Numbers

‘YHWH bless you, and keep you.

YHWH cause His face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.

YHWH lift up His countenance upon you, and give unto you peace.’

And they shall put My name on the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.”

And Moses said to YHWH, “Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your eyes, that You have laid the burden of all this people on me?

Did I conceive all this people? Or did I beget them, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land that You swore to their fathers?

And Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant from his youth, answered and said, “My lord Moses, restrain them.”

And Moses said to him, “Are you zealous for my sake? If only he would make all people of YHWH prophets, [and] that YHWH would put His Spirit upon them.”

And they said, “Is [it] only indeed through Moses [that] YHWH has spoken? Is [it] not also through us [that] He has spoken?” And YHWH heard [it].

I speak with him mouth to mouth, and even plainly and not in riddles; and the form of YHWH he sees. And why were you⁺ not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?”

And the anger of YHWH was kindled against them, and He departed.

And all the sons of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!

indeed all these men who have seen My glory and the signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test these ten times and have not heeded My voice,

And the soul who does beguile by hand, from the native and from the sojourner, he reviles YHWH; that person shall be cut off from among his people.

And you⁺ shall have the tassel, that you⁺ may look upon it and remember all the commandments of YHWH and do them, and that you⁺ do not follow after your⁺ own heart and your⁺ own eyes, after them to which you⁺ are inclined to prostitute yourselves.

And YHWH said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you⁺ did not believe Me, to show My holiness in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore you⁺ shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”

God [is] not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and He will not do? Or has He spoken, and He will not fulfill?

[that] if Balak were to give to me the fullness of his house in silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of YHWH to do good or bad of my own will? That which YHWH says, that I must speak.

And indeed, one of the sons of Israel came and presented to his brothers a Midianitess before the eyes of Moses and before the eyes of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they [were] weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

And Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw [it], and he rose from the midst of the congregation, and he took a spear in his hand,

“Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the sons of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal in their midst, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel in My zeal.

If a man makes a vow to YHWH or swears an oath to bind by some binding obligation on his soul, he shall not break his word; according to all that proceeds out of his mouth, he shall do.

But if her father forbids her on the day that he hears, then any of her vows or her binding obligations by which she has bound on her soul shall not stand; and YHWH will release her, because her father forbade her.

But if, on the day that he hears [it], her husband forbids her, he makes void her vow that she took and the rash utterance of her lips by which she bound on her soul, and YHWH will release her.

But if her husband surely has nullified them on the day he heard [them], then whatever proceeded from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the bond of her soul, it shall not stand; her husband has made them void, and YHWH will release her.

Every vow, and every sworn binding obligation to afflict her soul, her husband may confirm it or her husband may make it void.

But if he strikes him with an iron implement and he dies, he [is] a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.

And if with a stone in the hand, with which one could die by it, he strikes him and he does die, he [is] a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.

And you⁺ shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is [is] condemned to die; for he must surely be put to death.

And you⁺ shall not pollute the land that you⁺ [are] in because the blood itself defiles the land; and for the land atonement cannot be made for the blood that is shed on it, except if by the blood of him who shed it.
