And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
To these shall the land be divided for their possessions according to the number of names.
To the greater number thou shalt give a greater portion, and to the fewer a less: to every one, as they have now been reckoned up, shall a possession be delivered:
Yet so that by lot the land be divided to the tribe and families.
Whatsoever shall fall by lot, that shall be taken by the more, or the fewer.
This also is the number of the sons of Levi by their families: Gerson, of whom is the family of the Gersonites: Caath, of whom is the family of the Caathites: Merari, of whom is the family of the Merarites.
These are the families of Levi: The family of Lobni, the family of Hebroni, the family of Core. Now Caath begot Amram:
Who had to wife Jochabed the daughter of Levi, who was born to him in Egypt. She bore to her husband Amram sons, Aaron and Moses, and Mary their sister.
Of Aaron were born Nadab and Abiu, and Eleazar and Ithamar:
Of whom Nadab and Abiu died, when they had offered the strange fire before the Lord.
And all that were numbered, were twenty-three thousand males from one month old and upward: for they were not reckoned up among the children of Israel, neither was a possession given to them with the rest.
This is the number of the children of Israel, that were enrolled by Moses and Eleazar the priest, in the plains of Moab upon the Jordan, over against Jericho.
Among whom there was not one of them that were numbered before by Moses and Aaron in the desert of Sinai.
For the Lord had foretold that they should die in the wilderness. And none remained of them, but Caleb the son of Jephone, and Josue the son of Nun.
Then came the daughters of Salphaad, the son of Hepher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasses, who was the son of Joseph: and their names are Maala, and Noa, and Hegla, and Melcha, and Thersa.
And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the people at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and said:
Our father died in the desert, and was not in the sedition, that was raised against the Lord under Core, but he died in his own sin: and he had no male children. Why is his name taken away out of his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession among the kinsmen of our father.
And Moses referred their cause to the judgment of the Lord.
And the Lord said to him:
The daughters of Salphaad demand a just thing: Give them a possession among their father's kindred, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.
And to the children of Israel thou shalt speak these things:
When a man dieth without a son, his inheritance shall pass to his daughter.
If he have no daughter, his brethren shall succeed him.
And if he have no brethren, you shall give the inheritance to his father's brethren.
But if he have no uncles by the father, the inheritance shall be given to them that are the next akin. And this shall be to the children of Israel sacred by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
The Lord also said to Moses: Go up into this mountain Abarim, and view from thence the land which I will give to the children of Israel.
And when thou shalt have seen it, thou also shalt go to thy people, as thy brother Aaron is gone:
Because you offended me in the desert of Sin in the contradiction of the multitude, neither would you sanctify me before them at the waters. These are the waters of contradiction in Cades of the desert of Sin.
And Moses answered him:
May the Lord the God of the spirits of all flesh provide a man, that may be over this multitude:
And may go out and in before them, and may lead them out, or bring them in: lest the people of the Lord be as sheep without a shepherd.
And the Lord said to him: take Josue the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and put thy hand upon him.
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and all the multitude:
And thou shalt give him precepts in the sight of all, and part of thy glory, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may hear him.
If any thing be to be done, Eleazar the priest shall consult the Lord for him. He and all the children of Israel with him, and the rest of the multitude shall go out and go in at his word.
Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And, when he had taken Josue, he set him before Eleazar the priest, and all the assembly of the people,
And laying his hands on his head, he repeated all things that the Lord had commanded.
The Lord also said to Moses:
Command the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: Offer ye my oblation and my bread, and burnt sacrifice of most sweet odour, in their due seasons.
These are the sacrifices which you shall offer: Two lambs of a year old without blemish every day for the perpetual holocaust:
One you shall offer in the mornings, and the other in the evening:
And the tenth part of an ephi of flour, which shall be tempered with the, purest oil, of the measure of the fourth part of a hin.
It is the continual holocaust which you offered in mount Sinai for a most sweet odour of a sacrifice by fire to the Lord.
And for a libation you shall offer of wine the fourth part of a hin for every lamb in the sanctuary of the Lord.
