13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 aSend thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them. 3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them bfrom the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel. 4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 6 cOf the tribe of Judah, dCaleb the son of Jephunneh. 7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, eOshea the son of Nun. 9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called fOshea the son of Nun Jehoshua. 17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way gsouthward, and go up into hthe mountain: 18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; 20 And what the land is, whether it be ifat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And kbe ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes. 21 So they went up, and searched the land lfrom the wilderness of Zin unto mRehob, nas men come to Hamath. 22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where oAhiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now pHebron was built seven years before qZoan in Egypt.) 23 rAnd they came unto the ||brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a sstaff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 24 The place was called the ||brook ||Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence. 25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.

26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to tKadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with umilk and honey; xand this is the fruit of it. 28 Nevertheless ythe people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are ywalled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 29 zThe Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and athe Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan. 30 And bCaleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 31 cBut the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought up dan evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and eall the people that we saw in it are †men of a great stature. 33 And there we saw †the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of fthe giants: and we were in our own sight as ggrasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

14 And all the congregation alifted up their voice, and cried; and bthe people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Israel cmurmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or dwould God we had died in this wilderness! 3 And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 4 And they said one to another, eLet us make a captain, and flet us return into Egypt. 5 Then gMoses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: 7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, hThe land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. 8 If the Lord idelight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; ka land which floweth with milk and honey. 9 Only lrebel not ye against the Lord, mneither fear ye the people of the land; for nthey are bread for us: their †defence is departed from them, oand the Lord is with us: fear them not. 10 pBut all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And qthe glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel. 11 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people rprovoke me? and how long will it be ere they sbelieve me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? 12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and tdisinherit them, and uwill make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they. 13 And wMoses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;) 14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for xthey have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that ythy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, 16 Because the Lord was not zable to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness. 17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, 18 The Lord is alongsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, bvisiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. 19 cPardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people daccording unto the greatness of thy mercy, and eas thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even ||until now. 20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned faccording to thy word: 21 But as truly as I live, gall the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. 22 hBecause all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now ithese ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 23 k†Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: 24 But my servant lCaleb, because he had another spirit with him, and mhath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. 25 (Now nthe Amalekites and nthe Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and oget you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

26 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? pI have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 28 Say unto them, qAs truly as I live, saith the Lord, ras ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and sall that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, 30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I †sware to make you dwell therein, tsave Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 uBut your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which xye have despised. 32 But as for you, yyour carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children shall ||zwander in the wilderness aforty years, and bbear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. 34 cAfter the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even dforty days, each day for a year, shall ye ebear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my ||breach of promise. 35 fI the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all gthis evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. 36 hAnd the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land, 37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, idied by the plague before the Lord. 38 kBut Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still. 39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people lmourned greatly.

40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, mwe be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned. 41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye ntransgress the commandment of the Lord? but it shall not prosper. 42 oGo not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies. 43 For pthe Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you. 44 qBut they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless rthe ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. 45 Then sthe Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto tHormah.

15 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 aSpeak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you, 3 And bwill make an offering by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in †performing ca vow, or in a freewill offering, or din your solemn feasts, to make a esweet savour unto the Lord, of the herd, or of the flock: 4 Then fshall he that offereth his offering unto the Lord bring ga meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled hwith the fourth part of an hin of oil. 5 iAnd the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb. 6 kOr for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil. 7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the Lord. 8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or lpeace offerings unto the Lord: 9 Then shall he bring mwith a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil. 10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. 11 nThus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. 12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 13 All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. 14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord; as ye do, so he shall do. 15 oOne ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, pan ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. 16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 18 qSpeak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, 19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of rthe bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the Lord. 20 sYe shall offer up a cake of tthe first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do uthe heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it. 21 Of tthe first of your dough ye shall give unto the Lord an heave offering in your generations. 22 And wif ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto Moses, 23 Even all that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations; 24 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance †without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the Lord, xwith his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the ||manner, and yone kid of the goats for a sin offering. 25 zAnd the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance: 26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance. 27 And aif any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. 28 bAnd the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. 29 cYe shall have one law for him that †sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. 30 dBut the soul that doeth ought †presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same ereproacheth the Lord; and fthat soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31 Because he hath gdespised the word of the Lord, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that hgathered sticks upon the sabbath day. 33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 34 And they put him iin ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 35 And the Lord said unto Moses, jThe man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall kstone him with stones without the camp. 36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.

37 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them lthat they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: 39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye mseek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use nto go a whoring: 40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be oholy unto your God. 41 I am the Lord your God, pwhich brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.
