⁴ And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: ⁵ And he spoke unto Korach and unto all his company, saying, Tomorrow,—then will the Lord make known who is his, and who is holy, that he may cause them to come near unto him; and him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near unto him. ⁶ This do ye: Take yourselves censers, Korach and all his company; ⁷ And put therein fire, and put upon them incense before the Lord, tomorrow; and it shall be that the man whom the Lord will choose, he shall be the holy one; you assume too much, ye sons of Levi. ⁸ And Moses said unto Korach, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: ⁹ It is too little for you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister for them?

¹⁴ Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and thou hast not given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou bore out the eyes of these men? we will not come up. ¹⁵ And this displeased Moses greatly, and he said unto the Lord, Have no respect unto their offering: I have not taken away an ass of any one of them, nor have I done wrong to any one of them. ¹⁶ And Moses said unto Korach, Thou and all thy company, be ye before the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow: ¹⁷ And take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them, and bring ye near before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer. ¹⁸ And they took every man his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereupon; and they stood at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.— ¹⁹ And Korach assembled against them all the congregation unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and the glory of the Lord then appeared unto all the congregation. ²⁰ And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, ²¹ Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and I will make an end of them in a moment. ²² And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, this one man doth sin, and with all the congregation wouldst thou be wroth! ²³ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, ²⁴ Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you away from about the dwelling of Korach, Dathan, and Abiram. ²⁵ And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and there went after him the elders of Israel. ²⁶ And he spoke unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing which belongeth to them, lest ye be destroyed through all their sins. ²⁷ So they got away from the dwelling of Korach, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, standing boldly at the door of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little ones. ²⁸ And Moses said, Through this shall ye know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these deeds; that I have not done them out of my own heart. ²⁹ If these men die as all men die, and if the visitation of all men be visited on them: then hath the Lord not sent me. ³⁰ But if the Lord do create a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertaineth unto them, and they go down alive into the pit: then shall ye understand that these men have provoked the Lord. ³¹ And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground that was under them was cloven asunder: ³² And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korach, and all their goods. ³³ And they went down, they, and all they that appertained to them, alive into the pit; and the earth closed over them, and they disappeared from the midst of the congregation. ³⁴ And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Perhaps the earth may swallow us up also. ³⁵ And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had offered the incense.

²⁸ Of the children of Issachar, by their generations, after their families, by the descent from their fathers, by numbering the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; ²⁹ Those that were numbered of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.

⁵ And those that encamp next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be Nethanel the son of Zuar. ⁶ And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.

¹⁹ And Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son unto Jacob. ²⁰ And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons; and she called his name Zebulun.

¹⁴ And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Yachleel.

³⁰ Of the children of Zebulun, by their generations, after their families, by the descent from their fathers, by numbering the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; ³¹ Those that were numbered of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.

⁷ Then the tribe of Zebulun: and the prince of the children of Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Chelon. ⁸ And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.

⁵¹ And Joseph called the name of the first-born Menasseh: For God said he hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house. ⁵² And the name of the second he called Ephraim; For God said he hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

²⁰ And there were born unto Joseph in the land of Egypt Menasseh and Ephraim, whom Assenath the daughter of Poti-phera’, the priest of On, bore unto him.

⁵ And now thy two sons, who were born unto thee in the land of Egypt, before I came unto thee into Egypt, shall be mine; Ephraim and Menasseh shall be unto me as Reuben and Simeon.

¹³ And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left, and Menasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right, and brought them near unto him. ¹⁴ And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Menasseh’s head; he laid his hands wittingly; although Menasseh was the first-born. ¹⁵ And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who fed me from my first being unto this day, ¹⁶ The angel who redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be called on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. ¹⁷ And when Joseph saw that his father would lay his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he took hold of his father’s hand, to remove it from the head of Ephraim unto the head of Menasseh. ¹⁸ And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father; for this is the first-born, put thy right hand upon his head. ¹⁹ And his father refused, and said, I know, my son, I know, he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. ²⁰ And he blessed them that day, saying, With thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Menasseh: and so he set Ephraim before Menasseh.

¹⁴ And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Menasseh’s head; he laid his hands wittingly; although Menasseh was the first-born.

³⁹ And the children of Machir the son of Menasseh went to Gil’ad, and conquered it, and dispossessed the Emorites who were in it. ⁴⁰ And Moses gave Gil’ad unto Machir the son of Menasseh; and he dwelt therein.

