Numbers in E-Prime with Interlinear Hebrew in IPA
NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation
E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all to be verbs (is,
are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the is of identity (instead of John
is a teacher, we use John teaches. ), the is of predication (instead of The apple is sweet,
we use The apple tastes sweet.), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of
Blessed is the man, we use God blesses the man.). By performing these linguistic
procedures, we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.
Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers
The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet and
Elmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic
Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with
borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is
100% phonetic, while the English alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only 60%
phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration schemes are also hit and miss.
Using the pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the most stable
elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will cause trouble
continually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end English speakers as
they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew texts.

Now these constitute the records of the generations of Aaron and Moses at the time when the

he filled with strength to serve.
4
But Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD

priests in the lifetime of their father Aaron.

"Now, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of every

Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

"Number the sons of Levi by their fathers' households, by their families; every male from a

And you shall give the money to Aaron and to his sons as the redemption price

va-anan jav alehm jomam bnas-am

And the cloud of the LORD [was] over them by day when they went
min hamaane
out of the camp.
35
Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said,
"Rise up, O LORD!

And let Your enemies become scattered,
And let those who hate You flee before You."
vajhi binso-a ha-aron vajomr mo kuma

And it came to pass when set forward the ark that said Moses rise up

and when it rested he said Return O LORD to the many
alfe jisra-el
thousands of Israel!

Numbers 11 (Back)
The People Complain

1
Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the LORD;
and when the LORD heard it, His anger kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among
them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
vajiho ha-am kmitonnim ra b-azne jav

and became the people complaining of adversity in the hearing the LORD
vajima jav vajiar apo vativar bam e

and heard the LORD and was kindled his anger and burnt in the fire
jav vatoal bikts hamaan

2
The people therefore cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the LORD and the fire died out.
vajitsak ha-am l mo vajitpalel mo l jav

And cried the people unto Moses and prayed Moses unto the LORD
vatika ha-e
and was quenched the fire.
3
So the name of that place they called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD burned among
them.
vajikra em hamakom hahu tavera ki va-ara

And he called the name of the place it Taberah because burnt
vam e jav
among them the fire of the LORD.
109
4
The rabble who lived among them had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again
and said, "Who will give us meat to eat?
vhasafsuf aer bkirbo hitavu ta-ava vajauvu vajivku

and the mixed multitude who [was] among them had greed and again and wept
gam bne jisra-el vajomru mi ja-ailenu basar

also the children of Israel and said Who shall give us to eat meat?
5
"We remember the fish which we used to freely eat in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons
and the leeks and the onions and the garlic,
zaarnu t hadaga ar noal bmitsrajim inam et hakiu-im

We remember the fish that we did eat in Egypt freely the cucumbers
v-et ha-avatiim v-t hatsir v-t habtsalim v-t haumim

but now our appetite has left us. We find nothing at all to look at except this manna."
v-ata nafenu jvea en kol bilti l

but now our soul [is] dried away nothing at all at except unto
haman enenu
this manna [is before] our eyes.
7
Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance like that of bdellium.
vhaman kizra gad hu v-eno k-en habdola

And the manna [was] as seed coriander and its color as the color of bedelium.
8
The people would go about and gather it and grind it between two millstones or beat it in
the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make cakes with it; and its taste resembled the taste
of cakes baked with oil.
atu ha-am vlaktu vtahanu vareajim o dau

went about The people and gathered [it] and ground [it] in mills or beat [it]
bamdoa uvilu baparur v-asu oto ugot vhaja

in a mortar and baked [it] in pans and made it cakes and of it was
tamo kta-am lad haamn

the taste as the taste of cakes oil:
110
9
When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
uvrdt hatal al hamaan lajla jered haman alav

when fell the dew on the camp at night fell the manna with it.
The Complaint of Moses

10
Now Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, each man at the doorway of
his tent; and the anger of the LORD kindled greatly, and Moses felt displeased.
vajima mo t ha-am bok lmipotav i

Then heard Moses the people weeping throughout their families every man
lfeta aholo vajiar af jav m-od uv-ene

at the doorway of his tent and was kindled The LORD greatly also the eye
mo ra
of Moses was displeased.
11
So Moses said to the LORD, "Why have You seemed so hard on Your servant? And why
have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all this people on
me?
vajomr mo l jav lama hare-ota l-avda

And said Moses unto the LORD Why have you afflicted on Your servant?
vlama lo matsati en b-ena lasum t

And why not have I found favor in Your sight that you lay
masa kal ha-am haz alaj

the burden of all people this on me.
12
"Did I conceive all this people? Did I bring them forth, that You should say to me, 'Carry
them in your bosom as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which You swore to
their fathers'?
h-anoi hariti et kal ha-am haz im anoi jlidtihu ki

Have I conceived all people this? lo have I begotten them that

the suckling child to the land that you swore to their fathers?
111
13
"Where can I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me, saying, 'Give
us meat that we may eat!'
me-ajin li basar latet lal ha-am haz ki jivku

from where to me should I have meat to give to all people this ? for they weep
alaj lemor tna lanu vasar vnoela

to me saying Give to us meat that we may eat.
14
"I alone cannot able to carry all this people, because they have become too burdensome for
me.
lo ual anoi lvadi laset t kal ha-am haz ki

not able I [am] alone to carry all people this because
aved mimni
[it is] too heavy for me.
15
"So if You will deal thus with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your sight,
and do not let me see my wretchedness."
v-im kaa at os li hargeni na harog im

