Eternal.

⁷ Shall it be said in the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of the Lord straightened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

¹⁶ And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and its officers; and take them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall stand there with thee.

²⁶ And there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of those that were written down, but they had not gone out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.

³⁸ For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and a fire was by night on it, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeyings.

¹⁷ And I will come down and speak with thee there: and I will take some of the spirit which is upon thee, and I will put it upon them; and they shall bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou shalt not bear it by thyself alone.

⁵ After that shalt thou come to the hill of God, where the outposts of the Philistines are; and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou wilt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high-place, having before them a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp; and they will be prophesying; ⁶ And the Spirit of the Lord will suddenly come over thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and thou shalt be changed into another man.

¹⁰ And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came suddenly over him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.

²⁰ And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as superintendent over them: then came upon the messengers of Saul the spirit of God, and they also prophesied. ²¹ And when it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and these prophesied likewise. And Saul sent again messengers the third time, and these also prophesied. ²² Then went he himself also to Ramah, and came as far as the great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And some one said, Behold, they are at Nayoth near Ramah. ²³ And he went thither to Nayoth near Ramah: and there came upon him also the Spirit of God, and he went on, and prophesied as he went, until he came to Nayoth near Ramah. ²⁴ And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied himself before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore people are in the habit of saying, Is Saul too among the prophets?

⁷ In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto them.

⁵ And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I am not able to enter into the house of the Lord: ⁶ Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord before the ears of the people in the house of the Lord on the fast-day; and also before the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities shalt thou read them.

^{28 (3:1)} And it shall come to pass after this, that I will pour out my spirit over all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams: your young men shall see visions: ^{29 (3:2)} And also over the men-servants and over the maid-servants in those days will I pour out my spirit.

¹¹ And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

¹³ And he said, Pardon, O Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wouldst send. ¹⁴ And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well; and also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee; and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

²² And they inquired again of the Lord, Is the man yet come hither? And the Lord said, Behold, he hath hidden himself among the vessels.

²⁶ Nevertheless Saul spoke not the least on that day; for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; because he hath not yet purified himself.

⁶ And I said, Ah, Lord Eternal! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am but a lad.

⁵ And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I am not able to enter into the house of the Lord:

⁹ And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose for us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.

¹¹ And the Lord spoke unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend; and then he returned into the camp; but his servant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tent.

¹ And it came to pass after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke unto Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, saying,

¹³ And Moses stretched forth his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord urged an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; when it was morning, the east wind bore along the locusts.

¹⁹ And the Lord turned a very strong west wind, which bore away the locusts, and cast them into the Red Sea; there was not left one locust in all the boundary of Egypt.

¹⁰ Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in mighty waters.

²⁶ He caused an east wind to pass along the heavens; and he led forth by his strength the south wind. ²⁷ And he let rain upon them flesh as plentiful as the dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea; ²⁸ And he let them fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. ²⁹ And they ate, and were greatly satisfied, and what they longed for he brought unto them.

⁷ He causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with the rain; he bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.

³⁶ But the omer is a tenth part of an ephah.

¹¹ The ephah and the bath shall contain the same quantity, that the bath may contain the tenth part of a chomer, and the ephah the tenth part of a chomer: after the chomer shall the measure of contents be.

^{49 (17:14)} And those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those that had died about the matter of Korach.

⁹ And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

²⁷ The Lord will smite thee with the inflammatory disease of Egypt, and with the hemorrhoids, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou shalt not be able to be healed.

³⁰ They were not estranged from their longing, yet was their food in their mouth: ³¹ When the wrath of God ascended against them, and he slew some of the fattest of them, and the young men of Israel did he strike down.

¹⁴ And they felt a lustful longing in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. ¹⁵ And he gave them what they had asked; but sent dryness into their soul.

¹⁶ And they removed from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in Kibroth-hattaavah.

¹⁶ And afterward the people removed from Chazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

¹⁷ And they removed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped in Chazeroth.

¹ These are the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side of the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Chazeroth, and Di-zahab.
