Let this suffice you, ye sons of Levi. ⁸ Moreover, Moses said to Kore, Hearken to me, ye sons of Levi; ⁹ Is this a small thing to you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from among the congregation of Israel, and brought you near to himself, to perform the holy services of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to attend before the tabernacle to perform them? ¹⁰ He hath indeed brought thee near, and all thy brethren the children of Levi with thee. And do you seek in this manner to officiate also as priests; ¹¹ Thou and all this thy company who are tumultuously assembled before God? As for Aaron, who is he that you murmur against him? ¹² Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiron, the sons of Eliab; but they said we will not go up. ¹³ Is it a small matter that thou hast been bringing us up to a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in this wilderness, that thou tyrannisest over us? ¹⁴ Thou art a chief! And thou hast brought us to a land flowing with milk and honey! and hast given us a portion of land, and vineyards! Fain wouldst thou put out the eyes of these men! We will not go up. ¹⁵ Upon this Moses was greatly incensed, and said to the Lord, Respect not their sacrifice. I have not taken from any of them an object of desire, nor have I injured any of them. ¹⁶ Then Moses said to Kore, Hallow thy company and be ready before the Lord, thou and Aaron and they, to morrow. ¹⁷ And take every one his censer, and put incense thereon, and present before the Lord, every one, his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also and Aaron, each his censer. ¹⁸ And when every one had taken his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense on it, and Moses and Aaron stood at the doors of the tabernacle of the testimony; ¹⁹ and Kore had collected against them all his company, at the doors of the tabernacle of the testimony, the glory of the Lord appeared to the whole congregation. ²⁰ And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron saying, ²¹ Separate yourselves from among this congregation, and I will consume them all at once. ²² At this they fell on their faces and said, God, the God of the spirits even of all flesh! If one man hath sinned, is the wrath of the Lord against the whole congregation? ²³ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁴ Speak to the congregation, and say, Withdraw all around from the congregation of Kore. ²⁵ Accordingly Moses, arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron; and all the elders of Israel accompanied him. ²⁶ And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Separate yourselves from the tents of these wicked men, and touch not any of the things which belong to them, lest you be consumed with them in their sins. ²⁷ And when they had drawn back, all around, from the tent of Kore, Dathan and Abiron came out, and stood at the doors of their tents, with their wives and their children, and their attendants. ²⁸ And Moses said, By this you shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works, and that they are not of myself; ²⁹ If these men die the common death of all men; or if their visitation be according to the visitation of all men, the Lord hath not sent me: ³⁰ but if the Lord demonstrate by a miracle, and the earth opening its mouth, shall swallow up them and their households, and their tents, and all that belong to them; and they go down alive to the mansion of the dead; then you will know that these men have provoked the Lord. ³¹ And when he had made an end of speaking all these words, the earth was rent under them; ³² and the earth opened; and it swallowed up them, and their households, and all the men who were with Kore, and all their cattle. ³³ And they, and all that belonged to them, went down alive to the mansions of the dead, and the earth covered them. And they were destroyed from among the congregation.

³³ And they, and all that belonged to them, went down alive to the mansions of the dead, and the earth covered them. And they were destroyed from among the congregation. ³⁴ And all the Israelites who were around them fled at their cry; for they said, Perhaps the earth may swallow us up. ³⁵ And there went forth a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men, who were offering incense!

³⁸ Because they have hallowed the censers of these sinful men with their lives, therefore make them up into thin plates, as a cover for the altar. Because they were presented before the Lord, therefore they are hallowed, and made a sign for the children of Israel.

²⁰ Moreover the Lord said to Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, nor shalt thou have a portion among them; for I am thy portion, and thy inheritance, among the children of Israel. ²¹ And behold I have given the Levites all the tenth in Israel, as a portion for their services. Inasmuch as they are to perform service at the tabernacle of the testimony, ²² and the children of Israel are no more to come to the tabernacle of the testimony, to bear a sin which incurreth death, ²³ but the Levites themselves are to perform the service of the tabernacle, and to bear their sins, this shall be a perpetual due for their generations, and they shall have no inheritance among the children of Israel. ²⁴ Because I have given the Levites for their portion the tithes of the children of Israel, which they set apart for the Lord, as a dedication, therefore I have said to them, they shall have no lot of inheritance among the Israelites.