And if thus you deal to me kill me I pray out of hand if
matsati en b-ena v-al r- bra-ati

I have found favor in Your sight and not let me see my wretchedness.
Seventy Elders to Assist

16
The LORD therefore said to Moses, "Gather for Me seventy men from the elders of Israel,
whom you know as the elders of the people and their officers and bring them to the tent
of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you.
vajomr jav l mo sfa li ivim i mizikne

And said the LORD unto Moses Gather to me seventy men from the elders

votrav vlaata otam l ohl mo-ed vhitjatsvu

and officers and bring them unto the tent of meeting that they may stand

there with you.
112
17
"Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit who will
come upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people
with you, so that you will not bear it all alone.
vjaradti vdibarti ima am v-atsalti min ha-rua

And will come down and talk with you there and I will take of the spirit
ar ala vsamti alehm vnas-u ita bmasa

that [is] on you and will put on them and they shall bear with you the burden
ha-am vlo tisa ata lvada

of the people and not shall bear you alone.
18
"Say to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you
have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, "Oh that someone would give us meat to eat!
For we felt well-off in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you meat and you shall eat.
v-l ha-am tomar hikkadu lamaar va-aaltm

and unto the people say sanctify yourselves for tomorrow and you shall eat
basar ki bitm b-azne jav lemor mi ja-ailenu

meat for you have wept in the ears of the LORD saying Who shall give us to eat
basar ki tov lanu bmitsrajim vnatan jav

meat for [it was] better to us in Egypt and will give the LORD

to you meat and you shall eat.
19
'You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,
lo jom ad tolun vlo jomajim vlo hamia janim vlo

not day one eat nor two days nor five days neither
asara jamim vlo srim jom

ten days nor twenty days .
113
20
but a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you;
because you have rejected the LORD who dwells among you and have wept before Him,
saying, "Why did we ever leave Egypt?"'"
ad od jamim ad ar jetse me-apm vhaja lam

as far as a month whole until that it come out at your nostrils and it be to you
lzara ja-an ki m-astm t jav ar

loathesome because that you have despised the LORD who
bkirbm vativku lfanav lemor lama z jatsanu

[is] among you and have wept before him saying Why here came we forth
mimtsrajim jatsanu
from Egypt came we forth.
21
But Moses said, "The people, among whom I dwell, add up to 600,000 on foot; yet You have
said, 'I will give them meat, so that they may eat for a whole month.'
vajomr mo e me-ot lf ragli ha-am ar anoi

And said Moses six hundred thousand footmen The people whom I [am]
bkirbo v-ata amarta basar ten lahm v-alu od

among and you have said them meat I will give to them that they may eat
od jamim
a month whole .
22
"Should we slaughter sufficient flocks and herds for them? Or should we gather all the fish
of the sea together for them, which they will find sufficient?"
hatson uvakar jiat lahm umasa lahm im t kal dge

Shall the flocks and the herds be slain to suffice to them? all the fish
hajam je-asf lahm umasa lahm

of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice to them?
114
23
The LORD said to Moses, "Does the LORD have limited power ? Now you shall see
whether My word will come true for you or not."
vajomr jav l mo hajad jav tiktsar

And said the LORD unto Moses the hand of the LORD has become short?
ata tir hajikra dvari im lo

Now you shall see whether shall come to pass My word to you or not.
24
So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD. Also, he gathered seventy
men of the elders of the people, and stationed them around the tent.
vajetse mo vajdaber l ha-am et divre jav

And went out Moses and told unto the people the words of the LORD
svivot ha-ohl
around the tent.
25
Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took of the Spirit who
dwelled upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested
upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do it again.
vajerd jav b-anan vajdaber elav vajatsl min ha-rua

And came the LORD in the cloud and spoke unto him and took of the spirit
ar alav vajiten al ivim i hazkenim

that [was] on him and gave [it] to the seventy men elder
vajhi kno-a alehm haru-a vajirnab-u

and it came to pass rested on them the spirit and they prophesied
vlo jasafu
but not did so again.
115
26
But two men had remained in the camp; one had the name of Eldad and the name of the
other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them (now they dwelled among those who had
become registered, but had not gone out to the tent), and they prophesied in the camp.
vajia-aru ne anaim bamahan em ha-ad ldad

But there remained two men in the camp the name of the one [was] Eldad
vaem haeni medad vatana alehm harua vhema

and the name of the other Medad and rested on them the spirit and they
baktuvim vlo jats-u ha-ohela

were among those who had been registered but not went out to the tent.
27
So a young man ran and told Moses and said, "Eldad and Medad prophesied in the camp."
vajarats hana-ar vajaged lmo vajomar ldad umedad

And there ran a young man and told Moses and said Eldad and Medad
mitnab-im bamahan
do prophesy in the camp.
28
Then Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses from his youth, said, "Moses, my lord,
restrain them."
vaja-an jhou-a bin nun maret mo miburav

And answered Joshua the son of Nun the servant of Moses from his youth
vajomar adoni mo kla-em

and said My lord Moses stop them.
29
But Moses said to him, "Have you become jealous for my sake? Would that all the LORD'S
people were prophets, that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!"
vajomr lo mo hamkane ata li umi jiten kal am

and said to him Envy you for my sake ? I wish all people
jav nbi-im ki jiten jav t ruo alehm

of the LORD were prophets that would put the LORD his spirit on them.
30
Then Moses returned to the camp, both he and the elders of Israel.
vajesef mo l hamaan hu vzikne jisra-el

