1  And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of YHWH; and when the YHWH heard it, His anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp.

1  And the people murmured sinfully before the Lord; and the Lord heard them and was very angry; and fire was kindled among them from the Lord, and devoured a part of the camp.

1  Meanwhile, there arose a murmur among the people against the Lord, as if they were grief-stricken because of their labors. And when the Lord had heard it, he was angry. And when the fire of the Lord was enflamed against them, it devoured those who were at the extreme end of the camp.

2  And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto YHWH, and the fire abated.

2  And when the people had cried out to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was consumed.

3  And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of YHWH burnt among them.

3  And he called the name of that place, ‘The Burning,’ because the fire of the Lord had burned against them.

4  And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting; and the children of Israel also wept on their part, and said: 'Would that we were given flesh to eat!

4  So then, the mix of common people, who had ascended with them, were enflamed with desire, and sitting and weeping, with the sons of Israel joining them, they said, “Who will give us flesh to eat?

5  We remember the fish, which we were wont to eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;

6  but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all; we have nought save this manna to look to.'--

6  Our life is dry; our eyes look out to see nothing but manna.”

6  But now our soul is dried up; there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes.

7  Now the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium.

7  And the manna is as coriander seed, and the appearance of it the appearance of hoar-frost.

8  The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and seethed it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of a cake baked with oil.

8  And the people went through the field, and gathered, and ground it in the mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and baked it in a pan, and made cakes of it; and the sweetness of it was as the taste of wafer made with oil.

8  And the people wandered about, gathering it, and they crushed it with a millstone, or ground it with a mortar; then they boiled it in a pot, and made biscuits out of it, with a taste like bread made with oil.

9  And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.--

9  And when the dew descended in the night over the camp, the manna descended together with it.

10  And Moses heard the people weeping, family by family, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of YHWH was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.

10  And so, Moses heard the people weeping by their families, each one at the door of his tent. And the fury of the Lord was greatly enflamed. And to Moses also the matter seemed intolerable.

10  Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.

11  And Moses said unto YHWH: 'Wherefore hast Thou dealt ill with Thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in Thy sight, that Thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

11  And so he said to the Lord: “Why have you afflicted your servant? Why do I not find favor before you? And why have you imposed the weight of this entire people upon me?

12  Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that Thou shouldest say unto me: Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land which Thou didst swear unto their fathers?

12  Could I have conceived this entire multitude, or have given birth to them, so that you might say to me: Carry them in your bosom, as a nursemaid usually carries a little infant, and bring them into the land, about which you have sworn to their fathers?

13  Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they trouble me with their weeping, saying: Give us flesh, that we may eat.

14  I am not able to bear all this people myself alone, because it is too heavy for me.

14  I shall not be able to bear this people alone, for this thing is too heavy for me.

14  I alone am unable to sustain this entire people, because it is too heavy for me.

15  And if Thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray Thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in Thy sight; and let me not look upon my wretchedness.'

15  And if thou doest thus to me, slay me utterly, if I have found favour with thee, that I may not see my affliction.

15  But if it seems to you otherwise, I beg you to put me to death, and so may I find grace in your eyes, lest I be afflicted with such evils.”

16  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Gather unto Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee.

16  And the Lord said to Moses, Gather me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom thou thyself knowest that they are the elders of the people, and their scribes; and thou shalt bring them to the tabernacle of witness, and they shall stand there with thee.

17  And I will come down and speak with thee there; and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

17  so that I may descend and speak to you. And I will take from your spirit, and I will deliver it to them, so that, with you, they may sustain the burden of the people, and so that you will not be weighed down alone.

18  And say thou unto the people: Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of YHWH, saying: Would that we were given flesh to eat! for it was well with us in Egypt; therefore the YHWH will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

18  And to the people thou shalt say, Purify yourselves for the morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye wept before the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: and the Lord shall allow you to eat flesh, and ye shall eat flesh.

18  You shall also say to the people: Be sanctified. Tomorrow you will eat flesh. For I have heard you say: ‘Who will give us flesh to eat? It was well with us in Egypt.’ So then, may the Lord give you flesh. And you will eat,

19  Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

19  not for one day, nor for two, nor for five, nor for ten, nor even for twenty,

20  but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you; because that ye have rejected YHWH who is among you, and have troubled Him with weeping, saying: Why, now, came we forth out of Egypt?'