And you shall offer the other lamb in like manner in the evening according to all the rites of the morning sacrifice, and of the libations thereof, an oblation of most sweet odour to the Lord.
And on the sabbath day you shall offer two lambs of a year old without blemish, and two tenths of flour tempered with oil in sacrifice, and the libations,
Which regularly are poured out every sabbath for the perpetual holocaust.
And on the first day of the month you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord, two calves of the herd, one ram, and seven lambs of a year old, without blemish,
And three tenths of flour tempered with oil in sacrifice for every calf: and two tenths of flour tempered with oil for every ram:
And the tenth of a tenth of flour tempered with oil in sacrifice for every lamb. It is a holocaust of most sweet odour and an offering by fire to the Lord.
And these shall be the libations of wine that are to be poured out for every victim: Half a hin for every calf, a third for a ram, and a fourth for a lamb. This shall be the holocaust for every month, as they succeed one another in the course of the year.
A buck goat also shall be offered to the Lord for a sin offering over and above the perpetual holocaust with its libations.
And in the first month, on the four tenth day of the month, shall be the phase of the Lord,
And on the fifteenth day the solemn feast: seven days shall they eat unleavened bread.
And the first day of them shall be venerable and holy: you shall not do any servile work therein.
And you shall offer a burnt sacrifice a holocaust to the Lord, two calves of the herd, one ram, seven lambs of a year old, without blemish:
And for the sacrifice of every one three tenths of flour which shall be tempered with oil to every calf, and two tenths to every ram,
And the tenth of a tenth, to every lamb, that is to say, to all the seven lambs:
And one buck goat for sin, to make atonement for you,
Besides the morning holocaust which you shall always offer.
So shall you do every day of the seven days for the food of the fire, and for a most sweet odour to the Lord, which shall rise from the holocaust, and from the libations of each.
The seventh day also shall be most solemn and holy unto you, you shall do no servile work therein.
The day also of firstfruits, when after the weeks are accomplished, you shall offer new fruits to the Lord, shall be venerable and holy: you shall do no servile work therein.
And you shall offer a holocaust for a most sweet odour to the Lord, two calves of the herd, one ram, and seven lambs of a year old, without blemish:
And in the sacrifices of them three tenths of flour tempered with oil to every calf, two to every ram,
The tenth of a tenth to every lamb, which in all are seven lambs: a buck goat also,
Which is slain for expiation: besides the perpetual holocaust and the libations thereof.
You shall offer them all without blemish with their libations.
The first day also of the seventh month shall be venerable and holy unto you; you shall do no servile work therein, because it is the day of the sounding and of trumpets.
And you shall offer a holocaust for a most sweet odour to the Lord, one calf of the herd, one ram and seven lambs of a year old, without blemish.
And for their sacrifices, three tenths of flour tempered with oil to every calf, two tenths to a ram,
One tenth to a lamb, which in all are seven lambs:
And a buck goat for sin, which is offered for the expiation of the people,
Besides the holocaust of the first day of the month with the sacrifices thereof, and the perpetual holocaust with the accustomed libations. With the same ceremonies you shall offer a burnt sacrifice for a most sweet odour to the Lord.
The tenth day also of this seventh month shall be holy and venerable unto you, and you shall afflict your souls; you shall do no servile work therein.
And you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord for a most sweet odour, one calf of the herd, one ram, and seven lambs of a year old, without blemish:
And for their sacrifices, three tenths of flour tempered with oil to every calf, two tenths to a ram,
The tenth of a tenth to every lamb, which are in all seven lambs:
And a buck goat for sin, besides the things that are wont to be offered for sin, for expiation, and for the perpetual holocaust with their sacrifice and libations.
And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, which shall be unto you holy and venerable, you shall do no servile work, but shall celebrate a solemnity to the Lord seven days.
And you shall offer a holocaust for a most sweet odour to the Lord, thirteen calves of the herd, two rams, and fourteen lambs of a year old, without blemish:
And for their libations three tenths of flour tempered with oil to every calf, being in all thirteen calves: and two tenths to each ram, being two rams,
And the tenth of a tenth to every lamb, being in all fourteen lambs:
