Numbers 23 New International Version (NIV)

Balaam’s First Message 23 Balaam said, “Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.” 2 Balak did as Balaam said, and the two of them offered a bull and a ram on each altar.3 Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your offering while I go aside. Perhaps the Lord will come to meet with me. Whatever he reveals to me I will tell you.” Then he went off to a barren height.4 God met with him, and Balaam said, “I have prepared seven altars, and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.”5 The Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth and said, “Go back to Balak and give him this word.”6 So he went back to him and found him standing beside his offering, with all the Moabite officials. 7 Then Balaam spoke his message:“Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the eastern mountains.‘Come,’ he said, ‘curse Jacob for me; come, denounce Israel.’8 How can I curse those whom God has not cursed?How can I denounce those whom the Lord has not denounced?9 From the rocky peaks I see them, from the heights I view them.I see a people who live apart and do not consider themselves one of the nations.10 Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel?Let me die the death of the righteous, and may my final end be like theirs!”11 Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but you have done nothing but bless them!”12 He answered, “Must I not speak what the Lord puts in my mouth?” Balaam’s Second Message 13 Then Balak said to him, “Come with me to another place where you can see them; you will not see them all but only the outskirts of their camp. And from there, curse them for me.” 14 So he took him to the field of Zophim on the top of Pisgah, and there he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.15 Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your offering while I meet with him over there.”16 The Lord met with Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, “Go back to Balak and give him this word.”17 So he went to him and found him standing beside his offering, with the Moabite officials. Balak asked him, “What did the Lord say?”18 Then he spoke his message:“Arise, Balak, and listen; hear me, son of Zippor.19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?20 I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.21 “No misfortune is seen in Jacob, no misery observed[a] in Israel.The Lord their God is with them; the shout of the King is among them.22 God brought them out of Egypt; they have the strength of a wild ox.23 There is no divination against[b] Jacob, no evil omens against[c] Israel.It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’24 The people rise like a lioness; they rouse themselves like a lionthat does not rest till it devours its prey and drinks the blood of its victims.”25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”26 Balaam answered, “Did I not tell you I must do whatever the Lord says?” Balaam’s Third Message 27 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Come, let me take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them for me from there.” 28 And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, overlooking the wasteland.29 Balaam said, “Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.” 30 Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

Numbers 24 New International Version (NIV)

24 Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not resort to divination as at other times, but turned his face toward the wilderness. 2 When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came on him 3 and he spoke his message: “The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,4 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty,[a] who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:5 “How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, your dwelling places, Israel!6 “Like valleys they spread out, like gardens beside a river, like aloes planted by the Lord, like cedars beside the waters.7 Water will flow from their buckets; their seed will have abundant water.“Their king will be greater than Agag; their kingdom will be exalted.8 “God brought them out of Egypt; they have the strength of a wild ox.They devour hostile nations and break their bones in pieces; with their arrows they pierce them.9 Like a lion they crouch and lie down, like a lioness—who dares to rouse them?“May those who bless you be blessed and those who curse you be cursed!”10 Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam. He struck his hands together and said to him, “I summoned you to curse my enemies, but you have blessed them these three times. 11 Now leave at once and go home! I said I would reward you handsomely, but the Lord has kept you from being rewarded.”12 Balaam answered Balak, “Did I not tell the messengers you sent me, 13 ‘Even if Balak gave me all the silver and gold in his palace, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the Lord—and I must say only what the Lord says’? 14 Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you of what this people will do to your people in days to come.” Balaam’s Fourth Message 15 Then he spoke his message:“The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,16 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High,who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:17 “I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near.A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel.He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls[b] of[c] all the people of Sheth.[d]18 Edom will be conquered; Seir, his enemy, will be conquered, but Israel will grow strong.19 A ruler will come out of Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city.” Balaam’s Fifth Message 20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and spoke his message:“Amalek was first among the nations, but their end will be utter destruction.” Balaam’s Sixth Message 21 Then he saw the Kenites and spoke his message:“Your dwelling place is secure, your nest is set in a rock;22 yet you Kenites will be destroyed when Ashur takes you captive.” Balaam’s Seventh Message 23 Then he spoke his message:“Alas! Who can live when God does this?[e]24 Ships will come from the shores of Cyprus; they will subdue Ashur and Eber, but they too will come to ruin.” 25 Then Balaam got up and returned home, and Balak went his own way.

