Num 6:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 6:2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man or
woman does separate, by making a vow of a Nazirite, to be separate to יהוה,
Num 6:3 he separates himself from wine and strong drink – he drinks neither
vinegar of wine nor vinegar of strong drink, neither does he drink any grape
juice, nor eat grapes or raisins.
Num 6:4 ‘All the days of his separation he does not eat whatever is made of
the grapevine, from seed to skin.
Num 6:5 ‘All the days of the vow of his separation a razor does not come
upon his head. Until the days are completed for which he does separate
himself to יהוה, he is set-apart. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head
grow long.
Num 6:6 ‘All the days of his separation to יהוה he does not go near a dead
body.
Num 6:7 ‘He does not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother,
for his brother or his sister, when they die, because his separation to Elohim
is on his head.
Num 6:8 ‘All the days of his separation he is set-apart to יהוה.
Num 6:9 ‘And when anyone dies beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he
has defiled the head of his separation, then he shall shave his head on the day
of his cleansing – on the seventh day he shaves it.
Num 6:10 ‘And on the eighth day he brings two turtledoves or two young
pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Num 6:11 and the priest shall prepare one as a sin offering and the other as a
burnt offering, and shall make atonement for him, because he sinned by
reason of the dead body. And he shall set apart his head on that day,
Num 6:12 and shall separate to יהוה the days of his separation, and shall
bring a male lamb a year old, as a guilt offering. But the former days are not
counted, because his separation was defiled.
Num 6:13 ‘And this is the Torah of the Nazirite: When the days of his
separation are completed, he is brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Num 6:14 and he shall bring his offering to יהוה : one male lamb a year old,
a perfect one, as a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old, a perfect one,
as a sin offering, and one ram, a perfect one, as a peace offering,
Num 6:15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with
oil, and unleavened thin cakes anointed with oil, and their grain offering with
their drink offerings.
Num 6:16 ‘And the priest shall bring them before יהוה and prepare his sin
offering and his burnt offering.
Num 6:17 ‘And he shall prepare the ram as a peace offering to יהוה, together
with the basket of unleavened bread. And the priest shall prepare its grain
offering and its drink offering.
Num 6:18 ‘And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the
door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair from the head of his
separation and shall put it on the fire which is under the slaughtering of the
peace offering.
Num 6:19 ‘And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one
unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened thin cake, and put them
upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his hair of separation.
Num 6:20 ‘Then the priest shall wave them, a wave offering before יהוה. It is
set-apart for the priest, besides the breast of the wave offering and besides
the thigh of the contribution. And afterwards the Nazirite shall drink wine.’
Num 6:21 “This is the Torah of the Nazirite who vows to יהוה the offering
for his separation, and besides that, whatever else his hand is able to
provide. According to the vow which he takes, so he shall do according to
the Torah of his separation.”
Num 6:22 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 6:23 “Speak to Aharon and his sons, saying, ‘This is how you bless the
children of Yisra’ĕl. Say to them:
Num 6:24 “ יהוה bless you and guard you;
Num 6:25 יהוה make His face shine upon you, and show favour to you;
Num 6:26 יהוה lift up His face upon you, and give you peace.” ’
Num 6:27 “Thus they shall put My Name on the children of Yisra’ĕl, and I
Myself shall bless them.”

Num 8:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 8:2 “Speak to Aharon, and say to him, ‘When you set up the lamps, let
the seven lamps give light in front of the lampstand.’ ”
Num 8:3 And Aharon did so. He set up the lamps to face toward the front of
the lampstand, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.
Num 8:4 And this is the work of the lampstand: beaten work of gold, from
its base to its blossoms it is beaten work. According to the pattern which יהוה
had shown Mosheh, so he made the lampstand.
Num 8:5 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 8:6 “Take the Lĕwites from among the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you
shall cleanse them,
Num 8:7 and do this to them to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of sin offering
on them, and they shall shave all their body, and shall wash their garments,
and cleanse themselves,
Num 8:8 and shall take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour
mixed with oil, while you take another young bull as a sin offering.
Num 8:9 “And you shall bring the Lĕwites before the Tent of Meeting, and
you shall assemble all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl.
Num 8:10 “And you shall bring the Lĕwites before יהוה, and the children of
Yisra’ĕl shall lay their hands on the Lĕwites,
Num 8:11 and Aharon shall wave the Lĕwites before ,יהוהa wave offering
from the children of Yisra’ĕl – so shall they be for doing the service of יהוה.
Num 8:12 “And the Lĕwites shall lay their hands on the heads of the young
bulls. And one shall be prepared as a sin offering and the other as a burnt
offering to יהוה, to make atonement for the Lĕwites.
Num 8:13 “And you shall have the Lĕwites stand before Aharon and his
sons, and then wave them, a wave offering to יהוה.
Num 8:14 “Thus you shall separate the Lĕwites from among the children of
Yisra’ĕl, and the Lĕwites shall be Mine.
Num 8:15 “Then after that the Lĕwites shall go in to do service in the Tent of
Meeting, when you have cleansed them and waved them as a wave offering.
Num 8:16 “For they are given ones, given to Me from among the children of
Yisra’ĕl. I have taken them for Myself instead of all who open the womb, the
first-born of all the children of Yisra’ĕl.
Num 8:17 “For all the first-born among the children of Yisra’ĕl are Mine,
both man and beast. On the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of
Mitsrayim I set them apart unto Myself.
Num 8:18 “And I have taken the Lĕwites instead of all the first-born of the
children of Yisra’ĕl.
Num 8:19 “And I have given the Lĕwites as a gift to Aharon and his sons
from among the children of Yisra’ĕl, to do the service of the children of
Yisra’ĕl in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of
Yisra’ĕl, that there be no plague among the children of Yisra’ĕl when the
children of Yisra’ĕl come near the set-apart place.”
Num 8:20 Thus Mosheh and Aharon and all the congregation of the children
of Yisra’ĕl did to the Lĕwites according to all that יהוה commanded Mosheh
concerning the Lĕwites, so the children of Yisra’ĕl did to them.
Num 8:21 And the Lĕwites cleansed themselves and washed their garments,
and Aharon waved them, a wave offering before יהוה, and Aharon made
atonement for them to cleanse them.
Num 8:22 Then after that the Lĕwites went in to do their service in the Tent
of Meeting before Aharon and his sons as יהוה commanded Mosheh
concerning the Lĕwites, so they did to them.
Num 8:23 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 8:24 “This applies to the Lĕwites: From twenty-five years old and
above let him come into active service in the service of the Tent of Meeting,
Num 8:25 and at the age of fifty years they retire from active service of the
service, and serve no more,
Num 8:26 but they shall attend with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to
guard the duty, but shall do no service. Thus you shall do to the Lĕwites
regarding their duties.”

