¹ Again the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, in the tabernacle of the testimony, on the first day of the second month, in the second year of their coming out of the land of Egypt, and said,

⁴⁰ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Review all the male first born of the children of Israel, from one month old and upwards, and take the number by name. ⁴¹ And thou shalt take the Levites for me; I the Lord; instead of all the first born sons of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings of the cattle belonging to the children of Israel. ⁴² So Moses reviewed, in the manner the Lord commanded, all the male first born among the Israelites; ⁴³ and all the first born males, numbered by name, from one month old and upwards, were twenty two thousand two hundred and seventy three.

⁴⁷ thou shalt take from the first born of the children of Israel, five shekels a poll. According to the holy didrachm, thou shall receive twenty oboli for a shekel.

² Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When a man or a woman shall make a solemn vow to preserve the strictest purity for the Lord,

¹⁴ Every thing which is devoted by the children of Israel shall belong to thee.

¹⁴ Every thing which is devoted by the children of Israel shall belong to thee. ¹⁵ And every firstling of all flesh, which they bring for the Lord, whether of man or beast, shall belong to thee: but the first born of man shall be redeemed, and thou shalt cause them to redeem the firstlings of all cattle which are not clean. ¹⁶ Now the redemption of the former, at a month old, shall be the set price of five shekels after the holy shekel, which is twenty oboli:

They are hallowed; therefore thou shalt pour out their blood before the altar, and offer their suet as an offering of homage, for a smell of fragrance for the Lord.

²¹ And behold I have given the Levites all the tenth in Israel, as a portion for their services. Inasmuch as they are to perform service at the tabernacle of the testimony, ²² and the children of Israel are no more to come to the tabernacle of the testimony, to bear a sin which incurreth death, ²³ but the Levites themselves are to perform the service of the tabernacle, and to bear their sins, this shall be a perpetual due for their generations, and they shall have no inheritance among the children of Israel. ²⁴ Because I have given the Levites for their portion the tithes of the children of Israel, which they set apart for the Lord, as a dedication, therefore I have said to them, they shall have no lot of inheritance among the Israelites.

² whereupon Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, I will devote them and their cities to destruction.

² whereupon Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, I will devote them and their cities to destruction. ³ And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up these Chananites into their hands, and they anathematised them and their cities, and called the name of that place Anathema.

³ And if a woman vow to the Lord, or bind herself with a solemn promise, in her father's house, in her youth;

⁴⁵ these are the testimonies, and the rules of rectitude, and the judgments, which Moses delivered in his speech to the Israelites, after they came out of the land of Egypt

¹ Now when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into that land, to which thou art going, there to possess it, and hath removed from before thee mighty nations; the Chettite, and the Gergasite, and the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pheresite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, seven nations, more numerous, and stronger than you; ² When the Lord thy God shall deliver them into thy hands, thou shalt smite them; thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt not make a covenant with them. You shall neither shew them mercy,

⁵ but you shall seek out and come to the place, which the Lord thy God shall make choice of, in one of your cities, to put his name there, and to be invoked; ⁶ and to that place you shall bring your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your oblations, and your vows, and your free will offerings, and your thank offerings, and the firstlings of your herds, and flocks;

¹⁵ thou shalt surely destroy all the inhabitants of that land, with the slaughter of the sword. With an Anathema thou shalt devote to destruction, it and all that are in it. ¹⁶ And thou shalt collect all the spoils of it into the streets thereof, and burn with fire the city, and all the spoils thereof, with all the inhabitants, in the sight of the Lord thy God. And it shall be uninhabited for ever. It shall never be rebuilt any more; ¹⁷ nor shall any thing of what is devoted to destruction cleave to thy hand, that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his wrath, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion on thee, and multiply thee, in the manner he solemnly promised thy fathers,

²² Thou shalt set apart the tenth of all the increase of thy seed, the product of thy field year after year; ²³ and this thou shalt eat in the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse, for his name to be there invoked. Thither you shall bring the tenths of thy corn, and of thy wine, and thine oil and the firstlings of thy kine, and of thy flocks, that thou mayst learn to fear the Lord thy God always.

¹⁹ every firstling of thy herds, and thy flocks, even all the males, thou shalt dedicate to the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not work a firstling bull, nor shear the firstlings of thy flock.

