“‘If you sin unintentionally and do not observe all these commandments that the Lord has spoken to Moses –

Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will.

If these men die a natural death, or if they share the fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.

So Israel took all these cities; and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.

These are the Ephraimites by their families: from Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthelahites; from Beker, the family of the Bekerites; from Tahan, the family of the Tahanites.

And these are the Levites who were numbered according to their families: from Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; from Merari, the family of the Merarites.

These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites. Kohath became the father of Amram.

These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the Israelites in the plains of Moab along the Jordan River opposite Jericho.

But there was not a man among these who had been among those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai.

In this manner you must offer daily throughout the seven days the food of the sacrifice made by fire as a sweet aroma to the Lord. It is to be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

These are the statutes that the Lord commanded Moses, relating to a man and his wife, and a father and his young daughter who is still living in her father’s house.

“These are the names of the men who are to allocate the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

These six towns will be places of refuge for the Israelites, and for the foreigner, and for the settler among them, so that anyone who kills any person accidentally may flee there.

These are the commandments and the decisions that the Lord commanded the Israelites through the authority of Moses, on the plains of Moab by the Jordan River opposite Jericho.

“Not a single person of this evil generation will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors!

All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars; in addition there were a great many open villages.

In your distress when all these things happen to you in the latter days, if you return to the Lord your God and obey him

He did not make this covenant with our ancestors but with us, we who are here today, all of us living now.

The Lord commanded us to obey all these statutes and to revere him so that it may always go well for us and he may preserve us, as he has to this day.

He is the one you should praise; he is your God, the one who has done these great and awesome things for you that you have seen.
