NUM 4:48 Even those that were numbered of them, were shmonat alafim vachamesh me'ot ushmonim (eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore) ,

NUM 4:49 According to the command of Hashem they were numbered by the hand of Moshe, every one according to his Avodah (Service) , and according to his Massa (Burden) ; thus were they counted of him, as Hashem commanded Moshe.

NUM 5:1 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

NUM 5:2 Command the Bnei Yisroel, that they put out of the machaneh every tzaru'a, and every one that hath a discharge, and whosoever is tameh lanefesh (unclean, defiled by reason of contact with a corpse) ,

NUM 5:3 Both zachar and nekevah shall ye put out, without the machaneh shall ye put them; that they defile not their machanot, in the midst whereof I dwell.

NUM 5:4 And the Bnei Yisroel did so, and put them outside the machaneh; just as Hashem spoke unto Moshe, so did the Bnei Yisroel.

NUM 5:5 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

NUM 5:6 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, When a man or woman shall commit any chattot that men commit, l'me'ol ma'al ba Hashem (thereby trespassing against Hashem ) , and feels guilty;

NUM 5:7 Then they shall make vidduy (confession of sin) of their chattot which they have committed; and shall make reparation in full, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom they hath incurred liability.

NUM 5:8 But if the man have no go'el unto whom reparation for the asham can be made, let the asham be recompensed unto Hashem , even to the kohen, besides the ram of the kippurim, whereby a kapporah shall be made on his behalf.

NUM 5:9 And every terumah of all the holy things of the Bnei Yisroel, which they bring unto the kohen, shall be his.

NUM 5:10 And every manʼs things set apart as kodesh shall be his; whatsoever any man giveth the kohen, it shall be his.

NUM 5:11 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

NUM 5:12 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, If any manʼs isha go aside, and commit a trespass against him,

NUM 5:13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her ish, and she become tameh secretly, and there be no ed (witness) against her, neither she be caught;

NUM 5:14 And a ruach kina (spirit of jealousy) come upon him, and he be jealous of his isha, and she be tameh; or if a ruach kina come upon him, and he be jealous of his isha, and she be not tameh;

NUM 5:15 Then shall the ish bring his isha unto the kohen, and he shall bring her korban for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no shemen upon it, nor put incense thereon; for it is a minchat kenaot (grain offering of jealousies) , a minchat zikaron (grain offering of memorial) , bringing avon to remembrance.

NUM 5:16 And the kohen shall bring her near, and set her before Hashem ;

NUM 5:17 And the kohen shall take mayim kedoshim in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the Mishkan the kohen shall take, and put it into the mayim;

NUM 5:18 And the kohen shall set the isha before Hashem , and unbind the hair of the isha, and put the minchat hazikaron in her hands, which is the minchat kena'ot; and the kohen shall have in his hand the mei hamarim hame'ararim (waters of bitterness that causeth the curse) ;

NUM 5:19 And the kohen shall put her under oath, and say unto the isha, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not turned astray to tum'a (uncleanness, impurity) with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from these mei hamarim hame'ararim;

NUM 5:20 But if thou hast turned astray to another instead of thy ish, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee other than thine ish;

NUM 5:21 Then the kohen shall put the isha under oath with the oath of the curse, and the kohen shall say unto the isha, Hashem make thee an alah (curse) and a shevu'ah (oath) among thy people, when Hashem doth make thy thigh to waste away, and thy belly to swell;

NUM 5:22 And this mayim that causeth the curse shall go into thy inner parts, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to waste away; And the isha shall say, Omen, Omen.

NUM 5:23 And the kohen shall write these alot (curses) on a sefer, and he shall wash them into the mei hamarim;

NUM 5:24 And he shall cause the isha to drink the mei hamarim hame'ararim; and the mayim hame'ararim shall enter into her, and become bitter.

NUM 5:25 Then the kohen shall take the minchat hakena'ot out of the yad haisha, and shall wave the minchah before Hashem , and offer it upon the Mizbe'ach:

NUM 5:26 And the kohen shall take a handful of the minchah, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the Mizbe'ach, and afterward shall cause the isha to drink the mayim.

NUM 5:27 And when he hath made her to drink the mayim, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her ish, that the mayim hame'ararim shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall waste away; and the isha shall become a curse among her people.

NUM 5:28 And if the isha be not defiled, but be tehorah (clean) ; then she shall be free, and shall conceive zera.