Numbers 25 New International Version (NIV)

Moab Seduces Israel 25 While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women, 2 who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down before these gods. 3 So Israel yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor. And the Lord’s anger burned against them.4 The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of these people, kill them and expose them in broad daylight before the Lord, so that the Lord’s fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”5 So Moses said to Israel’s judges, “Each of you must put to death those of your people who have yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor.”6 Then an Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 7 When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand 8 and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear into both of them, right through the Israelite man and into the woman’s stomach. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped; 9 but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.10 The Lord said to Moses, 11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites. Since he was as zealous for my honor among them as I am, I did not put an end to them in my zeal. 12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him. 13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites.”14 The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family. 15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was put to death was Kozbi daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family.16 The Lord said to Moses, 17 “Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them. 18 They treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the Peor incident involving their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, the woman who was killed when the plague came as a result of that incident.”

Numbers 26 New International Version (NIV)

The Second Census 26 After the plague the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest, 2 “Take a census of the whole Israelite community by families—all those twenty years old or more who are able to serve in the army of Israel.” 3 So on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them and said, 4 “Take a census of the men twenty years old or more, as the Lord commanded Moses.”These were the Israelites who came out of Egypt:5 The descendants of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel, were:through Hanok, the Hanokite clan;through Pallu, the Palluite clan;6 through Hezron, the Hezronite clan;through Karmi, the Karmite clan.7 These were the clans of Reuben; those numbered were 43,730.8 The son of Pallu was Eliab, 9 and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. The same Dathan and Abiram were the community officials who rebelled against Moses and Aaron and were among Korah’s followers when they rebelled against the Lord. 10 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah, whose followers died when the fire devoured the 250 men. And they served as a warning sign. 11 The line of Korah, however, did not die out.12 The descendants of Simeon by their clans were:through Nemuel, the Nemuelite clan;through Jamin, the Jaminite clan;through Jakin, the Jakinite clan;13 through Zerah, the Zerahite clan;through Shaul, the Shaulite clan.14 These were the clans of Simeon; those numbered were 22,200.15 The descendants of Gad by their clans were:through Zephon, the Zephonite clan;through Haggi, the Haggite clan;through Shuni, the Shunite clan;16 through Ozni, the Oznite clan;through Eri, the Erite clan;17 through Arodi,[a] the Arodite clan;through Areli, the Arelite clan.18 These were the clans of Gad; those numbered were 40,500.19 Er and Onan were sons of Judah, but they died in Canaan.20 The descendants of Judah by their clans were:through Shelah, the Shelanite clan;through Perez, the Perezite clan;through Zerah, the Zerahite clan.21 The descendants of Perez were:through Hezron, the Hezronite clan;through Hamul, the Hamulite clan.22 These were the clans of Judah; those numbered were 76,500.23 The descendants of Issachar by their clans were:through Tola, the Tolaite clan;through Puah, the Puite[b] clan;24 through Jashub, the Jashubite clan;through Shimron, the Shimronite clan.25 These were the clans of Issachar; those numbered were 64,300.26 The descendants of Zebulun by their clans were:through Sered, the Seredite clan;through Elon, the Elonite clan;through Jahleel, the Jahleelite clan.27 These were the clans of Zebulun; those numbered were 60,500.28 The descendants of Joseph by their clans through Manasseh and Ephraim were:29 The descendants of Manasseh:through Makir, the Makirite clan (Makir was the father of Gilead);through Gilead, the Gileadite clan.30 These were the descendants of Gilead:through Iezer, the Iezerite clan;through Helek, the Helekite clan;31 through Asriel, the Asrielite clan;through Shechem, the Shechemite clan;32 through Shemida, the Shemidaite clan;through Hepher, the Hepherite clan.33 (Zelophehad son of Hepher had no sons; he had only daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah.)34 These were the clans of Manasseh; those numbered were 52,700.35 These were the descendants of Ephraim by their clans:through Shuthelah, the Shuthelahite clan;through Beker, the Bekerite clan;through Tahan, the Tahanite clan.36 These were the descendants of Shuthelah:through Eran, the Eranite clan.37 These were the clans of Ephraim; those