and you shall offer with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, a quarter of a hin of wine for the drink offering for each lamb.Or for a ram, you shall offer for a grain offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil.And for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.And when you offer a bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or for peace offerings to the Lord,then one shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with half a hin of oil.And you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.“ Thus it shall be done for each bull or ram, or for each lamb or young goat.As many as you offer, so shall you do with each one, as many as there are.Every native Israelite shall do these things in this way, in offering a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord.And if a stranger is sojourning with you, or anyone is living permanently among you, and he wishes to offer a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord, he shall do as you do.For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a statute forever throughout your generations. You and the sojourner shall be alike before the Lord.One law and one rule shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.”The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land to which I bring youand when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall present a contribution to the Lord.Of the first of your dough you shall present a loaf as a contribution; like a contribution from the threshing floor, so shall you present it.Some of the first of your dough you shall give to the Lord as a contribution throughout your generations.“ But if you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments that the Lord has spoken to Moses,all that the Lord has commanded you by Moses, from the day that the Lord gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations,

When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go, as at other times, to look for omens, but set his face toward the wilderness.And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe. And the Spirit of God came upon him,and he took up his discourse and said,“ The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,the oracle of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered:How lovely are your tents, O Jacob, your encampments, O Israel!Like palm groves that stretch afar, like gardens beside a river, like aloes that the Lord has planted, like cedar trees beside the waters.Water shall flow from his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters; his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.God brings him out of Egypt and is for him like the horns of the wild ox; he shall eat up the nations, his adversaries, and shall break their bones in pieces and pierce them through with his arrows.He crouched, he lay down like a lion and like a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed are those who bless you, and cursed are those who curse you.”And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. And Balak said to Balaam,“ I called you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them these three times.Therefore now flee to your own place. I said,‘ I will certainly honor you,’ but the Lord has held you back from honor.”And Balaam said to Balak,“ Did I not tell your messengers whom you sent to me,‘ If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord, to do either good or bad of my own will. What the Lord speaks, that will I speak’?And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter days.”And he took up his discourse and said,“ The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,the oracle of him who hears the words of God, and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered:I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near: a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the forehead of Moab and break down all the sons of Sheth.Edom shall be dispossessed; Seir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed. Israel is doing valiantly.And one from Jacob shall exercise dominion and destroy the survivors of cities!”Then he looked on Amalek and took up his discourse and said,“ Amalek was the first among the nations, but its end is utter destruction.”And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his discourse and said,“ Enduring is your dwelling place, and your nest is set in the rock.Nevertheless, Kain shall be burned when Asshur takes you away captive.”And he took up his discourse and said,“ Alas, who shall live when God does this?But ships shall come from Kittim and shall afflict Asshur and Eber; and he too shall come to utter destruction.”Then Balaam rose and went back to his place. And Balak also went his way.

Now the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem. And the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in Jerusalem the holy city, while nine out of ten remained in the other towns.And the people blessed all the men who willingly offered to live in Jerusalem.These are the chiefs of the province who lived in Jerusalem; but in the towns of Judah everyone lived on his property in their towns: Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and the descendants of Solomon’s servants.And in Jerusalem lived certain of the sons of Judah and of the sons of Benjamin. Of the sons of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, son of Zechariah, son of Amariah, son of Shephatiah, son of Mahalalel, of the sons of Perez;and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, son of Col-hozeh, son of Hazaiah, son of Adaiah, son of Joiarib, son of Zechariah, son of the Shilonite.All the sons of Perez who lived in Jerusalem were 468 valiant men.And these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, son of Joed, son of Pedaiah, son of Kolaiah, son of Maaseiah, son of Ithiel, son of Jeshaiah,and his brothers, men of valor, 928.Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer; and Judah the son of Hassenuah was second over the city.Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin,Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, ruler of the house of God,and their brothers who did the work of the house, 822; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, son of Pelaliah, son of Amzi, son of Zechariah, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah,