¹⁶ Of these you shall save none alive that breatheth: ¹⁷ but, with an Anathema, thou shalt devote to destruction the Chettite and the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Gergasite, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee;

¹⁸ There shall not be a prostitute among the daughters of Israel, nor shall any of the Israelites be a votary of prostitution. Thou shalt not bring the hire of an harlot, nor the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord, for any vow, for both are an abomination to the Lord thy God.

²¹ If thou vowest a vow to the Lord thy God, thou shalt not delay to pay it; for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be a sin in thee. ²² If thou dost not chuse to make a vow, it is no sin in thee. ²³ Thou must be careful of what have proceeded from thy lips; and offer, in the manner thou hast vowed to the Lord thy God, the gift which thou hast promised with thy mouth.

¹⁹ Therefore when the Lord thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies around thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for a possession, thou shalt blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven. Thou must not forget.

¹⁷ And this city shall be an Anathema. It, and all that are in it, shall be devoted to the Lord of Sabaoth; save Rahab the harlot. Her you shall save alive, and all that are in her house.

¹⁷ And this city shall be an Anathema. It, and all that are in it, shall be devoted to the Lord of Sabaoth; save Rahab the harlot. Her you shall save alive, and all that are in her house. ¹⁸ But be you very careful to abstain from the Anathema, lest peradventure you through covetousness, take something of what is devoted, and make the camp of the Israelites an Anathema, and destroy us. ¹⁹ All the silver, and the gold, and the brass, and the iron, shall be consecrated to the Lord, and carried to the Lord's treasury.

²⁶ And on that day Joshua uttered an imprecation before the Lord, saying, Cursed be the man who shall rebuild this city. With his first born let him lay the foundation, and with his youngest son erect its gates.

¹ But the children of Israel committed a great trespass. They set apart for themselves some of the Anathema. Achar son of Charmi, son of Zambri, son of Zara, of the tribe of Juda, had taken some of what was devoted, and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel;

¹¹ This people hath sinned, and transgressed the covenant which I made with them. They have stolen some of what was devoted, and put it among their stuff; ¹² therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before the face of their enemies. They shall turn back before their enemies, because they are become devoted. I will no more be with you, unless you remove the Anathema from among you. ¹³ Arise, hallow the people, and order them to hallow themselves, against to-morrow. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, The Anathema is among you. You cannot stand before your enemies, until you remove the Anathema from among you.

²⁵ Joshua said to Achar, Why hast thou destroyed us? The Lord destroy thee, as at this day! Then all Israel stoned him with stones.

³⁰ And Jephthae vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If thou deliver the children of Ammon into my hand, ³¹ it shall be, that whosoever cometh from the door of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall be for the Lord. Him will I dedicate as a whole burnt offering.

³⁹ And at the end of two months she returned to her father and he performed with her his vow, which he had vowed; so she knew not a man.

⁵ Then the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who came not up before the Lord at the general assembly? For they had denounced the great curse against those who came not up before the Lord to Massepha, saying, Let him assuredly be put to death.

¹¹ And this you shall do, You shall devote to destruction every male, and every woman who hath cohabited with man:

¹⁸ for we cannot give them any of our daughters for wives; for we have sworn among the children of Israel, saying, Cursed be the man who giveth a wife to a Benjaminite.

¹¹ And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, Adonai, Lord, Eloe Sabbaoth! If thou wilt look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and give thy handmaid a man child, I will dedicate him before thee, as a gift to the day of his death; and he shall not drink wine, nor fermented liquor, nor shall a razor come on his head.

²⁸ therefore I dedicate him to the Lord, all the days of his life, as a loan to the Lord. Then she said,

²⁴ But Saul was guilty of a great imprudence that day; for he uttered an imprecation to the people, saying, Cursed be the man who eateth bread till evening, that I may take vengeance on mine enemy; so that none of the people tasted bread, though all the country was dining. ²⁵ Nay, though the forest Jaal abounded with honey, on the face of the ground, ²⁶ and the people entered that apiary; yet behold they went on talking, and behold there was not one who put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath of the Lord. ²⁷ But Jonathan did not hear when his father adjured the people, therefore he stretched forth the end of the sceptre in his hand, and stuck it into a honey-comb, and when he put his hand to his mouth, his eyes brightened up. ²⁸ And one of the people addressing him said, Thy father solemnly adjured the people saying, Cursed be the man who eateth bread this day, so the people are become faint.

