Then the man will be free from iniquity, but that woman will bear the consequences<n id="1" /> of her iniquity.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

So the anger of the <sc>Lordsc> was kindled that day, and he swore,

So he called the name of that place Taberah<n id="1" /> because there the fire of the <sc>Lordsc> burned among them.p>

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Then all the community raised a loud cry,<n id="2" /> and the people wept<n id="3" /> that night.

So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country swooped<n id="1" /> down and attacked them<n id="2" /> as far as Hormah.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">It happened that some men<n id="1" /> who were ceremonially defiled<n id="2" /> by the dead body of a man<n id="3" /> could not keep<n id="4" /> the Passover on that day, so they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

<p class="bodytext">But<n id="1" /> the man who is ceremonially clean, and was not on a journey, and fails<n id="2" /> to keep the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people.<n id="3" /> Because he did not bring the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s offering at its appointed time, that man must bear his sin.<n id="4" />

&#8220;Tell the Israelites, &#8216;When<n id="1" /> a man or a woman commits any sin that people commit,<n id="2" /> thereby breaking faith<n id="3" /> with the <sc>Lordsc>, and that person is found guilty,<n id="4" />

Then the priest will offer one for a purification offering<n id="1" /> and the other<n id="2" /> as a burnt offering,<n id="3" /> and make atonement<n id="4" /> for him, because of his transgression<n id="5" /> in regard to the corpse. So he must reconsecrate<n id="6" /> his head on that day.

And if you come with us, it is certain<n id="1" /> that whatever good things the <sc>Lordsc> will favor us with, we will share with you as well.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">So the name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah,<n id="1" /> because there they buried the people that craved different food.<n id="2" />

That place was called<n id="1" /> the Eshcol Valley,<n id="2" /> because of the cluster<n id="3" /> of grapes that the Israelites cut from there.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;But the person<n id="1" /> who acts defiantly,<n id="2" /> whether native-born or a resident foreigner, insults<n id="3" /> the <sc>Lordsc>.<n id="4" /> That person<n id="5" /> must be cut off<n id="6" /> from among his people.

Because he has despised<n id="1" /> the word of the <sc>Lordsc> and has broken<n id="2" /> his commandment, that person<n id="3" /> must be completely cut off.<n id="4" /> His iniquity will be on him.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="5" />p>

<p class="poetry">God is not a man, that he should lie,p> <p class="poetry">nor a human being,<n id="1" /> that he should change his mind.p> <p class="poetry">Has he said, and will he not do it?p> <p class="poetry">Or has he spoken, and will he not make it happen?<n id="2" />p>

And the people stayed up<n id="1" /> all that day, all that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail. The one who gathered the least gathered ten homers,<n id="2" /> and they spread them out<n id="3" /> for themselves all around the camp.

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>

But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person must be cut off from among the community, because he has polluted the sanctuary of the <sc>Lordsc>; the water of purification was not sprinkled on him, so he is unclean.p>

<p class="bodytext">So the Moabites said to the elders of Midian, &#8220;Now this mass of people<n id="1" /> will lick up everything around us, as the bull devours the grass of the field. Now Balak son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at this time.