20  ye shall eat for a full month, until the flesh come out at your nostrils; and it shall be nausea to you, because ye disobeyed the Lord, who is among you, and wept before him, saying, What had we to do to come out of Egypt?

20  but for up to a month of days, until it exits from your nostrils, and until it turns into nausea for you, because you have slipped away from the Lord, who is in your midst, and because you have wept before him, saying: ‘Why did we go forth out of Egypt?’ ”

21  And Moses said: 'The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and yet Thou hast said: I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month!

21  And Moses said: “There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and yet you say, ‘I will give them flesh to eat for a whole month.’

21  Then Moses said before the LORD, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen, and thou hast said, I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month.

22  If flocks and herds be slain for them, will they suffice them? or if all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, will they suffice them?'

22  Could a multitude of sheep and oxen be slain, so that there would be enough food? Or will the fishes of the sea be gathered together, in order to satisfy them?”

22  Shall the flocks and the herds be slaughtered for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be caught for them, to suffice them?

23  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'Is the YHWH'S hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not.'

23  And the Lord said to Moses, Shall not the hand of the Lord be fully sufficient? now shalt thou know whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not.

23  And the Lord answered him: “Can the hand of the Lord be ineffective? Soon now, you shall see whether my word will be fulfilled in this work.”

24  And Moses went out, and told the people the words of YHWH; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent.

24  And so, Moses went and explained the words of the Lord to the people. Gathering together seventy men from the elders of Israel, he caused them to stand around the tabernacle.

25  And YHWH came down in the cloud, and spoke unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders; and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.

25  And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men that were elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and ceased.

26  But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were recorded, but had not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.

26  And there were two men left in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Modad; and the spirit rested upon them, and these were of the number of them that were enrolled, but they did not come to the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp.

26  Now there had remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the Spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but they did not go forth to the tabernacle.

27  And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said: 'Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.'

27  And a young man ran and told Moses, and spoke, saying, Eldad and Modad prophesy in the camp.

27  And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: “Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.”

28  And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses from his youth up, answered and said: 'My lord Moses, shut them in.'

28  Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: “My lord Moses, prohibit them.”

29  And Moses said unto him: 'Art thou jealous for my sake? would that all YHWH'S people were prophets, that the YHWH would put His spirit upon them!'

29  And Moses said to him, Art thou jealous on my account? and would that all the Lord’s people were prophets; whenever the Lord shall put his spirit upon them.

29  But he said, “Why are you jealous on my behalf? Who decides that any of the people may prophesy and that God may give to them his Spirit?”

30  And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

30  And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.

31  And there went forth a wind from YHWH, and brought across quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.

31  Then a wind, going out from the Lord and moving forcefully across the sea, brought quails and cast them into the camp, across a distance of one day’s journey, in every part of the camp all around, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.

32  And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails; he that gathered least gathered ten heaps; and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.

32  Therefore, the people, rising up, gathered quails all that day and night, and the next day; he who did least well gathered ten homers. And they dried them throughout the camp.

33  While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of YHWH was kindled against the people, and the YHWH smote the people with a very great plague.

33  The flesh was still between their teeth, neither had this kind of food ceased, and behold, the fury of the Lord was provoked against the people, and he struck them with an exceedingly great scourge.

34  And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted.

34  And that place was called, ‘The Graves of Lust.’ For there, they buried the people who had desired. Then, departing from the Graves of Lust, they arrived in Hazeroth, and they stayed there.

34  And he called the name of that place Kabrey di Rigta (the graves of craving); because it was there that they buried the people who craved meat.

35  From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.

35  The people departed from the Graves of Lust to Aseroth; and the people halted at Aseroth.

35  And the people journeyed from Kabrey di Rigta to Hazeroth, and abode at Hazeroth.

12:1  And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

12:2  And they said: 'Hath YHWH indeed spoken only with Moses? hath He not spoken also with us?' And the YHWH heard it.--

2  And they said, Has the Lord spoken to Moses only? has he not also spoken to us? and the Lord heard it.

12:3  Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth.--

3  And the man Moses was very meek beyond all the men that were upon the earth.

3  (for Moses was a man exceedingly meek, beyond all the men who were living upon the earth)

12:4  And YHWH spoke suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam: 'Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting.' And they three came out.

4  And the Lord said immediately to Moses and Aaron and Mariam, Come forth all three of you to the tabernacle of witness.