³⁸ Then Saul said, Present here all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin hath been done this day; ³⁹ for as the Lord liveth who hath saved Israel, if the answer be given against Jonathan my son, he shall surely be put to death. But there was not one of the people who answered. ⁴⁰ Then he said to all the men of Israel, You shall be one lot, and I and my son Jonathan shall be the other lot. And the people said to Saul, Do what seemeth good in thy sight. ⁴¹ Then Saul said, Lord the God of Israel, why hast thou not answered thy servant this day? If the fault be in me, or in Jonathan my son, Lord God of Israel make us manifest. And when he said these words, Give I beseech thee to thy people Israel, Give I beseech thee Sanctity, the lot fell on Jonathan and Saul; and the people escaped. ⁴² Then Saul said, Cast the lot between me, and Jonathan my son, and against whomsoever the Lord shall decide by lot, let him be put to death. But the people said to Saul, This is not confirmed. But Saul prevailed over the people, so they cast the lot between him and his son Jonathan; and the lot fell on Jonathan. ⁴³ Thereupon Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me; what hast thou done? And when Jonathan told him, and said, I just tasted a little honey with the end of the sceptre which was in my hand, and behold I must die; ⁴⁴ Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, but thou shalt surely die this day. ⁴⁵ Upon this the people said to Saul, Shall he this day be put to death who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? As the Lord liveth there shall not a hair of his head fall to the ground. Because the people of God had that day performed exploits, therefore the people prayed for Jonathan that day, and he did not die.

³ Now therefore go, and smite Amelek, and Jerim, and all that belong to him. Thou shalt not spare one of him but utterly destroy him. Having devoted him and all belonging to him to destruction, thou shalt spare none, but shalt slay man and woman, infant and suckling, herds and flocks, camels and asses.

¹⁸ and the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said to thee, Go and destroy utterly. Thou shalt slay those who have sinned against me; namely Amelek; and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast totally destroyed them.

¹⁸ and the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said to thee, Go and destroy utterly. Thou shalt slay those who have sinned against me; namely Amelek; and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast totally destroyed them. ¹⁹ Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord, but rush upon the spoil, and do evil in the sight of the Lord? ²⁰ And Saul said to Samuel, Because I hearkened to the voice of the people. But I have gone the way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag king of Amelek, and utterly destroyed Amelek, ²¹ and the people have taken of the spoils, flocks and herds, as first fruits of the destruction, to sacrifice them before the Lord our God, at Galgal. ²² And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in whole burnt offerings, and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold obedience is better than good sacrifice; and to hearken, is better than the fat of rams. ²³ Because divination is a sin, the consulting Theraphin bringeth sorrow and distress: because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, therefore the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.

³² Samuel said, Bring before me Agag the king of Amelek. And when Agag came before him, trembling, Agag said, Ah! how bitter is death! ³³ Whereupon Samuel said to Agag, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be made childless among women. So Samuel slew Agag before the Lord at Galgal.

⁴ Though Joas said to the priests, With regard to all the money arising from things consecrated, the income of the house of the Lord, the money of estimation at which every man is rated, and all the money which it may come into any man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord,

⁵ And soon as he published the order, Israel brought, in abundance, dedications of corn and wine, and oil and honey. Both the children of Israel and of Juda, brought abundantly the productions of the field, and all the tythes. ⁶ And they who dwelt in the cities of Juda brought the tythe of cattle and sheep, and the tythe of goats, and dedicated them to the Lord their God. And what they brought was stored up in heaps.

¹² they stored up therein the dedications and the tythes for a common stock. And over them Chonenias the Levite, was overseer, and his brother Semei was his deputy.

⁸ and that whoever did not come within three days, according to the order of the chiefs and the elders, all his substance should be anathematised, and he himself should be excommunicated from the congregation of the captivity.

³⁷ and that we will bring the dedications of our corn including the fruit of trees, and of wine and oil to the stores of the house of God for the priests; and the tythe of our land for the Levites. But the Levites themselves shall receive the tythes in all the cities of our bondage; ³⁸ and the priest, the son of Aaron, shall share with the Levite in the Levite's tythe; and the Levites shall carry the tythe of their tythe to the house of our God; to the store houses for the house of our God;

⁴⁴ And on that day they appointed chief men over the store houses for the treasures, the dedications, and the tythes, and what were collected therein for the chiefs of the cities, and assigned portions for the priests and the Levites. For Juda rejoiced at the attendance of the priests and the Levites,

⁵ he had fitted up for himself a large store house in which they formerly stored up the sacrifice and the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tythe of the corn, and the wine and the oil, the allotment of the Levites and the musicians, and the keepers of the gates, and the oblations which belonged to the priest.

¹² Then I brought them together and set them in their station; and all Juda brought in the tythe of the corn, and the wine, and the oil into the treasuries,

¹⁰ The days of these years of ours are seventy years: and if by reason of strength they be eighty years; still the surplus of them is labour and sorrow. Because gentleness hath come upon us: let us, therefore,

² I will conduct myself wisely in a perfect way; when wilt thou come to me? I have walked in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my household. ³ I have not set any wicked thing before mine eyes: them who commit transgressions I detested. ⁴ A perverse heart hath not cleaved to me. When the wicked withdrew from me; I no more acknowledged him. ⁵ Him, who privily slandered his neighbour, I expelled. With one of a haughty eye and unsatiable heart I would not eat. ⁶ Mine eyes have been on the faithful of the land; that they might dwell with me. He who walked in a perfect way, hath been employed in my service. ⁷ He who practised haughtiness found no abode in my family. He who spoke unjustly was not right in mine eyes.

⁴ when thou vowest a vow to God delay not the performance of it. For in fools there is no fixed will. Pay thou therefore what thou vowest. ⁵ It is better not to vow, than to vow and not perform.

¹⁰ For the ground Worked by ten yoke of oxen will not yield a bath of wine; and he who soweth six measures shall not raise three.

⁷ for which of these can I be merciful to thee? Thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by things which are no Gods. When I fed them plentifully, they committed adultery, and revelled in the houses of harlots.

¹³ In the cities of the hilly country and in the cities of Sephela, and in the cities of Nageb and in the land of Benjamin and in those around Jerusalem and in the cities of Juda, flocks shall again pass under the hand of him that counteth them, said the Lord.

³⁷ And I will make you pass under my rod and bring you in by number,

²⁹ they shall eat the sacrifices and the sin offerings and the offerings for inadvertencies. Moreover every dedication in Israel shall be for them.

¹¹ Let your chenix be the just part of the measure; and let the chenix uniformly contain the tenth of a gomar. Let a chenix and a tenth of a gomar, as it respecteth a gomar, be equal. ¹² And the weights shall be twenty oboli, five shekels, fifteen shekels. And fifty shekels shall be your mna.

¹² And the weights shall be twenty oboli, five shekels, fifteen shekels. And fifty shekels shall be your mna. ¹³ Now this shall be the oblation which you shall set apart, a sixth of a measure from the gomar of wheat and the sixth of the same ephah from the core of barley. ¹⁴ And the ordinance of oil shall be one cotula of oil from ten cotulas; for the ten cotulas are a gomar.

² So I hired one for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a gomar of barley and a nebel of wine,

¹⁴ [p] Feed thou thy people with thy crook; the flock of thy heritage; them who are by themselves in a forest in the midst of yonder Carmel. [J] They shall feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

¹² Then I will say to them, If it seemeth good in your sight, give me my wages; if not, forbear. And when they had weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver; ¹³ then the Lord said to me, Put them in the smelting furnace, and let me see whether it be proof: as I have been proved for them. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them down in the house of the Lord, for the smelting furnace.

¹⁴ when he is cursed, who is of ability and who hath a male in his flock and his vow upon him, and sacrificeth to the Lord a corrupted thing? Because I am a great king, saith the Lord Almighty and1 my name is illustrious among the nations,

⁸ Will a man supplant God? For you supplant me: and will you say, "wherein have we supplanted thee?" Because the tythes and the first fruits are with you, ⁹ and you view them again and again and supplant me. The year is ended and you have carried the products into [a] The objection, [b] The answer. your stores. ¹⁰ Now let that which hath been plundered from him be in his house. Turn now in this respect, saith the Lord Almighty: [see] if I will not open for you the flood gates of heaven and pour my blessing upon you, until there is enough;

²³ Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you pay tithe of mint, and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law; justice, mercy and fidelity. These you ought to have practised without omitting those.

