Leviticus 26:14-27:34
Chapter 26
14 '(C1)But if you do not obey Me and do not carry out all these commandments,15 if, instead, you (C1)reject My statutes, and if your soul loathes My ordinances so as not to carry out all My commandments, but rather to (C2)break My covenant,16 I, in turn, will do this to you: I will (F1)summon a (C1)sudden terror against you, consumption and fever that will make the eyes fail and the (C2)soul languish; also, (C3)you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it.17 'And I will set My face against you so that you will be defeated before your enemies; and (C1)those who hate you will rule over you, and (C2)you will flee when no one is pursuing you.18 'If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you (C1)seven times more for your sins.19 'I will also (C1)break down your pride of power; and I will make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze.20 '(C1)Your strength will be consumed uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.
21 'Yet if you (F1)(C1)show hostility toward Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you (C2)seven times according to your sins.22 '(C1)I will also let loose among you the animals of the field, which will deprive you of your children and eliminate your cattle, and reduce your number so that (C2)your roads become deserted.
23 '(C1)And if by these things you do not learn your lesson regarding Me, but you show hostility toward Me,24 then I in turn will (C1)show hostility toward you; and I, even I, will strike you (C2)seven times for your sins.25 'I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute (C1)vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send a (C2)plague among you, so that you will be handed over to the enemy.26 '(C1)When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread (F1)in rationed amounts, so that you will (C2)eat and not be satisfied.
27 'Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me,28 then (C1)I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I for My part will punish you seven times for your sins.29 'Further, (C1)you will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.30 'I then (C1)will destroy your high places, and cut down your (C2)incense altars, and (F1)pile your (F2)remains on the (F2)remains of your idols, for My soul will loathe you.31 'I will turn your cities into (C1)ruins as well and make your (C2)sanctuaries desolate, and I will not (C3)smell your soothing aromas.32 'And I will make (C1)the land desolate (C2)so that your enemies who settle in it will be appalled at it.33 'You, however, I (C1)will scatter among the nations, and I will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become ruins.
34 '(C1)Then the land will restore its Sabbaths all the days of the desolation, while you are in your enemies' land; then the land will rest and restore its Sabbaths.35 'All the days of its desolation it will have the rest which it did not have on your Sabbaths, while you were living on it.36 'As for those among you who are left, I will also bring (C1)despair into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a scattered leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee (F1)as though from the sword, and they will fall.37 '(C1)They will then stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength to stand before your enemies.38 'Instead, (C1)you will perish among the nations, and your enemies' land will consume you.39 '(C1)So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their wrongdoing in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the wrongdoing of their forefathers they will rot away with them.
40 'But (C1)if they confess their wrongdoing and the wrongdoing of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me—41 I also was acting with hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies—(C1)or if their uncircumcised heart is humbled so that (C2)they then make amends for their wrongdoing,42 then I will remember (C1)My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember also (C2)My covenant with Isaac, and (C3)My covenant with Abraham as well, and I will remember the land.43 '(C1)For the land will be abandoned by them, and will restore its Sabbaths while it is made desolate without them. They, meanwhile, will be making amends for their wrongdoing, (F1)because they rejected My ordinances and their (C2)soul loathed My statutes.44 'Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so (C1)loathe them as (C2)to destroy them, (C3)breaking My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.45 'But I will remember for them the (C1)covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, so that (C2)I might be their God. I am the LORD.'"
46 (C1)These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which the LORD established between Himself and the sons of Israel (F1)through Moses on Mount Sinai.
Chapter 27
Rules concerning Assessments
1 Again, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, '(C1)When someone makes an explicit vow, he shall be valued according to your assessment of persons belonging to the LORD.3 'If your assessment is of a male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your assessment shall be fifty shekels of silver, by (C1)the shekel of the sanctuary.4 'Or if (F1)the person is a female, then your assessment shall be thirty shekels.5 'And if the person is from five years even to twenty years old, then your assessment for a male shall be twenty shekels, and for a female, ten shekels.6 'But if the person is from a month even up to five years old, then your assessment shall be (C1)five shekels of silver for a male, and for a female your assessment shall be three shekels of silver.7 'If the person is from sixty years old and upward, if a male, then your assessment shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten shekels.8 'But if he is poorer than your assessment, then he shall be presented before the priest, and the priest shall assess him; (C1)according to (F1)the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall assess him.