4  immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Miriam, “Go out, you three only, to the tabernacle of the covenant.” And when they had gone out,

12:5  And YHWH came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

5  And the three came forth to the tabernacle of witness; and the Lord descended in a pillar of a cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and Mariam were called; and both came forth.

5  the Lord descended in a column of cloud, and he stood at the entrance of the tabernacle, calling to Aaron and Miriam. And when they had advanced,

12:6  And He said: 'Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I YHWH do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream.

6  he said to them: “Listen to my words. If there will be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him through a dream.

12:7  My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house;

7  But it is not so with my servant Moses, who is the most faithful in all my house.

7  Not so with my servant Moses, who is faithful in all my house.

12:8  with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of YHWH doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?'

8  I will speak to him mouth to mouth apparently, and not in dark speeches; and he has seen the glory of the Lord; and why were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

8  For I speak with him mouth to mouth, and plainly. And not through enigmas and figures does he perceive the Lord. Therefore, why were you not afraid to disparage my servant Moses?”

12:9  And the anger of YHWH was kindled against them; and He departed.

9  And the great anger of the Lord was upon them, and he departed.

9  And being angry against them, he went away.

12:10  And when the cloud was removed from over the Tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow; and Aaron looked upon Miriam; and, behold, she was leprous.

10  And the cloud departed from the tabernacle; and, behold, Mariam was leprous, white as snow; and Aaron looked upon Mariam, and, behold, she was leprous.

10  Likewise, the cloud which was over the tabernacle withdrew. And behold, Miriam appeared to be white with a leprosy, like snow. And when Aaron had looked upon her, and he had seen the spreading of the leprosy,

12:11  And Aaron said unto Moses: 'Oh my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.

11  he said to Moses: “I beg you, my lord, not to impose upon us this sin, which we have committed foolishly.

12:12  Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.'

12  Let her not be as it were like death, as an abortion coming out of his mother’s womb, when the disease devours the half of the flesh.

12  Do not let this one be like one who is dead, or like an abortion that has been cast from the womb of her mother. Behold, half of her flesh is already consumed by leprosy.”

12:13  And Moses cried unto YHWH, saying: 'Heal her now, O God, I beseech Thee.'

12:14  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'If her father had but spit in her face, should she not hide in shame seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.'

14  And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had only spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be set apart seven days without the camp, and afterwards she shall come in.

14  And the Lord answered him: “If her father had spit on her face, should she not have been filled with shame for at least seven days? Let her be separated, outside the camp, for seven days, and after that, she will be called back.”

12:15  And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days; and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

15  And Mariam was separated without the camp seven days; and the people moved not forward till Mariam was cleansed.

15  And so Miriam was excluded from the camp for seven days. And the people did not move from that place, until Miriam was called back.

12:16  And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.

Nm13:1  And the people set out from Hazeroth, and they pitched their tents in the desert of Paran.

16  And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran. And Moses is saying to sons of Israel: You came until the mountain of Amorites that LORD God gave to us. See you, LORD God gave you the land. Now rise and occupy so as spoken LORD God of your fathers to you. But they were afraid and they came to Moses and they said: we shall send mortals from us and they are spying out the land for us. And when they will return they will tell us which was we should ascend there and what cities we will pass upon. And this was good in the eyes of Moses.

13:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Nm13:2  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

1  THE LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

13:2  'Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel; of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a prince among them.'

Nm13:3  Send for thee men, and let them spy the land of the Chananites, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession; one man for a tribe, thou shalt send them away according to their families, every one of them a prince.

Nm13:3  “Send men, who may examine the land of Canaan, which I will give to the sons of Israel, one from the rulers of each tribe.”

13:3  And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of YHWH; all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

Nm13:4  Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending, from the desert of Paran, leading men, whose names are these

13:4  And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

Nm13:5  from the tribe of Ruben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;

13:5  Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.

13:6  Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

13:7  Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.

13:8  Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.

13:9  Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.

13:10  Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.

Nm13:11  from the tribe of Zebulon, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;

13:11  Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.

Nm13:12  from the tribe of Joseph, of the scepter of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;

13:12  Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.

Nm13:13  from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;

13:13  Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.

13:14  Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.

13:15  Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

13:16  These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.