¹ When the Israelites had removed, and pitched their tents on the west of Moab, along the Jordan, over against Jericho;

⁹ Now they who had died of the plague were twenty four thousand.

¹ And, after the plague, the Lord spoke to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, saying,

³ Upon which, orders were issued by Moses, and Eleazar the priest, at Araboth-Moab, on the Jordan over against Jericho, saying,

²¹ And the Pharesites were; from Asron, the community of the Asronites; from Jamun, the community of the Jamunites.

⁵⁶ By lot thou shalt parcel out their inheritance, to the many and the few.

⁶³ Now this was the review of Moses and Eleazar the priest, who reviewed the Israelites at Arabeth-Moab, on the Jordan, over against Jericho;

¹ Then came the daughters of Salpaad, son of Opher, son of Galaad, son of Machir, of the community of Manasses, one of the sons of Joseph [now these were their names; Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa]

³ Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among the congregation which conspired against the Lord, in the assembly of Kore. Because he died for his own sin, and had no sons,

¹² they brought to Moses, and Eleazar, and to all the Israelites, the captives, and the spoils, and the prey, to the camp at Araboth-Moab, on the Jordan, over against Jericho.

³ Ataroth, and Daibon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabo, and Baian,

⁵ if therefore, said they, we have found favour in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and cause us not to cross the Jordan.

³⁹ Now a descendant of Machir, son of Manasses, had gone to Galaad, and taken it, and destroyed the Amorite who dwelt there. ⁴⁰ So Moses gave Galaad to the community of Machir, son of Manasses, and they dwelt there.

⁴⁸ And they removed from the mountains Abarim, and encamped on the west of Moab, by the Jordan, opposite to Jericho.

⁵⁴ and you shall divide their land, by lot, among your tribes. To those who are more numerous you shall give a larger possession; and to those who are fewer in number you shall give a smaller possession. On whatever place any one's name falleth, there shall be his possession. According to the tribes of your families you shall possess it.

¹³ This shall be your land and these its boundaries round about. So Moses gave a charge to the Israelites saying, This is the land which you shall parcel out, by lot, in the manner the Lord hath commanded it to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half of the tribe of Manasses;

¹ Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, on the west of Moab, by the Jordan, over against Jericho, saying, ² Command the children of Israel; and let them give the Levites, out of the lots of their possession, cities to dwell in. They shall also give the Levites the suburbs of these cities round about.

² Command the children of Israel; and let them give the Levites, out of the lots of their possession, cities to dwell in. They shall also give the Levites the suburbs of these cities round about. ³ The cities shall be for them to dwell in; and the suburbs thereof shall be for their cattle, even for all their beasts.

³ The cities shall be for them to dwell in; and the suburbs thereof shall be for their cattle, even for all their beasts. ⁴ Now the suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city, outwards, two thousand cubits all around. ⁵ Thou shalt therefore measure off, outwards from the city, on the east side two thousand cubits, on the south side two thousand cubits, on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, and in the middle of this shall be your city; ⁶ and you shall give these suburbs of the cities with the cities, to the Levites. Six of the cities which you shall give shall be cities of refuge for the manslayer to flee to, and besides these you shall give forty two cities. ⁷ All the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be forty eight. ⁸ These cities with their suburbs, even the cities which you shall give, shall be from the possessions of the children of Israel. They shall give the Levites, out of their cities, many from those who have many, and few from them who have few; from every one according to the inheritance which they possess.

¹ Then came the chiefs of the community of the children of Galaad, son of Machir, son of Manasses, of the tribe of the children of Joseph, and spoke before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the chiefs of the patriarchal houses of the Israelites,

¹⁰ Accordingly they did, for the daughters of Salpaad, in the manner the Lord commanded Moses, ¹¹ and Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Maala, the daughters of Salpaad, were married to their cousins. ¹² They were married to men of the tribe of Manasses, one of the sons of Joseph, and their inheritance was kept in the tribe, to which the community of their father belonged.

