Numbers 25
[1] And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom
with the daughters of Moab.
[2] And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the
people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. [3] And Israel joined himself
unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
[4] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and
hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the
LORD may be turned away from Israel.
[5] And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men
that were joined unto Baal-peor.
[6] And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his
brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all
the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation. [7] And when Phinehas, the son
of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the
congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; [8] And he went after the man
of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of
Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the
children of Israel. [9] And those that died in the plague were twenty and
four thousand. [10] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [11] Phinehas,
the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away
from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them,
that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. [12] Wherefore
say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: [13] And he shall have
it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood;
because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children
of Israel. [14] Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was
slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a
chief house among the Simeonites.
[15] And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the
daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
[16] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [17] Vex the Midianites, and
smite them: [18] For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have
beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the
daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of
the plague for Peor's sake.

Numbers 26
[1] And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, [2] Take the sum of
all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and
upward, throughout their father's house, all that are able to go to war in
Israel.
[3] And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab
by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
[4] Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as the
LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of
the land of Egypt.

against the LORD:
[10] And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with

give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given
according to those that were numbered of him. [55] Notwithstanding the land

all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the
children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the
children of Israel.

wilderness of Sinai.

wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

Numbers 27
[1] Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of
Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh
the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah,
and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. [2] And they stood before Moses, and
before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation,
by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
[3] Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of
them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of
Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons. [4] Why should the name of
our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give
unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
[5] And Moses brought their cause before the LORD. [6] And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying, [7] The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt
surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's
brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto
them. [8] And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a
man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto
his daughter.
[9] And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
[10] And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his father's brethren.
[11] And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance
unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess
it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as
the LORD commanded Moses.
[12] And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and
see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel. [13] And when
thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron
thy brother was gathered. [14] For ye rebelled against my commandment in
the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the
water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the
wilderness of Zin. [15] And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying, [16] Let the
LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
[17] Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and
which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation
of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd. [18] And the LORD said
unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit,
and lay thine hand upon him; [19] And set him before Eleazar the priest,
and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. [20]
And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation
of the children of Israel may be obedient. [21] And he shall stand before
Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of
Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they
shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all
the congregation. [22] And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took
Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation: [23] And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge,
as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