13:17  And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them: 'Get you up here into the South, and go up into the mountains;

Nm13:18  And so, Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan, and he said to them: “Ascend by the south side. And when you arrive at the mountains,

13:18  and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;

Nm13:19  and ye shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or whether they are few or many.

Nm13:19  consider the land, as to what kind it may be, and the people, who are its inhabitants, whether they may be strong or weak, whether they may be few in number or many,

13:19  and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;

Nm13:20  and the land itself, whether it is good or bad, what kind of cities, walled or without walls,

19  And what the land is, in which they dwell, whether it is fertile, or poor, or whether it has trees in it or not.

13:20  and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land.'--Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.--

Nm13:21  the soil, rich or barren, forested or without trees. Be strong, and bring us some of the fruits of the land.” Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes were ready to be eaten.

20  Be of good courage, and bring some of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

13:21  So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, at the entrance to Hamath.

Nm13:22  And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Æmath.

Nm13:22  And when they had ascended, they explored the land from the desert of Sin, all the way to Rehob, as one enters into Hamath.

13:22  And they went up into the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there.--Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.--

Nm13:23  And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there was Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of Egypt.

13:23  And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a pole between two; they took also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.--

Nm13:24  And they came to the valley of the cluster and surveyed it; and they cut down thence a bough and one cluster of grapes upon it, and bore it on staves, and they took of the pomegranates and the figs.

Nm13:24  And continuing on as far as the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, they cut off a vine with its grapes, which two men carried on a board. Likewise, they took from the pomegranates and the figs of that place,

13:24  That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.--

Nm13:25  which was called Nehel Eshcol, that is, the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, because the sons of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes from there.

13:25  And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.

Nm13:26  And those exploring the land returned after forty days, having circulated through the entire region.

13:26  And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

Nm13:27  And they proceeded and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Pharan Cades; and they brought word to them and to all the congregation, and they shewed the fruit of the land

Nm13:27  And they went to Moses and Aaron, and to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel in the desert of Paran, which is in Kadesh. And speaking to them, and to the entire multitude, they showed them the fruits of the land.

13:27  And they told him, and said: 'We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

Nm13:28  and they reported to him, and said, We came into the land into which thou sentest us, a land flowing with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

Nm13:28  And they explained, saying: “We went into the land, to which you sent us, which, it is true, flows with milk and honey, as one can know by these fruits.

13:28  Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are fierce, and the cities are fortified, and very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

Nm13:29  Only the nation that dwells upon it is bold, and they have very great and strong walled towns, and we saw there the children of Enach.

Nm13:29  But it has very strong occupants, and the cities are great and also walled. We saw the race of Anak there.

13:29  Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South; and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.'

13:30  And Caleb stilled the people toward Moses, and said: 'We should go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.'

Nm13:31  And Chaleb stayed the people from speaking before Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them.

Nm13:31  During these events, Caleb, to restrain the murmuring of the people who rose up against Moses, said, “Let us ascend and possess the land, for we will be able to obtain it.”

13:31  But the men that went up with him said: 'We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.'

Nm13:32  But the men that went up together with him said, We will not go up, for we shall not by any means be able to go up against the nation, for it is much stronger than we.

Nm13:32  Yet truly, the others, who had been with him, were saying, “By no means are we able to ascend to this people, because they are stronger than we are.”

13:32  And they spread an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying: 'The land, through which we have passed to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.

Nm13:33  And they brought a horror of that land which they surveyed upon the children of Israel, saying, The land which we passed by to survey it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of extraordinary stature.

Nm13:33  And before the sons of Israel they disparaged the land, which they had inspected, saying: “The land, which we viewed, devours its inhabitants. The people, upon whom we gazed, were of lofty stature.

13:33  And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.'

Nm13:34  There, we saw some monsters among the sons of Anak, of the race of giants; by comparison with them, we seemed like locusts.”

33  And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. And they are complaining, sons of Israel, in tents of them. And they are saying: LORD hates us because he brought us out of the land of Egypt to give us in hand of the Amorites to destroy us. How we will ascend, and brothers of us and loads of us? And in their hearts they were saying: great and many they are, and the cities great and built up in heavens. And moreover sons of Nephim we saw there. And he is saying Moses to Israel: not you shall be afraid and not you shall fear them as LORD God is the one going before you. He shall fight for you as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness that you see. He will lift you up, the LORD God, as the man lifts up son of him, in all the way which you will go until you come to this place. And speaking so you are not trusting in LORD God, the one going before you. To seek out for you the place of the encampment. In fire by night to meet you in way that you go, and in the cloud by day.

