The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

And the halfe, to wit, the part of them that went out to warre touching the nomber of sheepe, was three hundreth seuen and thirtie thousand, and fiue hundreth.

And the Lordes tribute of the sheepe was sixe hundreth and seuentie and fiue:

And the beeues were six and thirty thousad, whereof the Lordes tribute was seuentie and two.

And the asses were thirtie thousande and fiue hundreth, whereof the Lordes tribute was three score and one:

And of persons sixtene thousand, whereof the Lordes tribute was two and thirtie persons.

And Moses gaue the tribute of the Lordes offring vnto Eleazar the Priest, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And of the halfe of the children of Israel, which Moses deuided from the men of warre,

(For the halfe that perteined vnto the Congregation, was three hundreth thirtie and seuen thousand sheepe and fiue hundreth,

And sixe and thirtie thousand beeues,

And thirtie thousand asses, and fiue hudreth,

And sixteene thousande persons)

Moses, I say, tooke of the halfe that perteined vnto the children of Israel, one taken out of fiftie, both of the persons, and of the cattell, and gaue them vnto the Leuites, which haue the charge of the Tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Then the captaines which were ouer thousandes of the hoste, the captaines ouer the thousandes, and the captaines ouer the hundreds came vnto Moses:

And saide to Moses, Thy seruants haue taken the summe of the men of warre which are vnder our authoritie, and there lacketh not one man of vs.

We haue therefore brought a present vnto the Lord, what euery man found of iewels of golde, bracelets, and cheines, rings, eare ringes, and ornaments of the legges, to make an atonement for our soules before the Lord.

And Moses and Eleazar the Priest tooke the golde of them, and all wrought iewels,

And all the golde of the offring that they offered vp to the Lord (of the captaines ouer thousands and hundreds) was sixteene thousande seuen hundreth and fiftie shekels,

(For the men of warre had spoyled, euery man for him selfe)

And Moses and Eleazar the Priest tooke the golde of the captaines ouer the thousandes, and ouer the hundreds, and brought it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, for a memoriall of the children of Israel before the Lord.

Nowe the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad had an exceeding great multitude of cattell: and they sawe the lande of Iazer, and the lande of Gilead, that it was an apt place for cattel.

Then the children of Gad, and the childre of Reuben came, and spake vnto Moses and to Eleazar the Priest, and vnto the princes of the Congregation, saying,

The land of Ataroth, and Dibon, and Iazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

Which countrey the Lord smote before the Congregation of Israel, is a lande meete for cattell, and thy seruants haue cattell:

Wherefore, said they, if we haue foud grace in thy sight, let this lande be giuen vnto thy seruants for a possession, and bring vs not ouer Iorde.

And Moses said vnto the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren goe to warre, and ye tary heere?

Wherefore now discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel, to goe ouer into the lande, which the Lord hath giuen them?

Thus did your fathers when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the lande.

For when they went vp euen vnto the riuer of Eshcol, and sawe the land: they discouraged the heart of the childre of Israel, that they woulde not goe into the lande, which the Lord had giuen them.

And the Lordes wrath was kindled the same day, and he did sweare, saying,

None of the men that came out of Egypt from twentie yeere olde and aboue, shall see the land for the which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak, and to Iaakob, because they haue not wholly followed me:

Except Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenesite, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun: for they haue constantly followed the Lord.

And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and made them wander in the wildernesse fourty yeeres, vntill all the generation that had done euill in the sight of the Lord were consumed.

And behold, ye are risen vp in your fathers steade as an encrease of sinfull men, still to augment the fierce wrath of the Lord, toward Israel.

For if ye turne away from following him, he will yet againe leaue the people in the wildernesse, and ye shall destroy all this folke.

And they went neere to him, and said, We will builde sheepe foldes here for our sheepe, and for our cattell, and cities for our children.

But we our selues will be readie armed to go before the children of Israel, vntill we haue brought them vnto their place: but our childre shall dwell in the defenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the lande.

We will not returne vnto our houses, vntil the children of Israel haue inherited, euery man his inheritance.

Neither wil we inherite with them beyond Iorden and on that side, because our inheritance is fallen to vs on this side Iorden Eastwarde.

And Moses saide vnto them, If ye will doe this thing, and goe armed before the Lord to warre:

And will goe euery one of you in harnesse ouer Iorden before the Lord, vntill he hath cast out his enemies from his sight:

And vntill the land be subdued before the Lord, then ye shall returne and be innocent toward the Lord, and toward Israel: and this land shalbe your possession before the Lord.

But if ye will not doe so, beholde, ye haue sinned against the Lord, and be sure, that your sinne will finde you out.

Builde you then cities for your children and folds for your sheepe, and do that ye haue spoke.

Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake vnto Moses, saying, Thy seruats will doe as my lorde commandeth:

Our childre, our wiues, our sheepe, and al our cattell shall remaine there in the cities of Gilead,

But thy seruants will goe euery one armed to warre before the Lord for to fight, as my lorde saith.

So concerning them, Moses commanded Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:

And Moses said vnto them, If the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben, will go with you ouer Iorden, all armed to fight before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you, ye shall giue the the lad of Gilead for a possessio:

But if they will not goe ouer with you armed, then they shall haue their possessions amog you in the land of Canaan.

And the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said vnto thy seruants, so will we doe.

We will goe armed before the Lord into the lande of Canaan: that the possession of our inheritance may be to vs on this side Iorden.

So Moses gaue vnto them, euen to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to halfe the tribe of Manasseh the sonne of Ioseph, the kingdome of Sihon King of the Amorites, and the kingdome of Og King of Bashan, the lande with the cities thereof and coastes, euen the cities of the countrey round about.

Then the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

And Atroth, Shophan, and Iazer, and Iogbehah,

And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, defenced cities: also sheepe foldes.

And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,

And the children of Machir the sonne of Manasseh went to Gilead, and tooke it, and put out the Amorites that dwelt therein.

Then Moses gaue Gilead vnto Machir the sonne of Manasseh, and he dwelt therein.

And Iair the sonne of Manasseh went and tooke the small townes thereof, and called them Hauoth Iair.

Also Nobah went and tooke Kenath, with the villages thereof and called it Nobah, after his owne name.

And Moses wrote their going out by their iourneies according to ye commandement of the Lord: so these are ye iourneies of their going out.

Nowe they departed from Rameses the first moneth, euen the fifteenth day of the first moneth, on the morowe after the Passeouer: and the children of Israel went out with an hie hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.

And Aaron was an hundreth, and three and twentie yeere olde, when hee dyed in mount Hor.
