Moses

“ It will be an everlasting rule throughout your generations, that among the Israelites they have no inheritance, 24 because the tithes of the Israelites, which they raise to Yahweh as a heave-offering, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance. ”

“ When you have heaved the best of it, it is to be counted to the Levites like the increase of a threshing-floor, or as the increase of a winepress. 31 You may eat of it anywhere, you and your households, because it is your wages in exchange for your service in the Tent of Meeting. 32 You will not bear the responsibility for any sin, if you have offered the best of it as a heave-offering. You must not pollute the holy things of the Israelites, or else you die. ”

“ It has consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the shrines of Arnon. 29 Woe to you, Moab! You are destroyed, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons who have escaped, and his daughters, into captivity to the king of the Amorites, Sihon. 30 We have shot arrows at them; Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon, and we have plundered them as far as Nophach, which reaches to Medeba."
31 So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites. 32 And Moses sent out spies to Jaazer, and they seized its villages, and drove out the Amorites who were there. ”

“ Chapter 30 1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes about the Israelites, and said:
This is what Yahweh commanded. 2 If a man makes a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his soul, he must not break his word. He must do everything that came out of his mouth.
3 If a woman makes a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself by a promise while she is still a youth in her father's house, 4 and her father hears her vow, and the bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace with her, then all her vowes will stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul will stand. ”

“ Give us an inheritance of land alongside our father's relatives."
5 And Moses presented their case before Yahweh.
6 Yahweh said to Moses, 7 "The daughters of Zelophehad speak rightly. You must give them an inheritance of land among their father's relatives and pass their father's inheritance on to them. 8 Tell this to the Israelites. If a man dies, and has no son, you must pass his inheritance on to his daughter. 9 And if he has no daughter, then you will pass his inheritance on to his brothers. 10 And if he has no brothers, then you will pass his inheritance on to his father's brothers. ”

“ The murderer must be put to death. 18 And if he strikes him with a wooden instrument in his hand, which could kill a person, he is a murderer. The murderer must be put to death. 19 The avenger of blood is the one who will kill the murderer. ”

“ May Yahweh make you a scourge and a curse among your people, as Yahweh will make your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 And these cursing waters shall enter your stomach, to make your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. ”

“ Everyone who is ritually pure in your house may eat it. 14 Every devoted [121] thing in Israel will be yours. 15 Every firstborn of the womb of all flesh, which they will bring to Yahweh, whether human or livestock, will be yours. However, you must redeem [122] a human firstborn, and the firstborn of forbidden [123] animals you must redeem. 16 Those of them that are redeemed, from a month old you are to redeem them, as you asses, five shekels [124] of silver, by the measure of the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs. ”

“ This will be, for the Israelites and for the resident alien who sojourns among them, an everlasting regulation.
11 Whoever touches the dead, any human corpse, will be unclean seven days. 12 He will purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he will be pure, [132] but if he does not purify himself the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be pure. 13 Whoever touches a dead body, of any human being who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of Yahweh. ”

“ And they shall guard their priesthood, but the foreigner [non-Levite] who comes near will be killed.
11 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:
12 See, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel, instead of every eldest son who opens the womb, among the sons of Israel. And the Levites shall be mine. 13 For all the eldest sons are mine. On the day I struck every eldest son in the land of Egypt, I sanctified every eldest son in Israel to me. They shall be mine, man and beast alike. I am Yahweh. ”

“ He will let the one he has chosen come near him. 6 Do this. Take yourselves fire-pans, Korah and all his congregation, 7 and put hot coals [102] in them, and put incense in them before Yahweh tomorrow. Then, the man whom Yahweh chooses will be holy. Enough with you, Levites!" [103]
8 And Moses said to Korah, "Listen now, sons of Levi. 9 Is it a small thing for you that the god of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near himself to carry out the service of Yahweh's tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them? ”

“ Chapter 32 1 Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad [198] had a great deal of lifestock, very vast, and the looked at the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and saw that it was a suitable place for livestock. 2 So the Gadites and the Reubenites came and spoke to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying, 3 "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, and Beon, 4 the land which Yahweh conquered before the Israelite congregation, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock." ”

“ They are to observe it, following every passover regulation. 13 And as for any man who is ritually pure, and is not on a journey, and refuses to observe the passover, that person is to be cut off [48] from his people, because he has not presented Yahweh's offering at its appointed time. That man will be punished for his sin. ”

“ If the cities were each to be imagined as a single point, a square could be drawn around the point so that, at nearest, each side of the square would be one thousand cubits from the city, while each side would be two thousand cubits long. ”

“ So the place was called Hormah. [146]
4 They continued their journey from Hor the mountain [139] along the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. [147] And the people were agitated on the way. 5 Then the people spoke against God, and against Moses. "Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, and there is no water, and we are tired of this worthless bread. [148] 6 So Yahweh sent venomous serpents [149] among the people, and they bit the people, and many of the Israelites died. ”

“ The Septuagint reads, from the avenger of blood. The word translated here as "avenger" is a somewhat broader word in Hebrew (goel) , meaning something like, "a person who carries out duties associated with their status as a relative." In this case, though, the reference is to avenging bloodshed, and perhaps, following the Septuagint, it originally read goel ha-adam, "the goel of blood", to specifically indicate the function of revenge.↑ (35:20) throws [something] . The Hebrew does not say what the killer is supposed to have thrown. ”

“ Now Balak the son of Zippor was the king of Moab at that time. 5 So he sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the river of his people's land, to call him and say, "Look: a people has come up from Egypt. ”

“ In this wilderness they will be finished off; they will die here."
36 And the men whom Moses sent to scout out the land, who returned and made all the congregation complain against him, bringing up a negative report about the land, 37 those men who brought the negative report about the land will die by divine execution before Yahweh. 38 But Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among the men who went to scout out the land, will live. ”

“ Moses and Aaron and his sons, who watch the sanctified watch to watch the sons of Israel. But the foreigner who comes near will be killed. 39 All the numbered of the Levites whom Moses and Aaron numbered, according to Yahweh's [command] , by their families, every male from a month old and over: twenty two thousand. ”