¹ And there came near the chiefs of the divisions of the family of the children of Gil’ad, the son of Machir, the son of Menasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph; and they spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chiefs of the divisions of the children of Israel;

¹⁵ And unto Machir I gave Gil’ad.

¹ And then came the lot for the tribe of Menasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph: to wit, for Machir the first-born of Menasseh, the father of Gil’ad; because he was a man of war, therefore he obtained Gil’ad and Bashan.

¹⁴ They whose root is out of Ephraim were against ‘Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, with thy armies; out of Machir came down lawgivers, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

¹⁴ The sons of Menasseh: Assriel, whom his wife bore; his concubine the Aramitess bore Machir the father of Gil’ad. ¹⁵ And Machir took for wife the sister of Chuppim and Shuppim, whose sister’s name was Ma’achah. And the name of the second was Zelophehad: and Zelophehad had daughters. ¹⁶ And Ma’achah the wife of Machir bore a son, and she called his name Peresh; and the name of his brother was Sheresh; and his sons were Ulam and Rekem. ¹⁷ And the sons of Ulam: Bedan. These were the sons of Gil’ad, the son of Machir, the son of Menasseh. ¹⁸ And his sister Hammolecheth bore Isshod, and Abi’ezer, and Machlah. ¹⁹ And the sons of Shemida’ were, Achyan, and Shechem, and Likchi, and Ani’am.

² There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Menasseh after their families; for the children of Abi’ezer, and for the children of Chelek, and for the children of Assriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Chepher, and for the children of Shemida’: these were the male children of Menasseh the son of Joseph after their families.

¹¹ And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat down under the oak which was in ‘Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abi’ezrite; and Gid’on his son was beating out wheat in the wine-press, to hide it from the Midianites.

²⁴ And Gid’on built there an altar unto the Lord, and called it Adonay-shalom [the Eternal of Peace:] unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi’ezrites.

³⁴ But the Spirit of the Lord endued Gid’on, and he blew the cornet: and Abi’ezer assembled and followed him.

² And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi’ezer?

¹ And there came nigh the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Chepher, the son of Gil’ad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Menasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters, Machlah, No’ah, and Choglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

¹⁰ Even as the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad; ¹¹ And Machlah, Tirzah, and Choglah, and Milcah, and No’ah, the daughters of Zelophehad became the wives of the sons of their uncles. ¹² To persons of the families of the sons of Menasseh the son of Joseph did they become wives, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

³⁴ Of the children of Menasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the descent from their fathers, by numbering the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; ³⁵ Those that were numbered of the tribe of Menasseh, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.

²⁰ And by him shall be the tribe of Menasseh; and the prince of the children of Menasseh shall be Gamliel the son of Pedahzur. ²¹ And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.

²⁰ And the sons of Ephraim: Shuthelach, and Bered his son, and Tachath his son, and El’adah his son, and Tachath his son, ²¹ And Zabad his son, and Shuthelach his son, and ‘Ezer, and El’ad, whom the men of Gath that were born in that land slew, when they came down to take away their cattle.

³² Of the children of Joseph, namely, of the children of Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the descent from their fathers, by numbering the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war. ³³ Those that were numbered of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred.

² And God spoke unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

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.

²¹ And Moses said, Six hundred thousand men on foot is the people, in the midst of whom I am; and yet thou hast said, Flesh will I give them, that they may eat a whole month.

²³ And their children didst thou multiply like the stars of heaven, and then broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst ordered their fathers to enter in to take possession of it.

⁹ Who knoweth not through all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? ¹⁰ He in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all the bodies of men?

¹⁴ Behold, he pulleth down, and there can be no rebuilding: he locketh the prison upon a man, and there can be no opening,

²⁰ He removeth the speech from trusty speakers, and taketh away the intelligence of the aged. ²¹ He poureth contempt upon princes, and the belt of the mighty be looseneth. ²² He layeth open deep things from the midst of darkness, and bringeth out unto light the shadow of death. ²³ He permitteth the nations to become great, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth out the nations, and leadeth them away.

^{20 (77:21)} Thou didst lead like a flock thy people by means of Moses and Aaron.

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:

⁷ And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar unto the Lord, who had appeared unto him.