numbered were 32,500.These were the descendants of Joseph by their clans.38 The descendants of Benjamin by their clans were:through Bela, the Belaite clan;through Ashbel, the Ashbelite clan;through Ahiram, the Ahiramite clan;39 through Shupham,[c] the Shuphamite clan;through Hupham, the Huphamite clan.40 The descendants of Bela through Ard and Naaman were:through Ard,[d] the Ardite clan;through Naaman, the Naamite clan.41 These were the clans of Benjamin; those numbered were 45,600.42 These were the descendants of Dan by their clans:through Shuham, the Shuhamite clan.These were the clans of Dan: 43 All of them were Shuhamite clans; and those numbered were 64,400.44 The descendants of Asher by their clans were:through Imnah, the Imnite clan;through Ishvi, the Ishvite clan;through Beriah, the Beriite clan;45 and through the descendants of Beriah:through Heber, the Heberite clan;through Malkiel, the Malkielite clan.46 (Asher had a daughter named Serah.)47 These were the clans of Asher; those numbered were 53,400.48 The descendants of Naphtali by their clans were:through Jahzeel, the Jahzeelite clan;through Guni, the Gunite clan;49 through Jezer, the Jezerite clan;through Shillem, the Shillemite clan.50 These were the clans of Naphtali; those numbered were 45,400.51 The total number of the men of Israel was 601,730.52 The Lord said to Moses, 53 “The land is to be allotted to them as an inheritance based on the number of names. 54 To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one; each is to receive its inheritance according to the number of those listed. 55 Be sure that the land is distributed by lot. What each group inherits will be according to the names for its ancestral tribe. 56 Each inheritance is to be distributed by lot among the larger and smaller groups.”57 These were the Levites who were counted by their clans:through Gershon, the Gershonite clan;through Kohath, the Kohathite clan;through Merari, the Merarite clan.58 These also were Levite clans:the Libnite clan,the Hebronite clan,the Mahlite clan,the Mushite clan,the Korahite clan.(Kohath was the forefather of Amram; 59 the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, a descendant of Levi, who was born to the Levites[e] in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses and their sister Miriam. 60 Aaron was the father of Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 61 But Nadab and Abihu died when they made an offering before the Lord with unauthorized fire.)62 All the male Levites a month old or more numbered 23,000. They were not counted along with the other Israelites because they received no inheritance among them.63 These are the ones counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho. 64 Not one of them was among those counted by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Desert of Sinai. 65 For the Lord had told those Israelites they would surely die in the wilderness, and not one of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

Numbers 27 New International Version (NIV)

Zelophehad’s Daughters 27 The daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. The names of the daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah. They came forward 2 and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders and the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said, 3 “Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among Korah’s followers, who banded together against the Lord, but he died for his own sin and left no sons. 4 Why should our father’s name disappear from his clan because he had no son? Give us property among our father’s relatives.”5 So Moses brought their case before the Lord, 6 and the Lord said to him, 7 “What Zelophehad’s daughters are saying is right. You must certainly give them property as an inheritance among their father’s relatives and give their father’s inheritance to them.8 “Say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter. 9 If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. 11 If his father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess it. This is to have the force of law for the Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.’” Joshua to Succeed Moses 12 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain in the Abarim Range and see the land I have given the Israelites. 13 After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was, 14 for when the community rebelled at the waters in the Desert of Zin, both of you disobeyed my command to honor me as holy before their eyes.” (These were the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)15 Moses said to the Lord, 16 “May the Lord, the God who gives breath to all living things, appoint someone over this community 17 to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the Lord’s people will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”18 So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit of leadership,[a] and lay your hand on him. 19 Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire assembly and commission him in their presence. 20 Give him some of your authority so the whole Israelite community will obey him. 21 He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the Lord. At his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will come in.”22 Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole assembly. 23 Then he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the Lord instructed through Moses.