NUM 5:29 This is the torat hakena'ot (law of jealousy) , when an isha goeth astray to another instead of her ish, and is defiled;

NUM 5:30 Or when the ruach kinah cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his isha, and shall set the isha before Hashem , and the kohen shall execute upon her all this torah.

NUM 5:31 Then shall the ish be free from guilt from avon, and this isha shall bear her avon.

NUM 6:1 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

NUM 6:2 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, When either ish or isha shall separate themselves to vow a neder of a Nazir, to separate themselves unto Hashem ;

NUM 6:3 He shall separate himself from yayin and shechar (fermented drink) , and shall drink no chometz (vinegar) of yayin, or chometz of shechar, neither shall he drink any grape juice, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.

NUM 6:4 Kol hayamim of his nazir (vow as a nazir) shall he eat nothing that is made of the gefen hayayin, from the seeds even to the grape-skins.

NUM 6:5 Kol hayamim of the neder of his nazir there shall no razor come upon his head; until hayamim be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto Hashem , he shall be kadosh, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.

NUM 6:6 Kol yemei of his nezer (abstinence) unto Hashem he shall go not near nefesh met (dead body) .

NUM 6:7 He shall not make himself tameh for his av, or for his em, for his ach, or for his achot, when they die; because the Nezer Elohav (Consecration of his G-d) is upon his head.

NUM 6:8 Kol yemei of his nazir (separation) he is kadosh unto Hashem .

NUM 6:9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath made tameh the head of his nezer (abstinence) ; then he shall shave his head in the yom of his tohorah, on the yom hashevi'i shall he shave it.

NUM 6:10 And on the yom hashemi'ni he shall bring two doves, or two young pigeons, to the kohen, to the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed;

NUM 6:11 And the kohen shall offer the one for a chattat (sin offering) , and the other for an olah (burnt offering) , and make kapporah for him, because he sinned by the nefesh (dead body) , and shall make kadosh his head that same day.

NUM 6:12 And he shall consecrate unto Hashem the yemei of his nazir, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for an asham (trespass offering) ; but the yamim harishonim shall not be counted, because his nazir was tameh.

NUM 6:13 And this is the Torat HaNazir, when the yamim of his nazir are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed;

NUM 6:14 And he shall offer his korban unto Hashem , one he-lamb of the first year tamim (without blemish) for an olah (burnt offering) , and one ewe lamb of the first year temimah (without blemish) for a chattat, and one ram tamim (without blemish) for shelamim (peace offerings) ,

NUM 6:15 And a basket of matzot, cakes of fine flour mingled with shemen, and wafers of matzot meshuchim (anointed) with oil, and their minchot (grain offerings) , and their nesakhim (drink offerings) .

NUM 6:16 And the kohen shall bring them before Hashem , and shall offer his chattat, and his olah (burnt offering) ;

NUM 6:17 And he shall offer the ram for a zevach shelamim (sacrifice of peace offerings) unto Hashem , with the basket of matzot; the kohen shall offer also his minchah (grain offering) , and his nesekh (drink offering) .

NUM 6:18 And the Nazir shall shave the head of his nezer at the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed, and shall take the hair of the head of his nezer, and put it in the eish (fire) which is under the zevach hashelamim (sacrifice of peace offerings) .

NUM 6:19 And the kohen shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one challat matzah (loaf of matzah) out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazir, after the hair of his nezer (abstinence) is shaven;

NUM 6:20 And the kohen shall wave them for a wave offering before Hashem ; this is kodesh for the kohen, with the breast of the wave offering and thigh of the terumah (raised-up presentation) ; and after that the Nazir may drink yayin.

NUM 6:21 This is the Torat HaNazir who hath vowed, and of his korban unto Hashem for his nezer (abstinence) , in addition to whatever else his hand shall afford, according to the neder (vow) which he vowed, so he must do after the torah of his Nazir.

NUM 6:22 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

NUM 6:23 Speak unto Aharon and unto his Banim, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the Bnei Yisroel, saying unto them,

NUM 6:24 Y'varekhekha Adonai v'yishmerekha ( Hashem bless thee, and keep thee) ;

NUM 6:25 Ya'er Adonai panav eleikha vichunekha ( Hashem make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee) ;

NUM 6:26 Yissa Adonai panav eleikha v'yasem l'kha shalom ( Hashem lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee shalom) .