²³ And Joshua’ took the whole land, all just as the Lord had spoken unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

¹ And these are the countries which the children of Israel obtained as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Elazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the divisions of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for an inheritance unto them,

^{14 (49:15)} Like flocks are they thrust into the nether world; death will feed them; but the upright shall have dominion over them in that morning, and their form wasteth away in the nether world, taken away from their own dwelling.

⁴⁴ And he gave them the lands of nations; and the labor of people they obtained as an inheritance:

²² And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves, and to the strangers that sojourn in the midst of you, who shall have begotten children in the midst of you; and they shall be unto you as the native born among the children of Israel: with you shall they obtain an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

²⁷ And the kingdom and the dominion, and the power over the kingdoms under the whole heaven, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all governments are to worship and obey him.

³ ‘Ataroth, and Dibon, and Ya’zer, and Nimrah, and Cheshbon, and El’aleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Be’on,

⁵ And they said, If we have found grace in thy eyes, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession: do not compel us to go over the Jordan.

⁵⁴ And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families; to the numerous shall ye give the more inheritance, and to the small in number shall ye give the less inheritance: there, where the lot designateth it for him, shall every one’s possessions be; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye divide it among yourselves.

¹⁴ And the children of Joseph spoke unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion as an inheritance, seeing I am a numerous people, to which extent the Lord hath hitherto blessed me?

⁵⁶ By the decision of the lot shall the inheritance of each be divided, according as they are many or few.

¹³ And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall divide among yourselves by lot, which the Lord hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.

² By the lot as their inheritance: as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and the half tribe.

⁶ But you shall make a description of the land in seven parts, and bring it hither to me; and I will cast the lot for you here, before the Lord our God.

¹⁰ And Joshua cast the lot for them in Shiloh before the Lord; and Joshua divided there the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions. ¹¹ And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the boundary of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

¹ And then came forth the second lot for Simeon, for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families; and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.

¹⁰ And then came up the third lot for the children of Zebulun according to their families; and the boundary of their inheritance extended up to Sarid;

¹¹ And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kehath, and Merari.

¹⁶ And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, and Kehath, and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi were one hundred and thirty and seven years. ¹⁷ The sons of Gershon: Libni, and Shimi, according to their families. ¹⁸ And the sons of Kehath: Amram, and Yizhar, and Chebron, and ‘Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kehath were one hundred and thirty and three years. ¹⁹ And the sons of Merari: Machli and Mushi; these are the families of Levi according to their generations.

¹ And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, on the day that the Lord spoke with Moses on mount Sinai. ² And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Elazar, and Ithamar. ³ These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, who were consecrated to minister as priests. ⁴ And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered a strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Elazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the life-time of Aaron their father.

² Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and an open space for the cities round about them shall ye give also unto the Levites. ³ And the cities shall serve them to dwell in; and their open spaces shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their requirements.

^{1 (5:27)} The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kehath, and Merari.

^{16 (6:1)} The sons of Levi: Gershom, Kehath, and Merari. ^{17 (6:2)} And these are the names of the sons of Gershom: Libni, and Shim’i. ^{18 (6:3)} And the sons of Kehath were, ‘Amram, and Yizhar, and Chebron, and ‘Uzziel. ^{19 (6:4)} The sons of Merari: Machli, and Mushi.

²⁰ And Amram took himself Yochebed his aunt for wife; and she bore unto him Aaron and Moses; and the years of the life of Amram were one hundred and thirty and seven years.

¹⁷ And these were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kehath, and Merari. ¹⁸ And these are the names of the sons of Gershon after their families: Libni, and Shimi. ¹⁹ And the sons of Kehath after their families: ‘Amram, and Yizhar, Chebron, and ‘Uzziel. ²⁰ And the sons of Merari after their families: Machli, and Mushi; these are the families of the Levites according to their family divisions. ²¹ Of Gershon: the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites; these are the families of the Gershunites.

¹ Now Korach, the son of Yizhar, the son of Kehath, the son of Levi, was presumptuous, together with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben:

¹ And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took a daughter of Levi. ² And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

¹² The nakedness of thy father’s sister shalt thou not uncover: she is thy father’s near kinswoman.

² And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Elazar, and Ithamar.