¹⁴ Now the time we spent from Kades-barne till we came to the valley of Zaret, was thirty eight years; until all the generation of the warriors had fallen, and died out of the camp. As the Lord had, with an oath denounced against them, ¹⁵ the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them from among the host until they had all fallen.

¹⁵ Now when I gave Galaad to the Machirites

³ Your eyes have seen all that the Lord our God did because of Beelphegor; that as for every man who went after Beelphegor; him the Lord our God destroyed from among you. ⁴ But as for you who adhered to the Lord your God, you are all alive this day.

⁴⁶ on the bank of the Jordan, in the vale near the house of Phogor, in the land of Seon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Esebon, whom Moses and the Israelites slew after their coming out of the land of Egypt, ⁴⁷ when they took possession both of this land, and the land of Og king of Basan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were on the side of the Jordan towards the rising of the sun, ⁴⁸ from Aroer, which is on the border of the brook Arnon, to the mountain of Seon, which is Aermon, ⁴⁹ comprehending all that part of Araba on the eastern bank of Jordan, below the cliff of Asedoth.

⁹ for this cause the Levites have no portion or lot among their brethren. The Lord is their portion, as he said to them.

²⁷ and the Levite who is in thy cities, because he hath no portion nor lot with you. ²⁸ And, at the end of three years, thou shalt carry out all the tenth of thy products in that year, and lay it up in thy cities, ²⁹ and the Levite shall come, because he hath no portion nor lot with thee, and the proselyte, and the orphan, and the widow, who is in thy cities, and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works which thou dost.

¹ The priests, the Levites, even the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no portion, nor lot, with Israel. The homage offerings of the Lord are their lot. Them they shall eat; ² and they shall not have a lot of inheritance among their brethren, The Lord himself is their lot of inheritance, as he hath said to them.

¹⁶ Fathers shall not be put to death for children; nor the children for fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

⁴⁹ Go up the mountain Abarim, to that mount Nabo, which is in the land of Moab, fronting Jericho, and take a view of the land of Chanaan, which I give to the children of Israel; ⁵⁰ and die on the mount to which thou goest up, and be gathered to thy people, in the same manner as thy brother Aaron died on mount Or, and was gathered to his people,

¹ Then Moses went up from Araboth Moab to mount Nabo, to the top of Phasga, which is over against Jericho, and the Lord shewed him all the land of Galaad, even to Dan,

⁶ and he was buried at Gai near the house of Phogor. But none knoweth his sepulchre at this day.

⁸ And the children of Israel mourned for Moses, in Araboth Moab, by the Jordan, over against Jericho, thirty days. And when the days of mourning for Moses were fulfilled,

²³ And when Joshua had taken all the land as the Lord commanded Moses, he gave it for an inheritance to Israel, in parcels, according to their tribes; and the land rested from war.

¹⁴ But to the tribe of Levi there was no possession given. The Lord, the God of Israel is himself their possession, as the Lord said to them. Now this was the distribution which Moses made to the children of Israel at Araboth-Moab, on the border of the Jordan, over against Jericho.;

³³ [Omitted]

¹ Now these are they of the children of Israel who got possessions in the land of Chanaan, to whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nave, and the chiefs of the patriarchal families of the tribes of Israel, gave possessions. ² They gave possessions by lot, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Joshua, to nine tribes and the half of a tribe on this side the Jordan; ³ but to the Levites he gave no lot among them.

⁶ Now the children of Juda had come to Joshua at Galgal, and Chaleb the son of Jephonne, the Kenezite said to him, Thou knowest the word which the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, respecting me and thee at Kades-barne; ⁷ for I was forty years old, when Moses the servant of God sent me from Kades-barne to spy the land, and I made him a report to his mind. ⁸ My brethren who went up with me disturbed the heart of the people; but I determined to follow the Lord my God; ⁹ so Moses solemnly promised that day, saying, The land to which thou hast gone up shall be thy lot, and thy children's forever, for a possession, because thou hast determined to follow the Lord our God. ¹⁰ Now the Lord hath kept me alive as he said. This is the forty fifth year since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, and Israel commenced their wanderings in the wilderness. And behold I am now eighty five years of age;

¹ And the borders of the tribe of the children of Manasses were these; Because he was the first born of Joseph, Machir the first born of Manasses, the father of Galaad, being a man of war, had a possession in Galaaditis, and in Basanitis; ² and the rest of the sons of Manasses had possessions according to their communities, namely, the sons of Jezi, and the sons of Kelez, and the sons of Jeziel, and the sons of Sychem, and the sons of Symarim, and the sons of Opher. These were the males according to their communities.

