The 6th Chapter
And the Lord spake unto Moses
saying: speak unto children of Israel and say unto them: when either
man or woman appointeth to vow a vow of abstinence for to abstain
unto the Lord, he shall abstain from wine and strong drink, and
shall drink no vinegar of wine or of strong drink, nor drink
whatsoever is pressed out of grapes: and shall eat no fresh grapes
neither yet dried, as long as his abstinence endureth. Moreover he
shall eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, no not so much as
the kernels or the husk of the grape.
And as long as the vow of his abstinence endureth, there shall
no razor nor shears come upon his head, until his days be out which
he fasteth unto the Lord, and he shall be holy and shall let the
locks of his hair grow. As long as he abstaineth unto the Lord he
shall come at no dead body: he shall not make himself unclean at the
death of his father, mother, brother or sister: For the abstinence
of his God is upon his head. And therefore as long as his abstinence
lasteth, he shall be holy unto the Lord.
And if it fortune that any man by chance die suddenly before
him, and defile the head of his abstinence, then must he shave his
head the day of his cleansing: even the seventh day he shall shave
it. And the eighth day he shall bring two turtles or two young
pigeons to the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of witness.
And the priest shall offer the one for a sinoffering and the other
for a burntoffering and make an atonement for him, as concerning
that he sinned upon the dead, and shall also hallow his head the
same day and he shall abstain unto the Lord the time of his
abstinency, and shall bring a lamb of an year old for a trespass
offering: but the days that were before are lost, because his
abstinence was defiled. This is the law of the abstainer, when the
time of his abstinence is out he shall be brought unto the door of
the tabernacle of witness and he shall bring his offering unto the
Lord: an he lamb of a year old without blemish for a brurntoffering
and a she lamb of a year old without blemish for a sinoffering, a
ram without blemish also for a peaceoffering, and a basket of sweet
bread of fine flour mingled with oil and wafers of sweet bread
anointed with oil with meatofferings and drinkofferings that long
thereto. And the priest shall bring him before the Lord and offer
his sinoffering and his brurntoffering, and shall offer the ram for
a peaceoffering unto the Lord with the basket of sweet bread, and
the priest shall offer also his meatoffering and his drinkoffering.
And the abstainer shall shave his head in the door of the tabernacle
of witness and shall take the hair of his sober head and put it in
the fire which is under the peaceoffering. Then the priest shall
take the sodden shoulder of the ram and one sweet cake out of the
basket and one sweet wafer also and put them in the hand of the
abstainer after he hath shaven his abstinence off, and the priest
shall wave them unto the Lord, which offering shall be holy unto the
priest with the wavebreast and heave shoulder: and then the
abstainer may drink wine. This is the law of the abstainer which
hath vowed his offering unto the Lord for his abstinence, besides
that his hand can get. And according to the vow which he vowed, even
so he must do in the law of his abstinence.
And the Lord talked with Moses saying: speak unto Aaron and
his sons saying: of this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel
saying unto them.
The Lord bless thee and keep thee.
The Lord make his face shine upon thee and be merciful unto
thee.
The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee
peace. For ye shall put my name upon the children of Israel, that I
may bless them.

And when Moses had full set up
the habitation and anointed it and sanctified it and all the apparel

according unto their office. And four chariots and eight oxen he
gave unto the sons of Merari according unto their offices, under the
hands of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. But unto the sons of
Cahath he gave none, for the office that pertained to them was holy,