Numbers 28 New International Version (NIV)

Daily Offerings 28 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Give this command to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Make sure that you present to me at the appointed time my food offerings, as an aroma pleasing to me.’ 3 Say to them: ‘This is the food offering you are to present to the Lord: two lambs a year old without defect, as a regular burnt offering each day. 4 Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight, 5 together with a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah[a] of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin[b] of oil from pressed olives. 6 This is the regular burnt offering instituted at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord. 7 The accompanying drink offering is to be a quarter of a hin of fermented drink with each lamb. Pour out the drink offering to the Lord at the sanctuary. 8 Offer the second lamb at twilight, along with the same kind of grain offering and drink offering that you offer in the morning. This is a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord. Sabbath Offerings 9 “‘On the Sabbath day, make an offering of two lambs a year old without defect, together with its drink offering and a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah[c] of the finest flour mixed with olive oil. 10 This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering. Monthly Offerings 11 “‘On the first of every month, present to the Lord a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old, all without defect. 12 With each bull there is to be a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah[d] of the finest flour mixed with oil; with the ram, a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil; 13 and with each lamb, a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil. This is for a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord. 14 With each bull there is to be a drink offering of half a hin[e] of wine; with the ram, a third of a hin[f]; and with each lamb, a quarter of a hin. This is the monthly burnt offering to be made at each new moon during the year. 15 Besides the regular burnt offering with its drink offering, one male goat is to be presented to the Lord as a sin offering.[g] The Passover 16 “‘On the fourteenth day of the first month the Lord’s Passover is to be held. 17 On the fifteenth day of this month there is to be a festival; for seven days eat bread made without yeast. 18 On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. 19 Present to the Lord a food offering consisting of a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old, all without defect. 20 With each bull offer a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil; with the ram, two-tenths; 21 and with each of the seven lambs, one-tenth. 22 Include one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you. 23 Offer these in addition to the regular morning burnt offering. 24 In this way present the food offering every day for seven days as an aroma pleasing to the Lord; it is to be offered in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering. 25 On the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. The Festival of Weeks 26 “‘On the day of firstfruits, when you present to the Lord an offering of new grain during the Festival of Weeks, hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. 27 Present a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 28 With each bull there is to be a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil; with the ram, two-tenths; 29 and with each of the seven lambs, one-tenth. 30 Include one male goat to make atonement for you. 31 Offer these together with their drink offerings, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its grain offering.

Numbers 30 New International Version (NIV)

Vows 30 [a]Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel: “This is what the Lord commands: 2 When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.3 “When a young woman still living in her father’s household makes a vow to the Lord or obligates herself by a pledge 4 and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all her vows and every pledge by which she obligated herself will stand. 5 But if her father forbids her when he hears about it, none of her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand; the Lord will release her because her father has forbidden her.6 “If she marries after she makes a vow or after her lips utter a rash promise by which she obligates herself 7 and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, then her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. 8 But if her husband forbids her when he hears about it, he nullifies the vow that obligates her or the rash promise by which she obligates herself, and the Lord will release her.9 “Any vow or obligation taken by a widow or divorced woman will be binding on her.10 “If a woman living with her husband makes a vow or obligates herself by a pledge under oath 11 and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her and does not forbid her, then all her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. 12 But if her husband nullifies them when he hears about them, then none of the vows or pledges that came from her lips will stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the Lord will release her. 13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself.[b] 14 But if her husband says nothing to her about it from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or the pledges binding on her. He confirms them by saying nothing to her when he hears about them. 15 If, however, he nullifies them some time after he hears about them, then he must bear the consequences of her wrongdoing.”16 These are the regulations the Lord gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and his young daughter still living at home.