¹⁴ When the children of Joseph complained to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given us but one lot, and one portion, to inherit, seeing I am a numerous people, and God hath blessed me?

⁶ Divide ye therefore the land into seven parcels, and bring them to me, and I will cast the lot for you before the

¹⁰ and Joshua cast lots for them at Selo, before the Lord, ¹¹ and the lot of the tribe of Benjamin came out first, according to their communities, and the bounds of their lot came out between the children of Juda,

¹ Next came out the lot of the children of Symeon, and their inheritance was in the midst of the lots of the children of Juda.

¹⁰ And the third lot came out for Zabulon, according to their communities; and these were to be the bounds of their inheritance:

¹⁷ And the fourth lot came out for Issachar,

²⁴ And the fifth lot came out for Aser, according to their communities;

³² And the sixth lot came out for Nephthaleim,

⁴⁰ And the seventh lot came out for Dan;

¹⁴ Ephraim rooted out them in Amelek; After thee was Benjamin with thy people; With me went down the scouting Machirites, And from Zabulon, they who array with the marshal's staff.

¹¹ Then there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under the fir tree, which is at Ephratha, in the land of father Joas, the Esdrite. Now Gideon, his son, was beating out corn in the wine

²⁴ Upon which Gideon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it, Peace of the Lord. To this day it is still at Ephratha, which belonged to father Esdri.

³⁴ And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he sounded a horn, and called out Abiezer after him.

² But he said o to them, What have I now done in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

¹⁸ Now this is the genealogy of Phares. Phares begot Esrom, ¹⁹ and Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab; ²⁰ and Aminadab, Naasson; and Naasson, Salmon; ²¹ and Salmon, Boaz; and Boaz, Obed; ²² and Obed, Jessai; and Jessai, David.

³⁴ And this which shall come upon thy two sons, shall be a sign to thee. Ophni and Phineas shall both be put to death on the same day.

²¹ And he set up the two pillars in the ailam of the temple. And when he set up the one pillar he called its name Jachum; and when he set up the other pillar he called its name Boloz.

³ The sons of Juda. Er, Aunan, Selom. These three he had by a daughter of Sava, the Chananite. Now Er the first born of Juda was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he slew him. ⁴ Then Thamar his daughter in law bore to him Phares and Zara. All the sons of Juda were five. ⁵ The sons of Phares, were Esrom and Jemuel. ⁶ And the sons of Zara were Zambri and Aitham and Amuan and Chalchal and Darad, five in all. ⁷ And the sons of Charmi, Achar the troubler of Israel, who transgressed so as to be anathematised. ⁸ And the sons of Aitham, Azarias.

²⁴ The sons of Symeon were Namuel and Jamin, Jarib, Zares, Saul,

¹ And the sons of Reuben the first born of Israel; for he was the first born, but when he went up to his father's bed, his father gave his birth right to his son Joseph as the son of Israel: yet in the genealogy he did not attain the right of primogeniture; ² for Juda being mighty in power prevailed over his brethren to have the Ruler appointed out of him, though the blessing was Joseph's. ³ Now the sons of Reuben, the first born of Israel, were Enoch and Phallus, Asrom and Charmi.

¹ The sons of Levi were Gerson, Kaath and Merari.

¹⁶ The sons of Levi were Gerson, Kaath and Merari. ¹⁷ Now these are the names of the sons of Gerson, Lobeni and Semei. ¹⁸ The sons of Kaath were Ambram and Issaar, Chebron and Oziel. ¹⁹ The sons of Merari were Mooli and Musi.

¹ The sons of Issachar were Thola and Phua and Jasub and Semeron, four.