The 8th Chapter
And the Lord spake unto Moses
saying: speak unto Aaron and say unto him: when thou puttest on the
lamps see that they light all seven upon the forefront of the
candlestick. And Aaron did even so, and put the lamps upon the
forefront of the candlestick, as the Lord commanded Moses, and the
work of the candlestick was of stiff gold: both the shaft and the
flowers thereof. And according unto the vision which the Lord had
shewed Moses even so he made the candlestick.
And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: take the Levites from
among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. And this do unto
them when thou cleansest them, sprinkle water of purifying upon them
and make a razor to run along upon all the flesh of them, and let
them wash their clothes, and then they shall be clean. And let them
take a bullock and his meatoffering, fine flour mingled with oil:
and another bullock shalt thou take to be a sinoffering.
Then bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness and
gather the whole multitude of the children of Israel together. And
bring the Levites before the Lord, and let the children of Israel
put their hands upon the Levites. And let Aaron heave the Levites
before the Lord, for an heaveoffering given of the children of
Israel, and then let them be appointed to wait upon the service of
the Lord.
And let the Levites put their hands upon the heads of the
bullocks, and then offer them: the one for a sinoffering and the
other for a brurntoffering unto the Lord, to make an atonement for
the Levites. And make the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons,
and have them to be a heaveoffering unto the Lord. And thou shalt
separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, that they be
mine: and after that let them go and do the service of the
tabernacle of witness.
Cleanse them and wave them, for they are given unto me from
among the children of Israel for I have taken them unto me for all
the first born that open any matrice among the children of Israel.
For all the first born among the children of Israel are mine
both man and beast: because the same time that I smote the first
born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself: and I have
taken the Levites for all the first born among the children of
Israel, and have given them unto Aaron and his sons from among the
children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in
the tabernacle of witness and to make an atonement for the children
of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, if
they come nigh unto the sanctuary.
And Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children
of Israel did unto the Levites according unto all that the Lord
commanded Moses. And the Levites purified themselves, and washed
their clothes. And Aaron waved them before the Lord, and made an
atonement for them to cleanse them. And after that they went in to
do their service in the tabernacle of witness, before Aaron and his
sons. And according as the Lord had commanded Moses as concerning
the Levites, even so they did unto them.
And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: this shall be the manner
of the Levites: from twenty five years upward they shall go in to
wait upon the service in the tabernacle of witness, and at fifty
they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall labor
no more: but shall minister unto their brethren in the tabernacle of
witness, and there wait, but shall do no more service. And see that
thou do after this manner unto the Levites in their waiting times.

The 9th Chapter
And the Lord spake unto Moses in
the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after
they: were come out of the land of Egypt saying: let the children of
Israel offer Passover in his season: even the fourteenth day of this
month at even they shall keep it in his season, according to all the
ordinances and manners thereof. And Moses bade the children of
Israel that they should offer Passover, and they offered Passover
the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of
Sinai: and did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses.
And it chanced that certain men which were defiled with a dead
corpse that they might not offer Passover the same day, came before
Moses and Aaron the same time, and said: we are defiled upon a dead
corpse, wherefore are we kept back that we may not offer an offering
unto the Lord in the due season, among the children of Israel? And
Moses said unto them: tarry, that I may hear what the Lord will
command you. And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the
children of Israel and say: If any man among you or your children
after you be unclean by the reason of a corpse or is in the way far
off, then let him offer Passover unto the Lord: the fourteenth day
of the second month at even, and eat it with sweet bread and sour
herbs, and let them leave none of it unto the morning nor break any
bone of it. And according to all the ordinance of the Passover let
them offer it.
But if a man be clean and not let in a journey, and yet was
negligent to offer Passover, the same soul shall perish from his
people, because he brought not an offering unto the Lord in his due
season: and he shall bear his sin. And when a stranger dwelleth
among you and will offer Passover unto the Lord according to the
ordinance of Passover and manner thereof shall he offer it. And ye
shall have one law both for the stranger and for him that was born
at home in the land. And the same day that the habitation was
reared up, a cloud covered it on high upon the tabernacle of
witness: and at even there was upon the habitation, as it were the
similitude of fire until the morning. And so it was always, that the
cloud covered it by day, and the similitude of fire by night. And
when the cloud was taken up from of the tabernacle, then the
children of Israel journeyed: and where the cloud abode there the
children of Israel pitched their tents. At the mouth of the Lord the
children of Israel journeyed, and at the mouth of the Lord they
pitched. And as long as the cloud abode upon the habitation, they
lay still, and when the cloud tarried still upon the habitation long
time, the children of Israel waited upon the Lord and journeyed not.
If it chanced that the cloud abode any space of time upon the
habitation, then they kept their tents at the mouth of the Lord: and
they journeyed also at the commandment of the Lord. And if it
happened that the cloud was upon the habitation from evening unto
morning and was taken up in the morning then they journeyed. Whether
it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they
journeyed. But when the cloud tarried two days or a month or a long
season upon the habitation, as long as it tarried theron, the
children of Israel kept their tents and journeyed not. And as soon
as the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. At the mouth of the Lord
they rested, and at the commandment of the Lord they journeyed. And
thus they kept the watch of the Lord, at the commandment of the Lord
by the hand of Moses.

