See, I have given the Levites all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they perform – the service of the tent of meeting.

And you may<n id="1" /> eat it in any place, you and your household, because it is your wages for your service in the tent of meeting.

And whoever touches the body of someone killed with a sword in the open fields,<n id="1" /> or the body of someone who died of natural causes,<n id="2" /> or a human bone, or a grave, will be unclean seven days.<n id="3" />p>

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Then the entire community of Israel<n id="2" /> entered the wilderness of Zin in the first month,<n id="3" /> and the people stayed in Kadesh.<n id="4" /> Miriam died and was buried there.<n id="5" />p>

<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" />

<p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc> said to Moses, &#8220;Make a poisonous snake and set it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks<n id="1" /> at it, he will live.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Then they turned and went up by the road to Bashan. And King Og of Bashan and all his forces<n id="1" /> marched out against them to do battle at Edrei.

So they defeated Og,<n id="1" /> his sons, and all his people, until there were no survivors,<n id="2" /> and they possessed his land.p>

For I will honor you greatly,<n id="1" /> and whatever you tell me I will do. So come, put a curse on this nation for me.&#8217;&#8221;p>

But Balaam replied<n id="1" /> to Balak, &#8220;Did I not tell you, &#8216;All that the <sc>Lordsc> speaks,<n id="2" /> I must do&#8217;?&#8221;p>

And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said,

<p class="bodytext">So Moses did as the <sc>Lordsc> commanded him; he took Joshua and set<n id="1" /> him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Also, on the day of the first fruits, when you bring a new grain offering to the <sc>Lordsc> during your Feast of Weeks, you are to have a holy assembly. You must do no ordinary work.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;On the first day of the seventh month, you are to hold a holy assembly. You must not do your ordinary work, for it is a day of blowing trumpets for you.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;On the tenth day of this seventh month you are to have a holy assembly. You must humble yourselves;<n id="1" /> you must not do any work on it.

<v id="(30:1)" /><n id="1" /> So Moses told the Israelites everything, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded him.<n id="2" />p>

and 32,000 young women who had never had sexual intercourse with a man.<n id="1" />p>

So the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s anger was kindled against the Israelites, and he made them wander in the wilderness for forty years, until all that generation that had done wickedly before<n id="1" /> the <sc>Lordsc> was finished.<n id="2" />

and if all your armed men cross the Jordan before the <sc>Lordsc> until he drives out his enemies from his presence

Now the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom the <sc>Lordsc> had killed among them; the <sc>Lordsc> also executed judgments on their gods.p>
