and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb.Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil;and as a drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet aroma to the Lord.And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a peace offering to the Lord,then shall be offered with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;and you shall bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.‘ Thus it shall be done for each young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat.According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do with everyone according to their number.All who are native-born shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.And if a stranger dwells with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and would present an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord, just as you do, so shall he do.One ordinance shall be for you of the assembly and for the stranger who dwells with you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you.’”Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them:‘ When you come into the land to which I bring you,then it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord.You shall offer up a cake of the first of your ground meal as a heave offering; as a heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it up.Of the first of your ground meal you shall give to the Lord a heave offering throughout your generations.‘ If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses—all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations—

Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times, to seek to use sorcery, but he set his face toward the wilderness.And Balaam raised his eyes, and saw Israel encamped according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.Then he took up his oracle and said:“ The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor, The utterance of the man whose eyes are opened,The utterance of him who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Who falls down, with eyes wide open:“ How lovely are your tents, O Jacob! Your dwellings, O Israel!Like valleys that stretch out, Like gardens by the riverside, Like aloes planted by the Lord, Like cedars beside the waters.He shall pour water 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; He has strength like a wild ox; He shall consume the nations, his enemies; He shall break their bones And pierce them with his arrows.‘ He bows down, he lies down as a lion; And as a lion, who shall rouse him?’“ Blessed is he who blesses you, And cursed is he who curses you.”Then Balak’s anger was aroused against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam,“ I called you to curse my enemies, and look, you have bountifully blessed them these three times!Now therefore, flee to your place. I said I would greatly honor you, but in fact, the Lord has kept you back from honor.”So Balaam said to Balak,“ Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,‘ If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the Lord, to do good or bad of my own will. What the Lord says, that I must speak’?And now, indeed, I am going to my people. Come, I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the latter days.”So he took up his oracle and said:“ The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor, And the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened;The utterance of him who hears the words of God, And has the knowledge of the Most High, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Who falls down, with eyes wide open:“ I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; A Star shall come out of Jacob; A Scepter shall rise out of Israel, And batter the brow of Moab, And destroy all the sons of tumult.“ And Edom shall be a possession; Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession, While Israel does valiantly.Out of Jacob One shall have dominion, And destroy the remains of the city.”Then he looked on Amalek, and he took up his oracle and said:“ Amalek was first among the nations, But shall be last until he perishes.”Then he looked on the Kenites, and he took up his oracle and said:“ Firm is your dwelling place, And your nest is set in the rock;Nevertheless Kain shall be burned. How long until Asshur carries you away captive?”Then he took up his oracle and said:“ Alas! Who shall live when God does this?But ships shall come from the coasts of Cyprus, And they shall afflict Asshur and afflict Eber, And so shall Amalek, until he perishes.”So Balaam rose and departed and returned to his place; Balak also went his way.

Now the leaders of the people dwelt at Jerusalem; the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine-tenths were to dwell in other cities.And the people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.These are the heads of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem.( But in the cities of Judah everyone dwelt in his own possession in their cities— Israelites, priests, Levites, Nethinim, and descendants of Solomon’s servants.)Also in Jerusalem dwelt some of the children of Judah and of the children of Benjamin. The children of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the children of Perez;and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Col-Hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni.All the sons of Perez who dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight valiant men.And these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the 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 after him Gabbai and Sallai, nine hundred and twenty-eight.Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer, and Judah the son of Senuah was second over the city.Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, and Jachin;Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, was the leader of the house of God.Their brethren who did the work of the house were eight hundred and twenty-two; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah,

So he returned to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, he and all the princes of Moab.And he took up his oracle and said:“ Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, From the mountains of the east.‘ Come, curse Jacob for me, And come, denounce Israel!’“ How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?For from the top of the rocks I see him, And from the hills I behold him; There! A people dwelling alone, Not reckoning itself among the nations.“ Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number one-fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, And let my end be like his!”Then Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have blessed them bountifully!”So he answered and said,“ Must I not take heed to speak what the Lord has put in my mouth?”Then Balak said to him,“ Please come with me to another place from which you may see them; you shall see only the outer part of them, and shall not see them all; curse them for me from there.”So he brought 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.And he said to Balak,“ Stand here by your burnt offering while I meet the Lord over there.”Then the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said,“ Go back to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”So he came to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab were with him. And Balak said to him,“ What has the Lord spoken?”Then he took up his oracle and said:“ Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, son of Zippor!“ God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.“ He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God is with him, And the shout of a King is among them.God brings them out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox.“ For there is no sorcery against Jacob, Nor any divination against Israel. It now must be said of Jacob And of Israel,‘ Oh, what God has done!’

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

Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying,“ The Lord commanded through Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with their common-lands for our livestock.”So the children of Israel gave to the Levites from their inheritance, at the commandment of the Lord, these cities and their common-lands:Now the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had thirteen cities by lot from the tribe of Judah, from the tribe of Simeon, and from the tribe of Benjamin.The rest of the children of Kohath had ten cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh.And the children of Gershon had thirteen cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.The children of Merari according to their families had twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.And the children of Israel gave these cities with their common-lands by lot to the Levites, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.So they gave from the tribe of the children of Judah and from the tribe of the children of Simeon these cities which are designated by name,which were for the children of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for the lot was theirs first.And they gave them Kirjath Arba( Arba was the father of Anak), which is Hebron, in the mountains of Judah, with the common-land surrounding it.But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.Thus to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its common-land( a city of refuge for the slayer), Libnah with its common-land,Jattir with its common-land, Eshtemoa with its common-land,Holon with its common-land, Debir with its common-land,Ain with its common-land, Juttah with its common-land, and Beth Shemesh with its common-land: nine cities from those two tribes;and from the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its common-land, Geba with its common-land,Anathoth with its common-land, and Almon with its common-land: four cities.All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their common-lands.And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, the rest of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot from the tribe of Ephraim.For they gave them Shechem with its common-land in the mountains of Ephraim( a city of refuge for the slayer), Gezer with its common-land,Kibzaim with its common-land, and Beth Horon with its common-land: four cities;and from the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with its common-land, Gibbethon with its common-land,Aijalon with its common-land, and Gath Rimmon with its common-land: four cities;and from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with its common-land and Gath Rimmon with its common-land: two cities.All the ten cities with their common-lands were for the rest of the families of the children of Kohath.Also to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, from the other half-tribe of Manasseh, they gave Golan in Bashan with its common-land( a city of refuge for the slayer), and Be Eshterah with its common-land: two cities;and from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its common-land, Daberath with its common-land,Jarmuth with its common-land, and En Gannim with its common-land: four cities;and from the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its common-land, Abdon with its common-land,Helkath with its common-land, and Rehob with its common-land: four cities;and from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its common-land( a city of refuge for the slayer), Hammoth Dor with its common-land, and Kartan with its common-land: three cities.All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their common-lands.And to the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its common-land, Kartah with its common-land,Dimnah with its common-land, and Nahalal with its common-land: four cities;and from the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with its common-land, Jahaz with its common-land,Kedemoth with its common-land, and Mephaath with its common-land: four cities;and from the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its common-land( a city of refuge for the slayer), Mahanaim with its common-land,Heshbon with its common-land, and Jazer with its common-land: four cities in all.So all the cities for the children of Merari according to their families, the rest of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities with their common-lands.Every one of these cities had its common-land surrounding it; thus were all these cities.So the Lord gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it.The Lord gave them rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.These are the names of the sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. Now these are the families of the Levites according to their fathers:

And these are those who were numbered of the Levites according to their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites.These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, and the family of the Korathites.