The 10th Chapter
And the Lord spake unto Moses
saying: Make thee two trumpets of beaten silver, that thou mayst use
them to call the congregation together, and when the host shall
journey. When they blow with them, all the multitude shall resort to
thee, unto the door of the tabernacle of witness. If but one trumpet
blow only, then the princes which are heads over the thousands of
Israel shall come unto thee. And when ye trump the first time, the
hosts that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
And when ye trump the second time, then the hosts that lie on
the south side shall take their journey: for they shall trump when
they take their journeys. And in gathering the congregation
together, ye shall blow and not trump. And the sons of Aaron the
priests shall blow the trumpets and shall have them and it shall be
a law unto you for ever and among your children after you.
And when ye shall go to war in your land against your enemies
that vex you, ye shall trump with the trumpets and ye shall be
remembered before the Lord your God and saved from your enemies.
Also when ye be merry in your feast days and in the first days of
your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt sacrifices
and peaceofferings, that it may be a remembrance of you before your
God. I am the Lord your God.
And it came to pass the twentieth day of the second month in
the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the habitation
of witness. And the children of Israel took their journey out of the
desert of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Pharan.
And the first took their journey at the mouth of the Lord, by the
hand of Moses: even the standard of the host of Juda removed first
with their armies, whose captain was Nahason the son of Aminadab.
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Isachar, was
Nathanael the son of Zuar. And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Zabulon, was Eliab the son of Helon. And the habitation
was taken down: and the sons of Gerson and Merari went forth bearing
the habitation.
Then the standard of the host of Ruben went forth with their
armies, whose captain was Elizur the son of Sedeur. And over the
host of the tribe of the children of Simeon, was Salamiel the son of
Zuri saddai. And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad
was Eliasaph the son of Deguel. Then the Cahathites went forward and
bare the holy things, and the other did set up the habitation
against they came.
Then the standard of the host of the children of Ephraim went
forth with their armies, whose captain was Elisama the son of Amiud.
And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasse, was Gamaliel
the son of Pedazur. And over the host of the tribe of the sons of
BenJamin, was Abidan the son of Gedeoni.
And hindmost of all the host came the standard of the host of
the children of Dan with their armies: whose captain was, Ahiezar
the son of Ammi Saddai. And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Asser, was Pagiel the son of Ochran. And over the host
of the tribe of the children of Nephthali, was Ahira the son of Enan,
of this manner were the journeys of the children of Israel, with
their armies when they removed.
And Moses said unto Hobab the son of Raguel the Madianite,
Moses father in law: we go unto the place of which the Lord said I
will give it you. Go with us and we will do thee good, for the Lord
hath promised good unto Israel. And he said unto him: I will not:
but will go to mine own land and to my kindred. And Moses said, Oh
nay, leave us not, for thou knowest where is best for us to pitch in
the wilderness: and thou shalt be our eyes. And if thou go with us,
look what goodness the Lord sheweth upon us, the same we will shew
upon thee.
And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days
journey, and the ark of the testament of the Lord went before them
in the three days journey to search out a resting place for them.
And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day, when they went out
of the tents.
And when the ark went forth, Moses said: Rise up Lord and let
thine enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee flee before
thee. And when the ark rested, he said: return Lord, unto the many
thousands of Israel.