And returned Moses into the camp him and the elders of Israel.
116
The Quail and the Plague

31
Now there went forth a wind from the LORD and it brought quail from the sea, and let them
fall beside the camp, about a day's journey on this side and a day's journey on the other
side, all around the camp and about two cubits deep on the surface of the ground.
v-rua nasa me-et jav vajagaz alvim min hajam

And a wind went forth from the LORD and bought quails from the sea
vajito al hamaan kdr jom ko udr

and let [them] fall beside the camp a journey of a day here and journey
jom ko svivot hamaan u-amatajim al pne

of a day on the other side around the camp and two cubits[high] on the face
ha-arts
of the earth.
32
The people spent all day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who
gathered least gathered ten homers) and they spread them out for themselves all around
the camp.
vajakam ha-am kal hajom ha-hu val haljla vol

And stood up the people all day that and all [that] night and all
jom hamaorat vaja-asfu t haslav hamam-it asaf

day the next and they gathered the quails he who gathered least gathered
asara homarim vajithu lahm atova savivot hamaan

ten homers and they spread to them spread all abroad around the camp.
33
While the meat remained still between their teeth, before they could chew it, the anger of the
LORD kindled against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very severe
plague.
habasar odnu ben inehm trm jikaret v-af

while yet between their teeth [was] before it was chewed then the wrath
jav ara va-am vaja jav ba-am

of the LORD was kindled against the people and struck the LORD the people
maka raba m-od

with a plague great very.
117
34
So they named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had
demonstrated their greediness.
vajikra t em hamakom hahu kivrot hata-ava ki

And he called the name of the place that Kibroth hattaavah because
am kavru t ha-am hamitavim

there they buried the people who craved.
35
From Kibroth-hattaavah the people set out for Hazeroth, and they remained at Hazeroth.
mikivrot hata-ava nas-u ha-am atserot

from Kibroth-hata-ava journeyed the people to Hazeroth.
Numbers 12 (Back)
The Murmuring of Miriam and Aaron

1
Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had
married (for he had married a Cushite woman);
vatdaber mirjam v-aharon bmo al odot ha-ia hakuit ar

And spoke Miriam and Aaron against Moses upon that a woman Cushite whom
laka ki ia uit laka

he had married for a woman Cushite he had married.
2
and they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken
through us as well?" And the LORD heard it.
vajomru harak a bmo dibr jav halo gam banu

And they said only indeed by Moses spoken has the LORD? not also through us
diber vajima jav

has he spoken ? and heard it the LORD.
118
3
(Now the man Moses remained very humble, more than any man who lived on the face of the
earth.)
vha-i mo anav m-od mikol ha-adam ar al

Now the man Moses meek [was] very above all the men on[were]
pne ha-adama
the face of the earth.
4
Suddenly the LORD said to Moses and Aaron and to Miriam, "You three come out to the tent
of meeting." So the three of them came out.
vajomr jav pitom l mo v-l aharon v-l mirjam

And spoke the LORD suddenly unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto Miriam
ts-u latm l ohl mo-ed vajets-u latam

Come out you three unto the tent of meeting And came out the three.
5
Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tent, and He
called Aaron and Miriam. When they had both come forward,
vajerd jav b-amud anan vaja-amod pta

And came down the LORD in a pillar of the cloud and stood [in] the door
ha-ohl vajikra aharon umirjam vajets-u nehm

of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam and came forth the two.
6
He said,
"Hear now My words:
If there lives a prophet among you,
I, the LORD, shall make Myself known to him in a vision
I shall speak with him in a dream.
vajomr imu na dvaraj im jij nvi-am jav

And he said Hear now my words If there be a prophet the LORD
bamara elav tvada baalom adabr bo

in a vision unto him will make myself known in a dream I shall speak to him.
119
7
"Not so, with My servant Moses, He proves faithful in all My household;
lo en avdi mo bal beti n-man hu

not so My servant Moses in all my house [is] faithful he.
8
With him I speak mouth to mouth,
Even openly, and not in dark sayings,
And he beholds the form of the LORD.
Why then did you not fear
To speak against My servant, against Moses?"
p l p adabr bo umar- vlo vidot

mouth unto mouth will I speak to him and even openly and not in dark speeches
utmunat jav javit umadu-a lo

and the form of the LORD shall he behold and Why not
jaretm ldaber b-avdi vmo

were you afraid To speak against My servant against Moses?
9
So the anger of the LORD burned against them and He departed.
vajiar af jav bam vajela

And was kindled the anger of the LORD against them and He departed.
10
But when the cloud had withdrawn from over the tent, behold, Miriam became leprous, as
white as snow. As Aaron turned toward Miriam, behold, she became leprous.
vh-anan sar me-al ha-ohl vhin mirjam mtsora-at

and the cloud departed the tent and behold Miriam [became] leprous
kaalg vajifn aharon l mirjam vhin mtsora-at

[white] as snow and looked Aaron on Miriam and behold [she was] leprous.
11
Then Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, I beg you, do not account this sin to us, in which
we have acted foolishly and in which we have sinned.
vajomr aharon l mo bi adoni al na taet