⁶ The sons of Benjamin were Bale and Bachir and Jediel, three. ⁷ And the sons of Bale were Esebon and Ozi and Oziel and Jerimuth and Ouri, five, chiefs of houses of families mighty in power, and their number was twenty two thousand and thirty four. ⁸ And the sons of Bachir were Zemira and Joas and Eliezar and Elithenan and Amaria and Jerimuth and Abiud and Anathoth and Eleemeth, all these were sons of Bachir, ⁹ and their number according to their several communities, they being chiefs of the houses of their patriarchal families mighty in power, were twenty thousand two hundred. ¹⁰ And the sons of Jediel were Balaan, and the sons of Balaan, Jaus and Benjamin and Aoth and Chanana and Zaithan and Tharsi and Achisaar. ¹¹ All these sons of Jediel being chiefs of their families mighty in power, were seventeen thousand two hundred who went out in the army to war, ¹² including Sapphin and Apphin and the sons of Or, Asom, and his son Aor. ¹³ And the sons of Nephthaleim were Jasiel, Goni and Aser and Sellum his son and Balam his son. ¹⁴ And the sons of Manasses were Esriel whom his concubine Syra bore to him. She bore to him also Machir the father of Galaad. ¹⁵ And Machir took to wife a sister of Apphin and a sister of Sapphin. The sister of the one was named Moocha, and the sister of the other Sapphaad. And to him by Sapphaad daughters only were born; ¹⁶ but Moocha the wife of Machir bore a son and called his name Phares, and his brother's name was Sourus. His sons were Oulam and Rokon. ¹⁷ And the sons of Oulam, Badam. These were of the house of Galaad son of Machir son of Manasses. ¹⁸ And his sister Malecheth bore Isud and Abiezer and Maela. ¹⁹ And the sons of Semira were Aim and Sychem and Lakim and Anian. ²⁰ And the sons of Ephraim were Sothalath and Barad his son and Thaath his son, Elada his son, Saath his son, ²¹ and Zabad his son, Sothole his son; and Aser and Elead whom the men of Geth who were born in this land slew, because they went down to take their cattle.

³⁰ The sons of Aser were Jemna and Suia and Isai and Beria with Sore their sister.

¹ Now Benjamin begot Bale his first born and Asbel his second son and Ara his third, Noa his fourth

³ And the sons of Bale were Adir and Gera and Abiud

¹ Now when an adversary stood up in Israel and persuaded David to number Israel,

¹ Now with regard to the sons of Aaron in the line of Nadab and of Abiud, and of Eleazar and of Ithamar. ² As Nadab and Abiud died in the presence of their father and had no sons; and . Eleazar and Ithamar had officiated as priests;

²³ And having multiplied their children as the stars of heaven, thou broughtest them into the land which thou hadst promised their fathers; and they took possession of it.

⁴ and there dwelt in Jerusalem some of the sons of Juda and some of the sons of Benjamin; of the sons of Juda, Athaia, son Azia, son Zacharia, son Samaria, son Saphatia, son Maleleel; and of the sons of Phares

⁶ all these sons of Phares who dwelt in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty eight men of array.

²⁴ And Phathaia son of Baseza was the king's minister for all matters with the people.

⁹ Who then among all these doth not know that the hand of the Lord hath done these things? ¹⁰ Is not the life of all living beings in his hand; and the breath of every man?

¹⁴ If he demolish who can rebuild? If he shut against men, who can open?

²⁰ who changeth the lips of liege men and knoweth the wisdom of elders; ²¹ who poureth contempt on princes and hath healed them who were low; ²² who revealeth deep things from darkness; and hath brought to light the shades of death; ²³ who leadeth nations into error and destroyeth them; who prostrateth nations and conducteth them;

¹ For the conclusion. On understanding. For the sons of Kore. As the hart panteth for fountains of water, so panteth my soul for thee, God.

¹ For the conclusion. For the sons of Kore. A Psalm for Understanding. O God, we have heard with our ears: our fathers have told us the work which thou didst in the days of old.

