With each lamb for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.“‘ With a ram prepare a grain offering of two- tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering. Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.“‘ When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow or a fellowship offering to the Lord,bring with the bull a grain offering of three- tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil,and also bring half a hin of wine as a drink offering. This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner.Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare.“‘ Everyone who is native- born must do these things in this way when they present a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.For the generations to come, whenever a foreigner or anyone else living among you presents a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord, they must do exactly as you do.The community is to have the same rules for you and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord:The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.’”The Lord said to Moses,“ Speak to the Israelites and say to them:‘ When you enter the land to which I am taking youand you eat the food of the land, present a portion as an offering to the Lord.Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal and present it as an offering from the threshing floor.Throughout the generations to come you are to give this offering to the Lord from the first of your ground meal.“‘ Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the Lord gave Moses—any of the Lord’s commands to you through him, from the day the Lord gave them and continuing through the generations to come— (niv)

Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not resort to divination as at other times, but turned his face toward the wilderness.When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came on himand he spoke his message:“ The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:“ How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, your dwelling places, Israel!“ Like valleys they spread out, like gardens beside a river, like aloes planted by the Lord, like cedars beside the waters.Water will flow from their buckets; their seed will have abundant water.“ Their king will be greater than Agag; their kingdom will be exalted.“ God brought them out of Egypt; they have the strength of a wild ox. They devour hostile nations and break their bones in pieces; with their arrows they pierce them.Like a lion they crouch and lie down, like a lioness— who dares to rouse them?“ May those who bless you be blessed and those who curse you be cursed!”Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam. He struck his hands together and said to him,“ I summoned you to curse my enemies, but you have blessed them these three times.Now leave at once and go home! I said I would reward you handsomely, but the Lord has kept you from being rewarded.”Balaam answered Balak,“ Did I not tell the messengers you sent me,‘ Even if Balak gave me all the silver and gold in his palace, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the Lord— and I must say only what the Lord says’?Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you of what this people will do to your people in days to come.”Then he spoke his message:“ The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:“ I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the people of Sheth.Edom will be conquered; Seir, his enemy, will be conquered, but Israel will grow strong.A ruler will come out of Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city.”Then Balaam saw Amalek and spoke his message:“ Amalek was first among the nations, but their end will be utter destruction.”Then he saw the Kenites and spoke his message:“ Your dwelling place is secure, your nest is set in a rock;yet you Kenites will be destroyed when Ashur takes you captive.”Then he spoke his message:“ Alas! Who can live when God does this?Ships will come from the shores of Cyprus; they will subdue Ashur and Eber, but they too will come to ruin.”Then Balaam got up and returned home, and Balak went his own way.

Now the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem. The rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of every ten of them to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, while the remaining nine were to stay in their own towns.The people commended all who volunteered to live in Jerusalem.These are the provincial leaders who settled in Jerusalem( now some Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants and descendants of Solomon’s servants lived in the towns of Judah, each on their own property in the various towns,while other people from both Judah and Benjamin lived in Jerusalem): From the descendants of Judah: Athaiah son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, a descendant of Perez;and Maaseiah son of Baruch, the son of Kol-Hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, a descendant of Shelah.The descendants of Perez who lived in Jerusalem totaled 468 men of standing.From the descendants of Benjamin: Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah,and his followers, Gabbai and Sallai— 928 men.Joel son of Zikri was their chief officer, and Judah son of Hassenuah was over the New Quarter of the city.From the priests: Jedaiah; the son of Joiarib; Jakin;Seraiah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the official in charge of the house of God,and their associates, who carried on work for the temple— 822 men; Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malkijah, (niv)