And said Aaron unto Moses Alas my lord not I beseech you lay
alenu atat ar no-alnu va-ar atanu

on us the sin wherein we have done foolishly and wherein we have sinned.
120
12
"Oh, do not let her resemble one dead, whose flesh has become half eaten away when he
comes from his mother's womb!"
al na thi kamet ar btseto merm imo

not Let her be as one dead of whom when he comes out womb of his mother
vajeael atsi vsaro

and consumed is half the flesh.
13
Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "O God, heal her, I pray!"
vajitsak mo l jav lemor el na rfa na

And cried Moses unto the LORD saying O God now Heal her I bessech
la
to you.
14
But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not bear her
shame for seven days? Let her remain shut up for seven days outside the camp, and
afterward we may receive her again."
vajomr jav l mo v-aviha jarok yarak bfanha

And said the LORD unto Moses and if her father had but spit in her face
halo takalem ivat jamim tisager ivat jamim

not should she be ashamed seven days let her be shut out seven days
miuts lamaan v-aar te-asef

from the camp and after that let her be received in.
15
So Miriam remained shut up outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move
on until they received Miriam again.
vatisager mirjam miuts lamaan ivat jamim vha-am lo

And was shut Miriam from the camp seven days and the people not
nasa ad he-asef mirjam

journeyed until was brought in Miriam.
121
16
Afterward, however, the people moved out from Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of
Paran.
v-aar nas-u ha-am meatserot vajaanu bmidbar

And afterward moved the people from Hazeroth and pitched in the wilderness
paran
of Paran.
Numbers 13 ( Back)
Spies View the Land

1
Then the LORD spoke to Moses saying,

And spoke the LORD unto Moses saying
2
"Send out for yourself men so that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I plan to give

And sent them Moses to spy out the land of Canaan and said unto them

vaja-alu vajaturu t ha-arts mimidbar tsin ad rov

so they went up and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rhob

When they had gone up into the Negev, they came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai and

Then Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you sons of Levi,

And said Moses unto Korah Hear I pray you sons of Levi .
9
Has it not seemed enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the

11
"Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against the LORD; but as for

For that cause you and all [both] your company [are] gathered together

will not come up.

And sent Moses to call to Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab

honey to have us die in the wilderness, but you would also lord it over us?

not taken a single donkey from them, nor have I done harm to any of them."

Moses said to Korah, "You and all your company will present yourself before the LORD

And said Moses unto Korah you and all your company Be before the LORD

17
"Each of you take his firepan and put incense on it, and each of you bring his censer before
the LORD, two hundred and fifty firepans; also you and Aaron shall each bring his
firepan."

And they took every man his censer and put to them fire them and laid to them
ktort vajam-amdu pta ohl mo-ed umo v-aharon

incense and stood in the door of the tent of meeting and with Moses

19
Thus Korah assembled all the congregation against them at the doorway of the tent of
meeting. And the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation.
vajakhel alehm kora t kal ha-eda l pta

and gathered against Lorah all the congregation them unto the door

of the tent of meeting and appeared the glory of the LORD unto all

20
Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

21
"Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them instantly."
hibdlu mito ha-eda hazot va-aal otam

Separate yourselves from among congregations this that I may consume them

156
22
But they fell on their faces and said, "O God, God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man
sins, will You show anger with the entire congregation?"
vajiplu al pnehm vajomru el elohe haruot lal

And they fell on their faces and said O God the God of the spirits of all

flesh man shall one sin and with all the congregation?

24
"Speak to the congregation, saying, 'Get back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan
and Abiram.'"
daber l ha-eda lemor he-alu misaviv lmikan kora

Speak unto the congregation saying Get you up from around the tents of Korah

Then Moses arose and went to Dathan and Abiram, with the elders of Israel following him,

And rose up Moses and went unto Dathan and Abiram and followed
zikne jisrael
the elders of Israel.
157
26
and he spoke to the congregation, saying, "Depart now from the tents of these wicked men,
and touch nothing that belongs to them, or you will find yourself swept away in all their
sin."
vajdaber l ha-eda lemor suru na me-al ahole

men wicked of these and nothing touch nothing after to

27
So they got back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram; and Dathan and
Abiram came out and stood at the doorway of their tents, along with their wives and their
sons and their little ones.
vaje-alu me-al mikan kor datan va-abiram misaviv

28
Moses said, "By this you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these deeds; for I
do not this.
vajomer mo bzot ted-un ki jav laani la-asot t

And said Moses Hereby you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do

30
"But if the LORD brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and
swallows them up with all that they possess, and they descend alive into Sheol, then you
will understand that these men have spurned the LORD."

But if a new thing make the and open and open her mouth

and swallow them up and all that to and they go down living

31
As he finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split open;
vajhi kaloto ldaber et kal hadvarim ha-el

And it came to pass As he finished of speaking all words these
vatibaka ha-adama ar tatehm

that cleaved asunder the ground that under.
32
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the
men who belonged to Korah with their possessions.

And opened the earth her mouth and swallowed them up and their houses
v-et kal ha-adam ar lkora v-et kal harau

and all the men that [appertained] to Korah and all [their]goods.
33
So they and all that belonged to them went down alive to Sheol; and the earth closed over
them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.
vajerdu hem val ar lahm hajim -ola vatas alehm

went down They that all to alive into the pit and closed on

And Israel that[were] around them fled at their outcry for they said Lest

35
Fire also came forth from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who
offered the incense.
v-e jats-a me-et jav vatoal et haamiim

And a fire there came out the LORD and consumed fifty
umatajim i makrive haktort

and the two hundred that offered incense.
36

37
"Say to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, that he shall take up the censers out of the midst
of the blaze, for they have holiness; and you scatter the burning coals abroad.

38
"As for the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them become

and they have holiness; and they shall remain for a sign to the sons of Israel."

like Korah and his companyjust as the LORD had spoken to him through Moses.

44

46
Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer and put in it fire from the altar, and lay incense on

47
Then Aaron took it as Moses had spoken, and ran into the midst of the assembly, for behold,

And he stood between the dead and between the living and was stayed

Then Moses and Aaron came in from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent
of meeting and fell on their faces. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to them;
vajavo mo v-aharon mipne hakahal l pta

And went Moses and Aaron from the presence of the assembly unto the door
ohl mo-ed vajiplu al pnehm vajera vod

of the tent of meeting and they fell on their faces and appeared the glory
jav alehm
of the LORD unto.
7
and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

The Water of Meribah

8
"Take the rod; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the
rock before their eyes, that it may yield its water. You shall thus bring forth water for
them out of the rock and let the congregation and their beasts drink."
ka t hamat vhakhel t ha-eda ata

Take the staff and gather so you shall give the congregation you
v-aharon ahia vdibartm l hasla l-enehm

and Aaron your brother and speak you unto the rock before their eyes
vnatan memav vhotseta lahm majim min

and it shall give forth his water and you shall bring forth to them water out of
hasla vhikita t ha-eda v-t b-iram

the rock and drink let the congregation and their beasts.
9
So Moses took the rod from before the LORD, just as He had commanded him;
vajika mo t hamat milifne jav ka--a tsivahu

And took Moses the staff from before the LORD as he commanded.
186
10
and Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock. And he said to them, "Listen
now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?"
vajakhilu mo v-ahoron t hakahal l pne hasala

And gather Moses and Aaron the assembly before the face of the rock
vajomr lahm imu na hamorim hamim hamin haz notsi

and he said to them Hear now you rebels out of rock this must we fetch
lam majim
to you water.
11
Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth
abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank.
vajarm mo t jado vaja t hasla bmatehu

And lifted up Moses his and he struck the rock with his staff
pa-a majim vajetsu majim rabim vatet ha-eda

twice and came out the water abundantly and drank the congregation
uviram
and their beast.
12
But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you have not believed Me, to treat Me as
holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the
land which I have given them."
vajomr jav l mo v-el aharon ja-an lo h-emantm

And spoke the LORD unto Moses and Aaron Because not you believed
bi lhakdieni l-ene bne jisra-el laen lo tavi-u t

in to sanctify in the sight of the sons therefore not do bring
hakahal haz l ha-arts ar natati lahm

congregation this unto the land that I have given to.
187
13
Those they called the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel contended with the
LORD, and He proved Himself holy among them.
hema me mriva ar ravu vne jisra-el

[is] This the water of Meriba which disputed the children of Israel
t jav vajikade bam

with The Lord and he was consecrated in.
14
From Kadesh Moses then sent messengers to the king of Edom: "Thus your brother Israel
has said, 'You know all the hardship that has befallen us;
vajila mo malaim mikad l ml edom ko amar

And sent Moses messengers From Kadesh unto the king of Edom thus says
aia jisra-el ata jadata et kal hatla-a ar mtsa-atnu

your brother Israel you know all the travail that has befallen.
15
that our fathers went down to Egypt, and we stayed in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians
treated us and our fathers badly.
vajerdu avotenu mitsrajma vanev bmitsrajim jamim

and went down How our fathers to Egypt and we have dwelled in Egypt a time
rabim vajare-u lanu mitsrajim vla-avotenu

long and mistreated to the Egyptians and our fathers.
16
'But when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us
out from Egypt; now behold, we have come to Kadesh, a town on the edge of your
territory.
vanisak l jav vajima kolenu vajila mala

when we cried unto the LORD and he heard our voice and sent an angel
vajotsi-enu mimtsrajim vhin ananu vkade ir

and has brought us forth out of Egypt and behold we [are] in Kadesh a city
ktse gvula
in the uttermost of your border.
188
17
'Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard; we
will not even drink water from a well. We will go along the king's highway, not turning
to the right or left, until we pass through your territory.'"
nbra na v-artsa lo na-avor bsad

Let us pass I pray through your country not pass through the fields
uvarm vlo nit me v-er dr haml

or through the vineyards neither will we drink [of the water from a well [high] way
haml nele lo nit jamin umol

of by the king We will go not turn to the right hand nor to the left
ad ar na-avor gvula
until that we have passed your borders.
18
Edom, however, said to him, "You shall not pass through us, or I will come out with the
sword against you."
vajomr elav edom lo ta-avor bi pn bahrv etse

and said unto Edom him not do pass in lest you with the sword I come out
likrata
against.
19
Again, the sons of Israel said to him, "We will go up by the highway, and if I and my
livestock do drink any of your water, then I will pay its price. Let me only pass through
on my feet, nothing else."
vajomru elav bne jisra-el bamsila na-al v-im

and said unto the children of Israel by the high way We will go and if
mema nit ani umiknaj vnatati mikram rak en

of your water drink I [am] then my livestock its price I will only outside
davar braglaj -evora