Num 9:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the first
month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Mitsrayim,
saying,
Num 9:2 “Now, let the children of Yisra’ĕl perform the Passover at its
appointed time.
Num 9:3 “On the fourteenth day of this month, between the evenings,
perform it at its appointed time. According to all its laws and right-rulings
you perform it.”
Num 9:4 And Mosheh spoke to the children of Yisra’ĕl to perform the
Passover.
Num 9:5 So they performed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first
month, between the evenings, in the Wilderness of Sinai. According to all
that יהוה commanded Mosheh, so the children of Yisra’ĕl did.
Num 9:6 But there were men who were defiled for a being of a man, so that
they were not able to perform the Passover on that day. So they came before
Mosheh and Aharon that day,
Num 9:7 and those men said to him, “We are defiled for the being of a man.
Why are we withheld from bringing near the offering of יהוה at its appointed
time among the children of Yisra’ĕl?”
Num 9:8 And Mosheh said to them, “Wait, let me hear what יהוה commands
concerning you.”
Num 9:9 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 9:10 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When any male of you
or your generations is unclean for a being, or is far away on a journey, he
shall still perform the Passover of יהוה.
Num 9:11 ‘On the fourteenth day of the second month, between the evenings,
they perform it – with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they eat it.
Num 9:12 ‘They do not leave of it until morning, and they do not break a
bone of it. According to all the laws of the Passover they perform it.
Num 9:13 ‘But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and has failed
to perform the Passover, that same being shall be cut off from among his
people, because he did not bring the offering of יהוה at its appointed time –
that man bears his sin.
Num 9:14 ‘And when a stranger sojourns among you, then he shall perform
the Passover of יהוה. He shall do so according to the law of the Passover and
according to its right-ruling. You have one law, both for the stranger and the
native of the land.’ ”
Num 9:15 And on the day that the Dwelling Place was raised up, the cloud
covered the Dwelling Place, the Tent of the Witness. From evening until
morning it was above the Dwelling Place like the appearance of fire.
Num 9:16 Thus it was continually: the cloud covered it by day, and the
appearance of fire by night.
Num 9:17 And whenever the cloud was taken up from above the Tent, after
that the children of Yisra’ĕl would depart. And in the place where the cloud
dwelt, there the children of Yisra’ĕl would camp.
Num 9:18 At the command of יהוה the children of Yisra’ĕl departed, and at
the command of יהוה they camped. They remained camped as long as the
cloud dwelt above the Dwelling Place.
Num 9:19 Even when the cloud lingered many days above the Dwelling
Place, the children of Yisra’ĕl guarded the Charge of יהוה, and did not depart.
Num 9:20 And so it was, when the cloud was above the Dwelling Place a
few days: according to the command of יהוה they camped, and according to
the command of יהוה they would depart.
Num 9:21 And so it was, when the cloud dwelt only from evening until
morning: when the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they departed.
Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud was taken up, they departed.
Num 9:22 Whether two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud lingered
above the Dwelling Place to dwell upon it, the children of Yisra’ĕl camped,
and did not depart. But when it was taken up, they departed.
Num 9:23 At the command of יהוה they camped, and at the command of יהוה
they departed. They guarded the Charge of יהוה, at the command of יהוה by the
hand of Mosheh.

camp.

according to their divisions, when they departed.
Num 10:29 And Mosheh said to Ḥoḇaḇ, the son of Re‛uw’ĕl the Miḏyanite,
Mosheh’s father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which יהוה said,
‘I give it to you.’ Come with us, and we shall do good to you, for יהוה has
spoken good concerning Yisra’ĕl.”
Num 10:30 And he replied to him, “I am not going, but I am going to my own
land and to my relatives.”
Num 10:31 Then he said, “Please do not leave us, because you know how
we are to camp in the wilderness, and you shall be our eyes.
Num 10:32 “And it shall be, when you go with us, then it shall be that
whatever good יהוה does to us, the same we shall do to you.”

days. And the ark of the covenant of יהוה went before them for the three days’
journey, to seek out a resting place for them.
Num 10:34 And the cloud of יהוה was above them by day when they went out
from the camp.
Num 10:35 And it came to be, whenever the ark set out, that Mosheh said,
“Rise up, O יהוה ! And let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate
You flee before You.”
Num 10:36 And when it rested, he said, “Return, O יהוה, to the countless
thousands of Yisra’ĕl.”