NUM 6:27 And they shall put My Shem upon the Bnei Yisroel, and I will bless them.

NUM 7:1 And it came to pass on the day that Moshe had fully set up the Mishkan, and had anointed it, and set it apart as kodesh, and all the instruments thereof, both the Mizbe'ach and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and set them apart as kodesh,

NUM 7:2 That the Nasiim (Rulers) of Yisroel, heads of the Bais of their Avot, who were the Nasiim of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered;

NUM 7:3 And they brought their korban before Hashem , six covered carts, and twelve oxen; a cart for two of the Nasiim, and for each one an ox; and they brought them before the Mishkan.

NUM 7:4 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

NUM 7:5 Take it of them, that they may be for the service of the Ohel Mo'ed; and thou shalt give them unto the Levi'im, to every man according to his service.

NUM 7:6 And Moshe took the carts and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levi'im.

NUM 7:7 Two carts and four oxen he gave unto the Bnei Gershon, according to their service;

NUM 7:8 And four carts and eight oxen he gave unto the Bnei Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Itamar ben Aharon HaKohen.

NUM 7:9 But unto the Bnei Kehat he gave none, because the service of HaKodesh belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.

NUM 7:10 And the Nasiim offered for dedicating of the Mizbe'ach in the day that it was anointed, even the Nasiim (Rulers) offered their korban before the Mizbe'ach.

NUM 8:6 Take the Levi'im from among the Bnei Yisroel, and make them tahor.

NUM 8:7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to make them tahor: Sprinkle water of purification upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over their basar, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves tahor.

NUM 8:8 Then let them take a young bull with its minchah, even fine flour mixed with shemen, and another young bull shalt thou take for a chattat.

NUM 8:9 And thou shalt bring the Levi'im before the Ohel Mo'ed: and thou shalt gather Kol Adat Bnei Yisroel together;

NUM 8:10 And thou shalt bring the Levi'im before Hashem ; and the Bnei Yisroel shall lay their hands upon the Levi'im;

NUM 8:11 And Aharon shall offer the Levi'im before Hashem for a tenufah from the Bnei Yisroel, that they may perform the Avodat Hashem .

NUM 8:12 And the Levi'im shall lay their hands upon the rosh of the bulls; and thou shalt offer the one for a chattat, and the other for an olah, unto Hashem , to make kapporah for the Levi'im.

NUM 8:15 And after that shall the Levi'im go in to do the service of the Ohel Mo'ed; and thou shalt make them tahor and offer them for a tenufah.

NUM 8:16 For they are wholly given unto Me from among the Bnei Yisroel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the Bechor Kol Bnei Yisroel, have I taken them unto Me.

NUM 8:17 For Kol Bechor Bnei Yisroel are Mine, both adam and behemah; on the day that I struck down kol bechor in Eretz Mitzrayim I set them apart as kodesh for Myself.

NUM 8:18 And I have taken the Levi'im takhat (instead of) Kol Bechor Bnei Yisroel.

NUM 8:19 And I have given the Levi'im as a gift to Aharon and to his Banim from among the Bnei Yisroel, to do the Avodat Bnei Yisroel in the Ohel Mo'ed, and to make kapporah for the Bnei Yisroel; so that there be no plague among the Bnei Yisroel, when the Bnei Yisroel come near unto HaKodesh.

NUM 8:23 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

NUM 8:24 This is it that belongeth unto the Levi'im: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall enter to perform service in the Avodat Ohel Mo'ed;

NUM 8:25 And from the age of fifty years they shall retire from the service of the Avodah and shall serve no more;

NUM 8:26 But shall assist with their brethren in the Ohel Mo'ed, in performing their duties, and shall do no Avodah. Thus shalt thou do with the Levi'im regarding their duties.

NUM 9:1 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe in the Midbar Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of Eretz Mitzrayim, saying,

NUM 9:2 Let the Bnei Yisroel also observe the Pesach at its appointed season.

NUM 9:3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, ye shall observe it in its appointed season; according to kol chukkot of it, according to all the mishpatim thereof, shall ye observe it.

NUM 9:5 And they observed the Pesach on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight in the Midbar Sinai; according to all that Hashem commanded Moshe, so did the Bnei Yisroel.