[doing] anything on my feet [else] go through.
189
20
But he said, "You shall not pass through." And Edom came out against him with a heavy
force and with a strong hand.
vajomr lo ta-avor vajetse edom likato b-am kaved

And he said not do go through Edom against people him with much
uvjad hazaka
and hand with a strong.
21
Thus Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory; so Israel turned away from
him.
vajma-en edom nton t jisra-el avor bigvulo

and refused Thus Edom to give Israel passage through his border
vajet jisra-el me-alav

and turned away Israel from.
22
Now when they set out from Kadesh, the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to
Mount Hor.
vajis-u mikade vajavo-u vne jisra-el kal

and journeyed from Kadesh and came the children of Israel the whole
ha-eda hor hahar

[even] congregation Hor to mount,
Death of Aaron
23
Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor by the border of the land of Edom,
saying,
vajomr jav l mo v-l aharon bhor hahar al gvul

And spoke the LORD unto Moses and Aaron Hor in mount by the coast
rts - odom lemor

of the land of Edom saying:
190
24
"Aaron will become gathered to his people; for he shall not enter the land which I have given
to the sons of Israel, because you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
je-asef aharon l amav ki lo javo l ha-arts ar

shall be gathered Aaron unto his people for not do enter into that land that
natati livne jisra-el al ar mritm t pi

I have given to the sons of Israel upon that you rebelled against my word

25
"Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up to Mount Hor;
ka t aharon v-t lazar bno vha-al otam hor hahar

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son and bring them up Hor to mount.
26
and strip Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar. So Aaron will become
gathered to his people, and will die there."
vhafet t aharon t bgadav vhilbatam t lazar bno

And strip Aaron of his garments and put Eleazar his son
v-aharon je-asef umet am

and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people] and shall die there.
27
So Moses did just as the LORD had commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor in the sight
of all the congregation.
vaja-as mo ka-asr tsiva jav vaja-alu l hor

And did Moses as commanded and they went up into Hor
hahar l-ene kal ha-eda

Mount in the sight all the congregation.
191
28
After Moses had stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died
there on the mountain top. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
vajafet mo t aharon t bgadav vajalbe otam t

And stripped Moses Aaron of his garments and put for
lazar bno wajamat am bro hahar vajerd

Eleazar his son and died there in the top of the mount and came down
mo v-l-azar min hahar

Moses and Eleazar from the mount.
29
When all the congregation saw that Aaron had died, all the house of Israel wept for Aaron
thirty days.
vajiru kal ha-ega ki gava aharon

And saw all the congregation that was dead that Aaron
vajivku t aharon loim jom kol

and they mourned for Aaron thirty days all
bet jisra-el
[even] the house of Israel.
Numbers 21 (Back)
Arad Conquered
1
When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel came by the
way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.
vajima hakna-ani ml arad jov hangv

and heard tell the Canaanite [when] And king Arad that dwelled in the south
ki ba jisra-l dr ha-atarim vajilam bjisra-el vajib

that came Israel by the way of the spies then he fought against Israel and took
mimnu vi
of [some] them prisoners.
192
2
So Israel made a vow to the LORD and said, "If You will indeed deliver this people into my
hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."
vajidar jisra-el nedr jav vajomar im naton titen t

And vowed Israel a vow to the LORD and said if if you will indeed deliver
ha-am haz bjadi vha-aramti t arehm

people this into my hand then I will utterly destroy their cities
3
The LORD heard the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites; then they utterly
destroyed them and their cities. Thus they named the place Hormah.
vajima jav bkol jisra-el vajiten t hakna-ani

And listened the LORD to the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites
vajaharem thm v-t arehm vajikra em

and they utterly destroyed and their cities and he called the name
hamakom harma
of the place Homah.
4
Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom;
and the people became impatient because of the journey.
vajis-u mehor hahar dr jam suf lisvov t rts

And they journeyed Hor from mount by the way sea of the Red the land
edom vtiktsar nf ha-am badar

of Edom and was much discouraged the soul of the people because of the way.
5
The people spoke against God and Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die
in the wilderness? For we cant find no food and no water, and we loathe this miserable
food."
vajdaber ha-am belohim uvmo lama

And spoke the people against God and against Moses Why
h-elitunu mimitsrajim lamut bamidbar ki en lm

have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness for not bread
v-en majim vnafenu katsa balhm haklokel

neither [is there any] water and our soul loathes bread this light.
193
The Bronze Serpent

6
The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people
of Israel died.
vayala jav ba-am t hanaim harafim vanau t

And sent the LORD among the people serpents fiery and they bit
ha-am vajamat am rav mijisra-el

the people and died people much of Israel.
7
So the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against the
LORD and you; intercede with the LORD, that He may remove the serpents from us."
And Moses interceded for the people.
vajavo ha-am l mo vajomru hatanu ki

and came Therefore unto Moses and said We have sinned for
dibarnu jav vava hitpalel l jav vjaser

we have spoken against the LORD and pray unto the LORD that he take away
me-alenu hanahas vajitpalel mo b-ad ha-am

from the serpents and prayed And Moses for the people.
8
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall
come about, that everyone who received a bite, when he looks at it, he will live."
vajomr jav l mo as la saraf vsim oto al

And said the LORD unto Moses Make to you a fiery serpent and set it on
nes vhaja kal hanu vra-a oto

a pole and it shall come to pass every that is bitten when he looks at it
vaaj
shall live.
194
9
And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a
serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived.
vaja-as mo nha nhot vajisimehu al hanes