9 'Now if it is an animal of the kind that (F1)one can present as an offering to the LORD, any such animal that one gives to the LORD shall be holy.10 '(C1)He shall not replace it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; yet if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy.11 'If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which (F1)one does not present as an offering to the LORD, then he shall place the animal before the priest.12 'And the priest shall assess it (F1)as either good or bad; as you, the priest, assess it, so shall it be.13 'But if he should ever want to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of it to your assessment.
14 'Now if someone consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall assess it (F1)as either good or bad; as the priest assesses it, so shall it stand.15 'Yet if the one who consecrates it should want to redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of your assessment price to it, so that it may be his.
16 'Again, if someone consecrates to the LORD part of the field of his own property, then your assessment shall be (F1)proportionate to the seed needed for it: a (F2)homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.17 'If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your assessment it shall stand.18 'If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for (F1)him (F2)proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your assessment.19 'If the one who consecrates it should ever want to redeem the field, then he shall add a fifth of your assessment price to it, so that it may belong to him.20 'Yet if he does not redeem the field, (F1)but has sold the field to another person, it may no longer be redeemed;21 and when it (F1)reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the LORD, like a field banned from secular use; (C1)it shall be for the priest as his property.22 'Or if he consecrates to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own property,23 then the priest shall calculate for (F1)him the amount of your assessment up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your assessment as holy to the LORD.24 'In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.25 'Every assessment of yours, moreover, shall be by (C1)the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.
26 '(C1)However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the LORD, no one may consecrate; whether ox or sheep, it is the LORD'S.27 'But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall (F1)redeem it according to your assessment and add to it a fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your assessment.
28 'Nevertheless, (F1)(C1)anything which someone sets apart to the LORD for (F2)destruction out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the field of his own property, shall not be sold nor redeemed. Anything set apart for destruction is most holy to the LORD.29 'No (F1)one who may have been (F2)set apart among mankind shall be ransomed; he must be put to death.
30 'Now (C1)all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S; it is holy to the LORD.31 'If, therefore, someone should ever want to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it a fifth of it.32 'For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever (C1)passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD.33 '(C1)He is not to be concerned whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; yet if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.'"
34 (C1)These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the sons of Israel on Mount Sinai.
Numbers 1:1-41
Chapter 1
The Census of Israel's Warriors
1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on (C1)the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,2 "(C1)Take a (F1)census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, every male, head by head3 from (C1)twenty years old and upward, whoever is able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall (F1)count them by their armies.4 "With you, moreover, there shall be a man of each tribe, (C1)each one head of his father's household.5 "These then are the names of the men who shall stand with you: (C1)of the tribe of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;6 of the tribe of Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;7 of the tribe of Judah, (C1)Nahshon the son of Amminadab;8 of Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar;9 of Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon;10 of the sons of Joseph: of Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; of Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;11 of Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni;12 of Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;13 of Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran;14 of Gad, Eliasaph the son of (C1)Deuel;15 of Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.16 "These are the men who were (C1)called from the congregation, the leaders of their fathers' tribes; they were the (C2)heads of (F1)divisions of Israel."
17 So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,18 and they assembled all the congregation on the (C1)first day of the second month. Then they registered by (C2)ancestry in their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, head by head,19 just as (C1)the LORD had commanded Moses. So he counted them in the wilderness of Sinai.
20 (C1)Now the sons of Reuben, Israel's firstborn, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,21 their numbered men of the tribe of Reuben were 46,500.
22 (C1)Of the sons of Simeon, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, their numbered men, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, (C2)whoever was able to go to war,23 their numbered men of the tribe of Simeon were 59,300.
24 (C1)Of the sons of Gad, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,25 their numbered men of the tribe of Gad were 45,650.
26 (C1)Of the sons of Judah, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,27 their numbered men of the tribe of Judah were 74,600.
28 (C1)Of the sons of Issachar, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,29 their numbered men of the tribe of Issachar were 54,400.
30 (C1)Of the sons of Zebulun, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,31 their numbered men of the tribe of Zebulun were 57,400.
32 (C1)Of the sons of Joseph, namely, of the sons of Ephraim, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,33 their numbered men of the tribe of Ephraim were 40,500.
34 (C1)Of the sons of Manasseh, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,35 their numbered men of the tribe of Manasseh were 32,200.
36 (C1)Of the sons of Benjamin, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,37 their numbered men of the tribe of Benjamin were 35,400.
38 (C1)Of the sons of Dan, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,39 their numbered men of the tribe of Dan were 62,700.
40 (C1)Of the sons of Asher, their descendants by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,41 their numbered men of the tribe of Asher were 41,500.<
