Would they have enough if the flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? If all the fish of the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”

<p class="bodytext">When the Israelites were<n id="1" /> in the wilderness they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;But if you do not do this, then look, you will have sinned<n id="1" /> against the <sc>Lordsc>. And know that your sin will find you out.

But if you are going to deal<n id="1" /> with me like this, then kill me immediately.<n id="2" /> If I have found favor in your sight then do not let me see my trouble.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to the whole community.

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Moses<n id="2" /> sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom:<n id="3" /> &#8220;Thus says your brother Israel: &#8216;You know all the hardships we have experienced,<n id="4" />

So they said, &#8220;If we have found favor in your sight,<n id="1" /> let this land be given to your servants for our inheritance. Do not have us cross<n id="2" /> the Jordan River.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

and the avenger of blood finds him outside the borders of the town of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the slayer, he will not be guilty of blood,

And Moses said to the <sc>Lordsc>, &#8220;Why have you afflicted<n id="1" /> your servant? Why have I not found favor in your sight, that<n id="2" /> you lay the burden of this entire people on me?

So we have brought as an offering for the <sc>Lordsc> what each man found: gold ornaments, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves<n id="1" /> before the <sc>Lordsc>.&#8221;<n id="2" />