14:1  And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

1  And so, crying out, the entire crowd wept throughout that night.

1  THEN all the congregation was in commotion, and lifted up their voices and cried; and the people wept that night.

14:2  And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them: 'Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would we had died in this wilderness!

2  And all the sons of Israel were murmuring against Moses and Aaron, saying

14:3  And wherefore doth YHWH bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey; were it not better for us to return into Egypt?'

3  Would we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness, would we had died! and why does the Lord bring us into this land to fall in war? our wives and our children shall be for a prey: now then it is better to return into Egypt.

14:4  And they said one to another: 'Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.'

14:5  Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

5  And Moses and Aaron fell upon their face before all the congregation of the children of Israel.

5  And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell prone on the ground in the sight of the multitude of the sons of Israel.

14:6  And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of them that spied out the land, rent their clothes.

6  Yet truly, Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who themselves had also viewed the land, tore their garments,

14:7  And they spoke unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: 'The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.

7  and spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed is indeed extremely good.

7  and they said to the entire multitude of the sons of Israel: “The land that we circled through is very good.

14:8  If YHWH delight in us, then He will bring us into this land, and give it unto us--a land which floweth with milk and honey.

8  If the Lord choose us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.

14:9  Only rebel not against YHWH, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us; their defence is removed from over them, and the YHWH is with us; fear them not.'

9  Do not choose to be rebellious against the Lord. And do not fear the people of this land, for, like bread, so are we able to devour them. All protection has withdrawn from them. The Lord is with us. Do not be afraid.”

14:10  But all the congregation bade stone them with stones, when the glory of YHWH appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the children of Israel.

10  And all the congregation bade stone them with stones; and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud on the tabernacle of witness to all the children of Israel.

10  And when the entire multitude cried out, and they wanted to crush them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared, over the roof of the covenant, to all the sons of Israel.

14:11  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'How long will this people despise Me? and how long will they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?

11  And the Lord said to Moses, How long does this people provoke me? and how long do they refuse to believe me for all the signs which I have wrought among them?

14:12  I will smite them with the pestilence, and destroy them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.'

12  Therefore, I will strike them with a pestilence, and so I will consume them. But you I will make the ruler over a great nation, and one which is mightier than this one.”

14:13  And Moses said unto YHWH: 'When the Egyptians shall hear--for Thou broughtest up this people in Thy might from among them--

13  And Moses said to the Lord: “But then the Egyptians, from whose midst you led out this people,

14:14  they will say to the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that Thou YHWH art in the midst of this people; inasmuch as Thou LORD art seen face to face, and Thy cloud standeth over them, and Thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night;

14:15  now if Thou shalt kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of Thee will speak, saying

15  And if thou shalt destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard thy name shall speak, saying,

15  may hear that you have killed so great a multitude, as if they were one man, and they may say

14:16  Because YHWH was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore unto them, therefore He hath slain them in the wilderness.

16  ‘He was not able to lead the people into the land about which he had sworn. Therefore, he slew them in the wilderness.’

14:17  And now, I pray Thee, let the power of YHWH be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying

17  And now, O Lord, let thy strength be exalted, as thou spakest, saying,

17  Therefore, may the strength of the Lord be magnified, just as you swore, saying

14:18  YHWH is slow to anger, and plenteous in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.

18  The Lord is long-suffering and merciful, and true, removing transgressions and iniquities and sins, and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.

18  ‘The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and forsaking no one who is harmless. He visits the sins of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and fourth generation.’

14:19  Pardon, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of Thy lovingkindness, and according as Thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.'

19  Forgive this people their sin according to thy great mercy, as thou wast favourable to them from Egypt until now.

19  Forgive, I beg you, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of your mercy, just as you have been gracious to them in their journey from Egypt to this place.”

14:20  And YHWH said: 'I have pardoned according to thy word.

20  And the Lord said to Moses, I am gracious to them according to thy word.

14:21  But in very deed, as I live--and all the earth shall be filled with the glory of YHWH--

21  But as I live and my name is living, so the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth.

21  Also, as I live, the entire world shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

14:22  surely all those men that have seen My glory, and My signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to proof these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice;

22  For all the men who see my glory, and the signs which I wrought in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me this tenth time, and have not hearkened to my voice,

22  And yet, all the men who have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tested me ten times already, and yet have not obeyed my voice,

14:23  surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised Me see it.