And made Moses a serpent of bronze and put on a pole
vhaja im naak hanaa t i vhibit l

that if had bitten a serpent any man when he beheld unto
na hanot vahaj
the serpent of bronze and he lived.
10
Now the sons of Israel moved out and camped in Oboth.
vajisu bne jisra-el vajahanu b-ovot

And set forward the children of Israel and pitched in Oboth.
11
They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which lies opposite
Moab, to the east.
vajis-u me-ovot vajahanu b-ije ha-avarim bamidbar

And they journeyed from Oboth and pitched in lje abarim in the wilderness

that before the face of Moab to the east east side.
12
From there they set out and camped in Wadi Zered.
miam nasa-u vajahanu bnaal zard

From there they removed and pitched in Wadi of Zared.
13
From there they journeyed and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which locates in the
wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites, for the Arnon locates on the
border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
miam na-sa-u vajahanu me-evr arnon ar

From there they removed and pitched on the other of Arnon that
bamidbar hajotse migvul ha-emori ki arnon gvul

[is] in the wilderness that comes out of the coasts of the Amorites for Arnon
gavul mo-av ben mo-av uven ha-emori

[is] the border of Moab between Moab and between the Amorites.
195
14
Therefore people will say in the Book of the Wars of the LORD,
"Waheb in Suphah,
And the wadis of the Arnon,
al ken je-amar bsefr milhamot jav t vahev

Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD What he did
bsufa v-t hanhalim arnon

in Suphah and in the brooks of Arnon.
15
And the slope of the wadis
That extends to the site of Ar,
And leans to the border of Moab."
v-ed hanhalim ar nata lvt ar

And at the stream of the stream that goes down to the dwelling of Ar
vanian ligvul mo-av

and lies to the border of Moab.
16
From there they continued to Beer, that we acknowledge as the well where the LORD said
to Moses, "Assemble the people, that I may give them water."
umiam b-era hi hab-er ar amar jav

and From there [they went to Beer that [is] the well whereof spoke the LORD
lmo esof t ha-am v-tna lahm mayim

to Moses together the people and I will give to them water.
17
Then Israel sang this song:
"Spring up, O well! Sing to it!
az yasir jisra-el t haira hazot ali v-er enu la

Then sang Israel song this Spring up O well sing to.
18
"The well, which the leaders sank, Which the nobles of the people dug,
With the scepter and with their staffs."
And from the wilderness they continued to Mattanah,
b-er hafaruha sarim karuha ndive ha-am bimhokek

the well dug The princes dug the nobles of the people With the scepter

and from Matana to Nathaliel and from Nathaliel to Bamoth.
20
and from Bamoth to the valley that locates in the land of Moab, at the top of Pisgah which
overlooks the wasteland.
umibamot hagaj ar bisge mo-av ro

and from Bamoth [in] the valley that [is] in the country of Moab to the top
hapisga vnikafa al pne hajimon

of Pisgah and that looks toward Jeshimon.
Two Victories
21
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,
vajila jisra-el malaim l sion ml ha-emori lemor

And sent Israel messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites saying:
22
"Let me pass through your land. We will not turn off into field or vineyard; we will not drink
water from wells. We will go by the king's highway until we have passed through your
border."
ebra v-artsa lo nit bad uvrm

Let me pass through your land not do turn into the fields or into the vineyards
lo nit me v-er bdr haml nele

not do drink [of] the waters from wells [high] of by the king we will go along
ad ar na-avor gvula
until that we be past your borders.
23
But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border. So Sihon gathered all his
people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to Jahaz and fought
against Israel.
vlo natan sion t jisra-el avor bigvulo vaj-esof sion

and not to allow Sihon Israel to pass through but together Sihon
jahtsa vajilahm bjisra-el

to Jahaz and fought against Israel.
197
24
Then Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the
Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon
we call Jazer.
vajakehu jisrael lfi harv vajira t artso

And struck Israel with the edge of the sword and possessed his land
me-arnon ad jabok ad bne amon ki

from the Arnon Jabbok even to as the sons of Ammon for [was]
az gvul bne amon

strong for the of the sons of Ammon.
25
Israel took all these cities and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in
all her villages.
vajika jisra-el t kal h-arim ha-el vajev jisra-el bal are

And took Israel all cities these and dwelled Israel in all the cities
ha-emori bhbon uval bnoteha

of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all the villages.
26
For Heshbon we acknowledge as the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought
against the former king of Moab and had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the
Arnon.
ki bon ir sion ml ha-emori hi vhu

For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites who and who
nilam bml mo-av harion vajika t kal astso

had fought king of Moab against the former all his land
mijado ad arnon

27
Therefore those who use proverbs say,
"Come to Heshbon! Let us build it! So let the city of Sihon become established.
al ken jomru hamolim bo-u bon tiban

Therefore after that say they who speaks in proverbs Come into Heshbon
tibane vtikonen ir sion

be built and prepared let the city of Sihon.
198
28
" For a fire went forth from Heshbon,
A flame from the town of Sihon;
It devoured Ar of Moab,
The dominant heights of the Arnon.
ki e jats-a mebon lhava mikirjat sion