¹ For the conclusion. Respecting them who are to be changed. For the sons of Kora. An Ode for understanding. Concerning the Beloved. My heart hath indited a good word, I recite my performances to the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

¹⁴ They are pent up like sheep in the mansion of the dead: death shall feed them and the early watches will rule over them: and that help of theirs from their glory, shall in the mansion of the dead become obsolete.

¹ A Psalm, for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken, and summoned the earth from the rising to the setting of the sun.

²⁰ Thou leddest thy people like a flock: by the ministry of Moses and Aaron.

³ Wilt thou turn man away to despondency; when thou hast said, Return ye sons of men? ⁴ Since in thy sight a thousand years are but as yesterday which is past; or as a watch in the night: ⁵ shall these trifling years of theirs be as if in the morning, a green herb passed away? ⁶ Should it in the morning bloom and pass away? In the evening it would have fallen, withered and become dry. ⁷ Because we have fallen short by thine anger, and by thine indignation have been troubled;

⁴⁴ and gave them the countries of nations, and they inherited the labours of peoples;

¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abeiron;

¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abeiron; ¹⁸ and a fire was kindled in their assembly, and a flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁴ May the Lord add to you more and more; to you and to your children

³³ All things come upon the wicked into their bosoms: but from the Lord all things which are just.

¹⁸ The silent lot putteth an end to contention, and determineth among the mighty.

²² And among all the captives of Juda at Babylon; they shall from them use an execration saying, "The Lord deal with thee as he did with Sedekias, and as he did with Achiab whom the king of Babylon roasted with fire,

⁸ and I will set my face against that man, and give him up to desolation and destruction; and remove him from among my people; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

²² You shall parcel it out by lot among you and the proselytes who dwell among you. Whoever have begotten sons among you shall be yours as natives among the children of Israel. With you they shall enjoy an inheritance among the tribes of Israel,

²⁷ For the kingdom and the dominion and the majesty of the kings who are under the whole heaven, is given to the holy ones of the Most High. And his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all the governments shall serve and obey him.

³ and Judas had Phares and Zara by Thamar, and Phares begat Esrom, and Esrom begat Aram,

⁵ Happy the meek; for they shall inherit the land.

³³ son of Aminadab, son of Aram, son of Esrom, son of Phares, son of Juda,

²⁶ they cast lots; and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

⁷ What is the inference? That which Israel sought he did not obtain; but the chosen obtained it and the rest were blinded.

²² Behold then the kindness and the severity of God: severity against them indeed who have fallen, and kindness to thee if thou continue in that kindness, otherwise thou also wilt be cut off.

⁵ But with the greater part of them God was not well pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

⁵ But with the greater part of them God was not well pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness. ⁶ Now these things were examples for us, that we may not lust after evil things as they did.

⁶ Now these things were examples for us, that we may not lust after evil things as they did. ⁷ Be not ye then idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play:" ⁸ Nor let us commit fornication as some of them did, and there fell in one day twenty three thousand: ⁹ nor let us try the Christ as some indeed of them did, and were destroyed by serpents: ¹⁰ nor murmur ye, as some of them murmured and were destroyed by the destroyer.

⁴ Now, there are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit;

¹² give thanks to the Father who hath fitted us for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light;

¹⁷ Now, against whom was he incensed forty years? Was it not against them who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

¹⁷ Now, against whom was he incensed forty years? Was it not against them who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ And to whom did he solemnly say that they should not enter into his rest, but to them who were disobedient.

¹⁴ For it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah, in respect to which tribe Moses spake nothing of a priesthood.

⁶ and when he condemned to destruction the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reducing them to ashes, and making them a publick example to future impious men,

⁵ Now I desire once for all to remind you of this which you knew, That the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, destroyed afterwards them who did not believe:

⁷ As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which, in like manner with them, abandoned themselves to licentiousness, and went after strange flesh, were made an example of, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire;

¹¹ Alas for them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, and rambled in the error of Balaam's reward and perished in the rebellion of Kore.

¹⁰ and hast made us kings and priests for our God, and we shall reign on the earth."

⁴ And I heard the number of them who were sealed: a hundred and forty four thousand were sealed of all the tribes of the children of Israel ⁵ Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand; ⁶ of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Nephthaleim were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand; ⁷ of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand; ⁸ of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
