<p class="bodytext">Then the <sc>Lordsc> spoke to Moses:

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Then the priest will bring her near and have her stand<n id="1" /> before the <sc>Lordsc>.

The anger of the <sc>Lordsc> burned against them, and he departed.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then the <sc>Lordsc> spoke to Moses:

<p class="bodytext">Then the <sc>Lordsc> spoke to Moses and Aaron:

But the Levites were not numbered among the other Israelites, as the <sc>Lordsc> commanded Moses.p>

Then you are to bring the Levites before the <sc>Lordsc>, and the Israelites are to lay their hands on the Levites;<n id="1" />

those men who produced the evil report about the land, died by the plague before the <sc>Lordsc>.

<p class="bodytext">These are the waters of Meribah, because the Israelites contended with the <sc>Lordsc>, and his holiness was maintained<n id="1" /> among them.p>

<p class="bodytext">As the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did.

&#8220;Speak to the Israelites, and tell them, &#8216;When either a man or a woman<n id="1" /> takes a special vow,<n id="2" /> to take a vow<n id="3" /> as a Nazirite,<n id="4" /> to separate<n id="5" /> himself to the <sc>Lordsc>,

For the <sc>Lordsc> said to Moses, &#8220;They must present their offering, one leader for each day,<n id="1" /> for the dedication of the altar.&#8221;p>

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Moses heard the people weeping<n id="2" /> throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and when the anger of the <sc>Lordsc> was kindled greatly, Moses was also displeased.<n id="3" />

Then the <sc>Lordsc> said to Moses, &#8220;The man must surely be put to death; the whole community must stone<n id="1" /> him with stones outside the camp.&#8221;

So Moses brought out all the staffs from before the <sc>Lordsc> to all the Israelites. They looked at them,<n id="1" /> and each man took his staff.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;On the first day of each month<n id="1" /> you must offer as a burnt offering to the <sc>Lordsc> two young bulls, one ram, and seven unblemished lambs a year old,

<p class="bodytext">Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had gone into the battle, &#8220;This is the ordinance of the law that the <sc>Lordsc> commanded Moses:

Now look, you are standing in your fathers&#8217; place, a brood of sinners, to increase still further the fierce wrath of the <sc>Lordsc> against the Israelites.

Anyone who touches the corpse of any dead person and does not purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the <sc>Lordsc>. And that person must be cut off from Israel,<n id="1" /> because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him. He will be unclean; his uncleanness remains on him.p>

and if his father has no brothers, then you are to give his inheritance to his relative nearest to him from his family, and he will possess it. This will be for the Israelites a legal requirement,<n id="1" /> as the <sc>Lordsc> commanded Moses.&#8217;&#8221;p>