NUM 9:6 And there were certain men, who were teme'im by the nefesh (dead body) of an adam, that they could not observe the Pesach on that day; and they came before Moshe and before Aharon on that day;

NUM 9:7 And those men said unto him, We are teme'im (unclean) by the nefesh of a man; but why should we be kept back, that we may not offer a korban Hashem in its appointed season among the Bnei Yisroel?

NUM 9:8 And Moshe said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what Hashem will command concerning you.

NUM 9:9 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

NUM 9:10 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, If any man of you or of your descendants shall be tamei by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall observe the Pesach unto Hashem .

NUM 9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month at twilight they shall observe it, and eat it with matzot and merorim (bitter herbs) .

NUM 9:12 They shall leave none of it unto boker, nor break any bone of it; according to all the chukkat of the Pesach they shall observe it.

NUM 9:13 But the man that is tahor, and is not in a journey, and faileth to observe the Pesach, even the same nefesh shall be cut off from among his people; because he brought not the korban Hashem at its appointed time, that man shall bear his sin.

NUM 9:14 And if a ger shall stay for a while among you, and will observe the Pesach unto Hashem ; according to the chukkat of the Pesach, and according to the mishpat thereof, so shall he do; ye shall have one chukkat, both for the ger, and for him that was born in the land.

NUM 9:15 And on the day that the Mishkan was set up the Anan covered the Mishkan, namely, the Ohel HaEdut; and at erev there was upon the Mishkan as it were the appearance of eish, until boker.

NUM 9:16 So it was tamid: the Anan covered it by day, and the appearance of eish by lailah.

NUM 9:17 And when the Anan was lifted up from the Ohel, then after that the Bnei Yisroel set out; and in the place where the Anan abode, there the Bnei Yisroel encamped.

NUM 9:18 At the mouth of Hashem the Bnei Yisroel set out, and at the mouth of Hashem they encamped; as long as the Anan abode upon the Mishkan they encamped.

NUM 9:19 And when the Anan tarried long upon the Mishkan many days, then the Bnei Yisroel obeyed the order of Hashem , and did not set out.

NUM 9:20 And so it was, when the Anan was a few days upon the Mishkan; according to the mouth of Hashem they encamped; according to the mouth of Hashem they set out.

NUM 9:21 And so it was, when the Anan abode from erev unto boker, and that the Anan was lifted up in the boker, then they set out; whether it was by yomam valailah that the Anan was lifted up, they set out.

NUM 9:22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or longer, that the Anan tarried over the Mishkan remaining thereon, the Bnei Yisroel abode in their tents, and did not set out; but when it was lifted up, they set out.

NUM 9:23 At the mouth of Hashem they encamped, and at the mouth of Hashem they set out; they obeyed the order of Hashem , at the mouth of Hashem by the hand of Moshe.

NUM 10:1 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

NUM 10:2 Make thee two khatzotzerot (trumpets) of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them; that thou mayest use them for the calling of the Edah, and for the setting out of the machanot.

NUM 10:3 And when they shall sound them, Kol HaEdah shall assemble themselves to thee at the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed.

NUM 10:4 And if they sound but with one, then the Nasi'im, which are heads of Yisroelʼs thousands, shall gather themselves unto thee.

NUM 10:5 When ye sound a teruah, then the machanot that camp on the east shall go forward.

NUM 10:6 When ye sound a teruah the second time, then the machanot that camp on the south shall set out; they shall sound a teruah for their settings out.

NUM 10:7 But when the Kahal is to be gathered together, ye shall sound it, but ye shall not sound a teruah.

NUM 10:8 And the Bnei Aharon, the kohanim, shall sound the khatzotzerot; and they shall be to you for a chukkat olam throughout your dorot.

NUM 10:9 And if ye go into milchamah (battle) in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound a blast on the khatzotzerot; and ye shall be remembered before Hashem Eloheichem, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

NUM 10:10 Also in the day of your simcha, and in your moadim, and in the Rosh-Chodesh, ye shall sound a blast on the khatzotzerot over your olot, and over the zevakhim of your shelamim; that they may be to you for a memorial reminder before Eloheichem: I am Hashem Eloheichem.

NUM 10:11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the Anan was lifted up from off the Mishkan HaEdut.

NUM 10:12 And the Bnei Yisroel set out in their travels from the Midbar Sinai; and the Anan rested in the Midbar Paran.

NUM 10:13 And they first set out according to the mouth of Hashem by the hand of Moshe.