23  surely they shall not see the land, which I sware to their fathers; but their children which are with me here, as many as know not good or evil, every inexperienced youth, to them will I give the land; but none who have provoked me shall see it.

14:24  But My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed Me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

24  My servant Caleb, who, being full of another spirit, has followed me, I will lead into this land, through which he has wandered, and his offspring shall possess it.

14:25  Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the Vale; tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.'

25  But Amalec and the Chananite dwell in the valley: to-morrow turn and depart for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.

25  For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys. Tomorrow, move the camp and return into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea.”

14:26  And YHWH spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying

26  And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

14:27  'How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that keep murmuring against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they keep murmuring against Me.

27  “How long will this very wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel.

14:28  Say unto them: As I live, saith YHWH, surely as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you

28  Say to them, As I live, saith the Lord: surely as ye spoke into my ears, so will I do to you.

14:29  your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, ye that have murmured against Me;

29  In the wilderness, here shall your carcasses lie. All you who were numbered from twenty years and above, and who have murmured against me,

14:30  surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I lifted up My hand that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

30  ye shall not enter into the land for which I stretched out my hand to establish you upon it; except only Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the son of Naue.

14:31  But your little ones, that ye said would be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.

31  But your little ones, about whom you said that they would be a prey to the enemies, I will lead them in, so that they may see the land that has displeased you.

31  But your little ones, who you said would become the prey, and your sons who today do not know good and evil, they shall enter into the land, and I will bring them there, and they shall know the land which you have despised.

14:32  But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.

32  And your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.

32  Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.

14:33  And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your strayings, until your carcasses be consumed in the wilderness.

33  Your sons shall wander in the desert for forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers are consumed in the desert.

33  And your sons shall be shepherds forty years in this wilderness, and shall suffer for your whoredom until your corpses are consumed in this wilderness.

14:34  After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know My displeasure.

34  According to the number of the days during which ye spied the land, forty days, a day for a year, ye shall bear your sins forty years, and ye shall know my fierce anger.

14:35  I YHWH have spoken, surely this will I do unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against Me; in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.'

35  For just as I have spoken, so shall I do, to this entire most wicked multitude, which has risen up together against me. In the wilderness, here shall it fade away and die.”

14:36  And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who, when they returned, made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,

36  And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who came and murmured against it to the assembly so as to bring out evil words concerning the land, —

36  Therefore, all the men, whom Moses had sent to contemplate the land, and who, having returned, had caused the entire multitude to murmur against him, disparaging the land as if it were evil,

14:37  even those men that did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before YHWH.

37  the men that spoke evil reports against the land, even died of the plague before the Lord.

37  suffered death and were struck down in the sight of the Lord.

14:38  But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land.

38  But only Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, out of all those who had journeyed to examine the land.

14:39  And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel; and the people mourned greatly.

14:40  And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying: 'Lo, we are here, and will go up unto the place which YHWH hath promised; for we have sinned.'

40  And behold, rising up at first light, they climbed to the top of the mountain, and they said, “We are prepared to ascend to the place, about which the Lord has spoken, for we have sinned.”

40  And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here , and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned. And the LORD God saying to Moses: speak to them that not you shall ascend and not you shall battle, as there is no me within you and you will be defeated before faces of your enemies.

14:41  And Moses said: 'Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of YHWH, seeing it shall not prosper?

41  And Moses said, Why do ye transgress the word of the Lord? ye shall not prosper.

41  And Moses said to them: “Why do you transgress the word of the Lord, merely because it will not result in prosperity for you?

14:42  Go not up, for YHWH is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.

42  Do not ascend, for the Lord is not with you, lest you be overthrown before your enemies.

14:43  For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword; forasmuch as ye are turned back from following YHWH, and the YHWH will not be with you.'

43  The Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, by whose sword you shall be ruined, for you were not willing to consent to the Lord, and so the Lord is not with you.”

14:44  But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain; nevertheless the ark of the covenant of YHWH, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

14:45  Then the Amalekite and the Canaanite, who dwelt in that hill-country, came down, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah.