So he went back to him and found him standing beside his offering, with all the Moabite officials.Then Balaam spoke his message:“ Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the eastern mountains.‘ Come,’ he said,‘ curse Jacob for me; come, denounce Israel.’How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the Lord has not denounced?From the rocky peaks I see them, from the heights I view them. I see a people who live apart and do not consider themselves one of the nations.Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and may my final end be like theirs!”Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but you have done nothing but bless them!”He answered,“ Must I not speak what the Lord puts in my mouth?”Then Balak said to him,“ Come with me to another place where you can see them; you will not see them all but only the outskirts of their camp. And from there, curse them for me.”So he took him to the field of Zophim on the top of Pisgah, and there he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.Balaam said to Balak,“ Stay here beside your offering while I meet with him over there.”The Lord met with Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said,“ Go back to Balak and give him this word.”So he went to him and found him standing beside his offering, with the Moabite officials. Balak asked him,“ What did the Lord say?”Then he spoke his message:“ Arise, Balak, and listen; hear me, son of Zippor.God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.“ No misfortune is seen in Jacob, no misery observed in Israel. The Lord their God is with them; the shout of the King is among them.God brought them out of Egypt; they have the strength of a wild ox.There is no divination against Jacob, no evil omens against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel,‘ See what God has done!’ (niv)

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

Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribal families of Israelat Shiloh in Canaan and said to them,“ The Lord commanded through Moses that you give us towns to live in, with pasturelands for our livestock.”So, as the Lord had commanded, the Israelites gave the Levites the following towns and pasturelands out of their own inheritance:The first lot came out for the Kohathites, according to their clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon and Benjamin.The rest of Kohath’s descendants were allotted ten towns from the clans of the tribes of Ephraim, Dan and half of Manasseh.The descendants of Gershon were allotted thirteen towns from the clans of the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.The descendants of Merari, according to their clans, received twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Zebulun.So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these towns and their pasturelands, as the Lord had commanded through Moses.From the tribes of Judah and Simeon they allotted the following towns by name( these towns were assigned to the descendants of Aaron who were from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them):They gave them Kiriath Arba( that is, Hebron), with its surrounding pastureland, in the hill country of Judah.( Arba was the forefather of Anak.)But the fields and villages around the city they had given to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron( a city of refuge for one accused of murder), Libnah,Jattir, Eshtemoa,Holon, Debir,Ain, Juttah and Beth Shemesh, together with their pasturelands— nine towns from these two tribes.And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave them Gibeon, Geba,Anathoth and Almon, together with their pasturelands— four towns.The total number of towns for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, came to thirteen, together with their pasturelands.The rest of the Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted towns from the tribe of Ephraim:In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem( a city of refuge for one accused of murder) and Gezer,Kibzaim and Beth Horon, together with their pasturelands— four towns.Also from the tribe of Dan they received Eltekeh, Gibbethon,Aijalon and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands— four towns.From half the tribe of Manasseh they received Taanach and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands— two towns.All these ten towns and their pasturelands were given to the rest of the Kohathite clans.The Levite clans of the Gershonites were given: from the half- tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan( a city of refuge for one accused of murder) and Be Eshterah, together with their pasturelands— two towns;from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion, Daberath,Jarmuth and En Gannim, together with their pasturelands— four towns;from the tribe of Asher, Mishal, Abdon,Helkath and Rehob, together with their pasturelands— four towns;from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee( a city of refuge for one accused of murder), Hammoth Dor and Kartan, together with their pasturelands— three towns.The total number of towns of the Gershonite clans came to thirteen, together with their pasturelands.The Merarite clans( the rest of the Levites) were given: from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam, Kartah,Dimnah and Nahalal, together with their pasturelands— four towns;from the tribe of Reuben, Bezer, Jahaz,Kedemoth and Mephaath, together with their pasturelands— four towns;from the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead( a city of refuge for one accused of murder), Mahanaim,Heshbon and Jazer, together with their pasturelands— four towns in all.The total number of towns allotted to the Merarite clans, who were the rest of the Levites, came to twelve.The towns of the Levites in the territory held by the Israelites were forty- eight in all, together with their pasturelands.Each of these towns had pasturelands surrounding it; this was true for all these towns.So the Lord gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there.The Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had sworn to their ancestors. Not one of their enemies withstood them; the Lord gave all their enemies into their hands.Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled. (niv)