⁸ And they shall keep all the vessels of the tent of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

¹ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each his censer, and they put therein fire, and put thereon incense: and they brought near before the Lord a strange fire, which he had not commanded them. ² And there went out a fire from before the Lord, and consumed them, and they died before the Lord.

⁴ And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered a strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Elazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the life-time of Aaron their father.

¹ And the divisions of the sons of Aaron were: The sons of Aaron were Nadab, and Abihu, El’azar, and Ithamar. ² But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they had no children: and El’azar and Ithamar became priests.

⁴⁷ But the Levites, after the tribe of their fathers, were not numbered among them.

⁴⁹ Only the tribe of Levi shalt thou not number, and their sum shalt thou not take, among the children of Israel;

³⁹ All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses numbered with Aaron, at the order of the Lord, according to their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

²⁷ By the order of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershunites, in all their carrying, and in all their service: and ye shall designate unto them in charge all which they have to carry.

⁴⁸ Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and eighty.

²⁰ And the Lord said unto Aaron, In their land shalt thou have no inheritance, and any portion shalt thou not have among them: I am thy portion and thy inheritance among the children of Israel. ²¹ And to the children of Levi, behold, I have given every tithe in Israel, for an inheritance, in lieu of their service which they render, the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. ²² And the children of Israel shall not henceforth come nigh unto the tabernacle of the congregation, to bear sin, to die thereby. ²³ But they of the tribe of Levi themselves shall perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: a statute for ever shall it be throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel shall they not possess any inheritance. ²⁴ But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering unto the Lord, have I given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore have I said unto them, Among the children of Israel shall they obtain no inheritance.

² Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and an open space for the cities round about them shall ye give also unto the Levites. ³ And the cities shall serve them to dwell in; and their open spaces shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their requirements. ⁴ And the open spaces of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. ⁵ And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, with the city in the midst: this shall be to them the open spaces of the cities. ⁶ And the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall appoint that the manslayer may flee thither; and in addition to them shall ye give forty and two cities. ⁷ All the cities which ye shall thus give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities, they with their open spaces. ⁸ And the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the tribe that hath many shall ye give many; but from the one that hath few shall ye give few: every one according to its inheritance which it may inherit shall give of its cities unto the Levites.

⁹ Therefore was not assigned unto Levi any portion or inheritance with his brethren: the Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord thy God hath spoken to him.

²⁷ And the Levite, who is within thy gates, him shalt thou not forsake; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee. ²⁸ At the end of three years shalt thou bring forth all the tithe of thy produce in the same year, and thou shalt lay it down within thy gates: ²⁹ And then shall come the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, with the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, and they shall eat and be satisfied; in order that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.

¹ The priests, the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: the fire-offerings of the Lord, and his inheritance shall they consume. ² But any inheritance shall he not have among his brethren: the Lord is his inheritance, as he hath spoken unto him.

¹⁴ Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance: the fire-offerings of the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he hath spoken unto them.

³³ But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the Lord the God of Israel is himself their inheritance, as he hath spoken unto them.

³ For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but unto the Levites he had given no inheritance among them.

³ And Moses with El’azar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,

¹ And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after their going out of the land of Egypt, saying, ² Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the descent from their fathers, by numbering the names, every male according to their polls;

²⁹ In this wilderness shall your carcasses fall, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward; ye who have murmured against me;

¹⁴ And the time which we came from Kadesh-barnea’, until we had passed over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were spent from out the midst of the camp, as the Lord had sworn unto them. ¹⁵ And also the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp; until they were spent.

³ Your own eyes have seen that which the Lord hath done because of Baal-peor; for every man that followed Baal-peor, him the Lord thy God hath destroyed from the midst of thee. ⁴ But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God, are alive, every one of you, this day.

²³ Shall surely not see the land which I have sworn unto their fathers, yea all those that have provoked me shall not see it. ²⁴ But my servant Caleb, as a reward that he had another spirit with him, and followed me fully,—therefore will I bring him into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

²⁸ Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you: ²⁹ In this wilderness shall your carcasses fall, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward; ye who have murmured against me; ³⁰ Truly ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I have lifted up my hand to let you dwell therein; save Caleb the son of Yephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

³⁵ I the Lord have spoken it, surely, this will I do unto all this evil congregation that have assembled against me: in this wilderness shall they be spent, and therein shall they die.