⁴¹ Then he will say to them on his left, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the fire which is everlasting; that prepared for the devil and his angels!

¹⁵ and said, What will you give me, and I will deliver him up to you. And they weighed to him thirty shekels of silver:

⁹ Then was fulfilled that, which was spoken by the prophet Jeremias, saying, "So I took the thirty pieces of silver, as the Lord commanded me. These being the price of him who was valued, whom some of the Israelites valued; ¹⁰ these they gave for the potter's field."

⁷ For you have the poor always with you and can, when you please, do them good; but me you have not always.

⁴² But alas for you, Pharisees! because you pay tithe of mint, and rue, and of all kinds of pulse, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have practised, without, however, neglecting the other.

¹² I fast twice a week. I pay tithes of all that I possess.

¹ And when he looked up and beheld the rich casting their gifts into the treasury, ² and saw also a certain poor widow throwing into it two mites, ³ he said, Verily I say to you, That poor widow hath thrown in more than they all: ⁴ for all those cast in, for their homage gifts to God, part only of their superfluous stores; but she hath thrown in all the little she had for her subsistence.

¹⁷ Because the law was given by Moses grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

³⁴ for there was not one indigent person among them: for as many as were proprietors of lands or houses sold them and brought the prices of the things sold, ³⁵ which being laid at the apostles feet, distribution was made to every one according as any had need. ³⁶ In particular Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, the signification of which is Son of Consolation, a Levite, and by birth a Cyprian, ³⁷ having an estate, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles feet.

⁴ While it remained, did it not remain thine? And when sold it was still at thine own disposal. Why then hast thou determined this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

¹² And in the course of the day some of the Jews, having entered into a conspiracy, bound themselves by the solemn Anathema, saying they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. ¹³ And there were more than forty who took this oath, ¹⁴ and who went to the chief priests and elders and said, We have bound ourselves by the solemn Anathema not to taste any thing till we have slain Paul.

³ [for I even I myself wished the followers of Christ to be devoted to destruction,] for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

²² If any one loveth not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be an Anathema. Maranatha.

¹² For if there be a willingness, a person is accepted according to what he hath; not according to what he hath not.

¹⁰ For as many as are of works of law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed is every one who will not persevere in all that. are written in the book of the law to do them."

¹³ From this curse of the law Christ hath redeemed us, being made a curse for us; [for it is written, "Cursed, is every one who is suspended on a cross,"]

²⁴ These things have an allegorical meaning, for by these women are represented the two covenants; one from mount Sina, bringing forth for bondage; this is Hagar. ²⁵ [for Hagar meaneth mount Sina in Arabia] and answereth to the present Jerusalem, who with her children is in a state of bondage:

⁵ The Levites indeed who receive the priesthood have according to law a commandment to tithe the people, that is their own brethren descended from the loins of Abraham; ⁶ but he who was not of their pedigree received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises. ⁷ Now, beyond all dispute, the inferior is blessed by the superior. ⁸ Again, here indeed men who die receive tithes; but there HE received them of whom it is testified that he liveth. ⁹ Indeed, as one may say, even Levi who receiveth tithes, was tithed in the person of Abraham;

¹⁸ For you are not come to a mountain which might be touched, and to blazing fire, and to gloom, and darkness, and a turbid tempest, ¹⁹ and to the sound of a trumpet, and a sound of words, the hearers of which entreated that the discourse might not be continued to them; ²⁰ for they could not bear this threat, "And if even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned or pierced through with a dart." ²¹ And so awful was the appearance, that Moses said, "I am exceedingly terrified and tremble:" ²² but you are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels ²³ to the general assembly and congregation of first born, enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, ²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaketh better things than that of Abel. ²⁵ See that you do not reject him who speaketh. For if they did not escape who rejected him who gave forth oracles on earth, how much less shall we who reject him who is from heaven,