And he returned to him, and behold, he and all the princes of Moab were standing beside his burnt offering.And Balaam took up his discourse and said,“ From Aram Balak has brought me, the king of Moab from the eastern mountains:‘ Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, denounce Israel!’How can I curse whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?For from the top of the crags I see him, from the hills I behold him; behold, a people dwelling alone, and not counting itself among the nations!Who can count the dust of Jacob or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, and let my end be like his!”And Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have done nothing but bless them.”And he answered and said,“ Must I not take care to speak what the Lord puts in my mouth?”And Balak said to him,“ Please come with me to another place, from which you may see them. You shall see only a fraction of them and shall not see them all. Then curse them for me from there.”And he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.Balaam said to Balak,“ Stand here beside your burnt offering, while I meet the Lord over there.”And the Lord met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said,“ Return to Balak, and thus shall you speak.”And he came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him,“ What has the Lord spoken?”And Balaam took up his discourse and said,“ Rise, Balak, and hear; give ear to me, O son of Zippor:God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?Behold, I received a command to bless: he has blessed, and I cannot revoke it.He has not beheld misfortune in Jacob, nor has he seen trouble in Israel. The Lord their God is with them, and the shout of a king is among them.God brings them out of Egypt and is for them like the horns of the wild ox.For there is no enchantment against Jacob, no divination against Israel; now it shall be said of Jacob and Israel,‘ What has God wrought!’

The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel.And they said to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan,“ The Lord commanded through Moses that we be given cities to dwell in, along with their pasturelands for our livestock.”So by command of the Lord the people of Israel gave to the Levites the following cities and pasturelands out of their inheritance.The lot came out for the clans of the Kohathites. So those Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin, thirteen cities.And the rest of the Kohathites received by lot from the clans of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan and the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.The Gershonites received by lot from the clans of the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.The Merarites according to their clans received from the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.These cities and their pasturelands the people of Israel gave by lot to the Levites, as the Lord had commanded through Moses.Out of the tribe of the people of Judah and the tribe of the people of Simeon they gave the following cities mentioned by name,which went to the descendants of Aaron, one of the clans of the Kohathites who belonged to the people of Levi; since the lot fell to them first.They gave them Kiriath-arba( Arba being the father of Anak), that is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, along with the pasturelands around it.But the fields of the city and its villages had been given to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.And to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron, the city of refuge for the manslayer, with its pasturelands, Libnah with its pasturelands,Jattir with its pasturelands, Eshtemoa with its pasturelands,Holon with its pasturelands, Debir with its pasturelands,Ain with its pasturelands, Juttah with its pasturelands, Beth-shemesh with its pasturelands— nine cities out of these two tribes;then out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its pasturelands, Geba with its pasturelands,Anathoth with its pasturelands, and Almon with its pasturelands— four cities.The cities of the descendants of Aaron, the priests, were in all thirteen cities with their pasturelands.As to the rest of the Kohathites belonging to the Kohathite clans of the Levites, the cities allotted to them were out of the tribe of Ephraim.To them were given Shechem, the city of refuge for the manslayer, with its pasturelands in the hill country of Ephraim, Gezer with its pasturelands,Kibzaim with its pasturelands, Beth-horon with its pasturelands— four cities;and out of the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its pasturelands, Gibbethon with its pasturelands,Aijalon with its pasturelands, Gath-rimmon with its pasturelands— four cities;and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with its pasturelands, and Gath-rimmon with its pasturelands— two cities.The cities of the clans of the rest of the Kohathites were ten in all with their pasturelands.And to the Gershonites, one of the clans of the Levites, were given out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan with its pasturelands, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Beeshterah with its pasturelands— two cities;and out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its pasturelands, Daberath with its pasturelands,Jarmuth with its pasturelands, En-gannim with its pasturelands— four cities;and out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its pasturelands, Abdon with its pasturelands,Helkath with its pasturelands, and Rehob with its pasturelands— four cities;and out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its pasturelands, the city of refuge for the manslayer, Hammoth-dor with its pasturelands, and Kartan with its pasturelands— three cities.The cities of the several clans of the Gershonites were in all thirteen cities with their pasturelands.And to the rest of the Levites, the Merarite clans, were given out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its pasturelands, Kartah with its pasturelands,Dimnah with its pasturelands, Nahalal with its pasturelands— four cities;and out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with its pasturelands, Jahaz with its pasturelands,Kedemoth with its pasturelands, and Mephaath with its pasturelands— four cities;and out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its pasturelands, the city of refuge for the manslayer, Mahanaim with its pasturelands,Heshbon with its pasturelands, Jazer with its pasturelands— four cities in all.As for the cities of the several Merarite clans, that is, the remainder of the clans of the Levites, those allotted to them were in all twelve cities.The cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the people of Israel were in all forty-eight cities with their pasturelands.These cities each had its pasturelands around it. So it was with all these cities.Thus the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers. And they took possession of it, and they settled there.And the Lord gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their fathers. Not one of all their enemies had withstood them, for the Lord had given all their enemies into their hands.Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.