For there is a fire gone out from Heshbon flames from the town of Sihon
ala ar mo-av ba-ale bamot arnon

it has consumed Ar of Moab the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29
"Woe to you, O Moab!
You have fallen to ruin, O people of Chemosh!
He has given his sons as fugitives,
And his daughters into captivity,
To an Amorite king, Sihon.
o la mo-av avadta am kmo natan

Woe to you O Moab you are undone! O people of Chemosh he has given
banav pletim uvnotav bavit lml emori

his sons that escaped and his daughters into captivity king of the Amorites

30
"But we have cast them down,
Heshbon has become ruined as far as Dibon,
Then we have laid waste even to Nophah,
Which reaches to Medeba."
vaniram avad bon ad divon

and We have shot is perished Heshbon even to Dibon
vanaim ad nofa ar ad medva

and we have laid them wasted even to Nophah that to [reaches] Medeba.
31
Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
vajeev jisra-el b-rts ha-emori

and dwelled Thus Israel in the land of the Amorites.
199
32
Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites
who lived there.
vajila mo lragel t jazer vajikdu bnoteha

And sent Moses to spy Jaazer and they took the villages
vajorts t ha-emori ar am
and drove out the Amorites that there.
33
Then they turned and went up by the way of Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan went out
with all his people, for battle at Edrei.
vajifnu vaja-alu dr habaan vajetse og ml habaan

And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan and went out Og the king of Bashan
likratam hu val amo lamilama dr-i

against them he and all his people for battle at Edre-i.
34
But the LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all
his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the
Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."
vajomr jav l mo al tira oto ki vjadaa

And said the LORD unto Moses him not do fear for him into you hand

I have delivered and all his people and his land and you shall do to him
ka-ar asita lsihon ml ha-emori ar jov bbon

as to him as you did king of the Amorites that dwelled at Heshbon.
35
So they killed him and his sons and all his people, until he had no remnant left him; and they
possessed his land.
vajaku oto v-t banav v-t kal

so they struck and him and all
amo ad bilti hi-ir hi-ir lo sarii

his people until there was none left left to him alive

and they possessed his land.

Numbers 22 (Back)
Balak Sends for Balaam

1
Then the sons of Israel journeyed, and camped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan
opposite Jericho.
vajis-u bne jisra-el vajaanu b-arvot mo-av me-evr

And set forward the children of Israel and pitched in the plains of Moab
me-evr lajarden jreo

Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
vajar balak bn tsipor t kal ar asa jisra-el la-emori

And saw Balak the son of Zippor all that had done Israel to the Amorites.
3
So Moab felt great fear because of the people, for they had become numerous; and Moab felt
dread of the sons of Israel.
vajagar mo-av mipne ha-am m-od ki rav

And was very afraid of the people was very afraid because [were] many
hu vajakats mo-av mipne bne jisra-el

they and was distressed Moab because of the sons of Israel.
4
Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this horde will lick up all that exist around us, as
the ox licks up the grass of the field." And Balak the son of Zippor ruled as king of Moab
at that time.
vajomr mo-av l zikne midjan ata jlaau hakahal t

all [that are] around licks us up the grass of the field and Balak the son
tsipor ml lmo-av ba-et hahiv

of Zippor [was] king of Moab time at that.
201
5
So he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor, which locates near the River, in
the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, "Behold, a people came out of
Egypt; behold, they cover the surface of the land, and they live opposite me.
vajila malaim l bilam bn b-or ptora ar al

and He sent messengers therefore unto to Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor

saying Behold there is a people come out from Egypt behold they cover

the face of the earth and they abide over against.
6
"Now, therefore, please come, curse this people for me since they have become too mighty
for me; perhaps I may have the capability of defeating them and drive them out of the
land. For I know that he whom you bless will receive a blessing, and he whom you curse
will receive a curse."
v-ata la na ara li t ha-am haz ki

Now come I pray curse to people me this since

min ha-arts ki jadati t ar tvar mvora

of the land for I know that he whom you bless [is] blessed
va-ar ta-or ju-ar

and he whom you curse is cursed.
7
So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for divination in their
hand; and they came to Balaam and repeated Balak's words to him.
vajelu zikne mo-av vzikne midjan

And departed the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian
ukkanim bjadam vajavo-u l bilam

and with the rewards of divination in their hand and they came unto Balaam
vajdabru elav divre balak

and spoke unto him the words of Balak.
202
8
He said to them, "Spend the night here, and I will bring word back to you as the LORD may
speak to me." And the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam.
vajomer alehm linu po halajla vahaivoti tem davar ka-ar

Andhe said unto them Spend here this night and I will bring you word as
jdaber jav elaj vajevu sare mo-av em bilam

9
Then God came to Balaam and said, "What men have you brought with you?"
vajavo elohim l bilam vajomr mi hanaim ha-el ima

And came God unto Balaam and said What men these with.
10
Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent word to me,
vajomr bilam l ha-elohim balak bn tsipor ml mo-av

And said Balaam unto God Balak the son of Zippor king of Moab
ala elaj
has sent unto.
11
'Behold, a people came out of Egypt and they cover the surface of the land; now come,
curse them for me; perhaps I may have the capability to fight against them and drive them
out.'"

12
God said to Balaam, "Do not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for I have blessed
them."
vajomer lohim l bilam lo tele imahm lo ta-or t

And said God unto Balaam not go with them not curse
ha-am ki vru hu
the people for they are blessed they.
203
13
So Balaam arose in the morning and said to Balak's leaders, "Go back to your land, for the