45  Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, to meet them. And they are chasing them according to the words. And smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah. And they are returning to the camp

15:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

15:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,

2  “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land of your habitation, which I will give you,

15:3  and will make an offering by fire unto YHWH, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered, or as a freewill-offering, or in your appointed seasons, to make a sweet savour unto the YHWH, of the herd, or of the flock;

3  and thou wilt offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord, a whole-burnt-offering or a meat-offering to perform a vow, or a free-will offering, or to offer in your feasts a sacrifice of sweet savour to the Lord, whether of the herd or the flock

15:4  then shall he that bringeth his offering present unto YHWH a meal-offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil;

4  whoever immolates the victim shall offer a sacrifice of fine wheat flour, the tenth part of an ephah, sprinkled with oil, which shall have the measure of the fourth part of a hin,

15:5  and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.

5  And for a drink-offering ye shall offer the fourth part of a hin on the whole-burnt-offering, or on the meat-offering: for every lamb thou shalt offer so much, as a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.

5  and he shall give the same measure of wine, poured out as libations, whether as a holocaust or as a victim.

15:6  Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil;

6  And for a ram, when ye offer it as a whole-burnt-offering or as a sacrifice, thou shalt prepare as a meat-offering two tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, the third part of a hin.

6  With each lamb and each ram, there shall be a sacrifice of fine wheat flour, of two tenths, which shall be sprinkled with one third part of a hin of oil.

15:7  and for the drink-offering thou shalt present the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savour unto YHWH.

7  And ye shall offer for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord wine for a drink-offering, the third part of a hin.

15:8  And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered, or for peace- offerings unto YHWH;

8  Yet truly, when you will offer, from the oxen, a holocaust or a victim, in order to fulfill your vow or for peace-offering victims,

15:9  then shall there be presented with the bullock a meal-offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil.

9  you shall give, for each ox, three tenths of fine wheat flour, sprinkled with oil, which has the measure of one half of one hin,

15:10  And thou shalt present for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH.

10  And wine for a drink-offering the half of a hin, a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.

10  and the wine, poured out as libations, shall be of the same measure, as an oblation of most sweet odor to the Lord.

15:11  Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids.

11  Thus shalt thou do to one calf or to one ram, or to one lamb of the sheep or kid of the goats.

11  So shall you do

15:12  According to the number that ye may prepare, so shall ye do for every one according to their number.

12  for each ox, and ram, and lamb, and young goat.

15:13  All that are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH.

13  Every native of the country shall do thus to offer such things as sacrifices for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.

13  Both natives and sojourners

15:14  And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever may be among you, throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH; as ye do, so he shall do.

14  And if there should be a stranger among you in your land, or one who should be born to you among your generations, and he will offer a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord—as ye do, so the whole congregation shall offer to the Lord.

14  shall offer sacrifices by the same rituals.

15:15  As for the congregation, there shall be one statute both for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, a statute for ever throughout your generations; as ye are, so shall the stranger be before YHWH.

15  There shall be one law for you and for the strangers abiding among you, a perpetual law for your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.

15  There shall be one precept and one judgment, as much for yourselves as for newcomers to the land.”

15:16  One law and one ordinance shall be both for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

16  There shall be one law and one ordinance for you, and for the stranger that abides among you.

16  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying

15:17  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

17  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

17  “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them

15:18  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye come into the land whither I bring you,

18  Speak to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye are entering into the land, into which I bring you,

18  When you will arrive in the land which I will give to you,

15:19  then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall set apart a portion for a gift unto YHWH.

19  then it shall come to pass, when ye shall eat of the bread of the land, ye shall separate a wave-offering, a special offering to the Lord, the first-fruits of your dough.

19  and when you will eat from the bread of that region, you shall separate the first-fruits to the Lord

15:20  Of the first of your dough ye shall set apart a cake for a gift; as that which is set apart of the threshing-floor, so shall ye set it apart.

20  Ye shall offer your bread a heave-offering: as a heave-offering from the threshing-floor, so shall ye separate it,

20  from the foods that you eat. Just as you separate the first-fruits of your threshing floors,

15:21  Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto YHWH a portion for a gift throughout your generations.

21  even the first-fruits of your dough, and ye shall give the Lord a heave-offering throughout your generations.

21  so also shall you give the first-fruits of your cooked grains to the Lord.

15:22  And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which YHWH hath spoken unto Moses,

22  But whensoever ye shall transgress, and not perform all these commands, which the Lord spoke to Moses;

22  And if, through ignorance, you neglect any of these things, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,

15:23  even all that YHWH hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the YHWH gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;

23  as the Lord appointed you by the hand of Moses, from the day which the Lord appointed you and forward throughout your generations,

23  and which he has commanded through him for you, from the day that he began to command and thereafter,

15:24  then it shall be, if it be done in error by the congregation, it being hid from their eyes, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savour unto YHWH--with the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance--and one he-goat for a sin-offering.

24  then it shall come to pass, if a trespass be committed unwillingly, unknown to the congregation, then shall all the congregation offer a calf of the herd without blemish for a whole-burnt-offering of sweet savour to the Lord, and its meat-offering and its drink-offering according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering.

24  and if the multitude will have forgotten to do it, then they shall offer a calf from the herd, a holocaust as a most sweet odor to the Lord, and its sacrifice and libations, just as the ceremonies ask, and a he-goat for sin.

15:25  And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire unto YHWH, and their sin-offering before the YHWH, for their error.

25  And the priest shall pray for the entire multitude of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, because they did not sin willfully. Nevertheless, they shall offer incense to the Lord for themselves, and for sin, as well as for their error.

15:26  And all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for in respect of all the people it was done in error.

26  And it shall be forgiven as respects all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that is abiding among you, because it is involuntary to all the people.

26  And it shall be forgiven all the people of the sons of Israel, as well as the newcomers who sojourn among them, for it is the culpability of all the people through neglect.

15:27  And if one person sin through error, then he shall offer a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.

27  And if one soul sin unwillingly, he shall bring one she-goat of a year old for a sin-offering.

27  But if one soul will have sinned by not knowing, he shall offer a one-year-old she-goat for his sin.

15:28  And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth through error, before YHWH, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven,

28  And the priest shall pray for him, because he sinned unknowingly before the Lord. And he shall obtain pardon for him, and it will be forgiven him.

15:29  both he that is home-born among the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them: ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught in error.

29  One law shall be for all who sin by ignorance, as much for natives as for newcomers.

29  You shall have one law for him who does anything through ignorance, both for the children of Israel and for the proselytes who sojourn among you.

15:30  But the soul that doeth aught with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a stranger, the same blasphemeth YHWH; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15:31  Because he hath despised the word of YHWH, and hath broken His commandment; that soul shall utterly be cut off, his iniquity shall be upon him.

31  for he has set at nought the word of the Lord and broken his commands: that soul shall be utterly destroyed, his sin is upon him.

31  For he has despised the word of the Lord, and he has nullified his precept. For this reason, he shall be destroyed, and he shall bear his iniquity.”

15:32  And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.

32  And it happened that, when the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, and they had found a man collecting wood on the day of the Sabbath,

15:33  And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

33  And they who found him gathering sticks on the sabbath-day brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel.

33  they brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to the whole multitude.

15:34  And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

34  And they placed him in custody, for they did not determine what they should do to him.

34  And they enclosed him in a prison, not knowing what they should do with him.

15:35  And YHWH said unto Moses: 'The man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.'

35  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Let the man be by all means put to death: do ye all the congregation, stone him with stones.

35  And the Lord said to Moses, “Let that man be put to death; let the entire crowd crush him with stones, outside the camp.”

15:36  And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as YHWH commanded Moses.

36  And when they had led him out, they overwhelmed him with stones, and he died, just as the Lord had instructed.

15:37  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

37  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

37  The Lord also said to Moses

15:38  'Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them throughout their generations fringes in the corners of their garments, and that they put with the fringe of each corner a thread of blue.

38  Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them; and let them make for themselves fringes upon the borders of their garments throughout their generations: and ye shall put upon the fringes of the borders a lace of blue.

38  “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall tell them to make for themselves hems at the corners of their cloaks, placing in them ribbons of hyacinth,

15:39  And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of YHWH, and do them; and that ye go not about after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go astray;

39  And it shall be on your fringes, and ye shall look on them, and ye shall remember all the commands of the Lord, and do them: and ye shall not turn back after your imaginations, and after the sight of your eyes in the things after which ye go a whoring;

39  so that, when they see these, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and they may not follow their own thoughts and eyes, fornicating in various ways,

15:40  that ye may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy unto your God.

40  but instead, they, being more mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and may be holy to their God.

15:41  I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the YHWH your God.'

41  I am the Lord your God that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.
