King James Version
1. Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2. So they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard it . 3. (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.) 4. Suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!" So the three came out. 5. Then the LORD came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward. 6. Then He said, "Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I , the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. 7. Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house. 8. I speak with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant Moses?" 9. So the anger of the LORD was aroused against them, and He departed. 10. And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper. 11. So Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned. 12. "Please do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!" 13. So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "Please heal her, O God, I pray!" 14. Then the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again ." 15. So Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in again . 16. And afterward the people moved from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
1. And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2. "Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them." 3. So Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran according to the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. 4. Now these were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur; 5. from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori; 6. from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; 7. from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph; 8. from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun; 9. from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu; 10. from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi; 11. from the tribe of Joseph, that is , from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi; 12. from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli; 13. from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael; 14. from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi; 15. from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16. These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua. 17. Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way into the South, and go up to the mountains, 18. "and see what the land is like: whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many; 19. "whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds; 20. "whether the land is rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. Be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes. 21. So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, near the entrance of Hamath. 22. And they went up through the South and came to Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23. Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. 24. The place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there. 25. And they returned from spying out the land after forty days. 26. Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27. Then they told him, and said: "We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28. "Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29. "The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan." 30. Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it." 31. But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we." 32. And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33. "There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."
1. So all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. 2. And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, "If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! 3. "Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?" 4. So they said to one another, "Let us select a leader and return to Egypt." 5. Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 6. But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; 7. and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: "The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8. "If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ 9. "Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them." 10. And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel. 11. Then the LORD said to Moses: "How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the signs which I have performed among them? 12. "I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they." 13. And Moses said to the LORD: "Then the Egyptians will hear it , for by Your might You brought these people up from among them, 14. "and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, LORD, are among these people; that You, LORD, are seen face to face and Your cloud stands above them, and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. 15. "Now if You kill these people as one man, then the nations which have heard of Your fame will speak, saying, 16. ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring this people to the land which He swore to give them, therefore He killed them in the wilderness.’ 17. "And now, I pray, let the power of my Lord be great, just as You have spoken, saying, 18. ‘The LORD is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty , visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation .’ 19. "Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, according to the greatness of Your mercy, just as You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now." 20. Then the LORD said: "I have pardoned, according to your word; 21. "but truly, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD–– 22. "because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice, 23. "they certainly shall not see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it. 24. "But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it. 25. "Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valley; tomorrow turn and move out into the wilderness by the Way of the Red Sea." 26. And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 27. "How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me? I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me. 28. "Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the LORD, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: 29. ‘The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above. 30. ‘Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in. 31. ‘But your little ones, whom you said would be victims, I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised. 32. ‘But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness. 33. ‘And your sons shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years, and bear the brunt of your infidelity, until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness. 34. ‘According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year, namely forty years, and you shall know My rejection. 35. ‘I the LORD have spoken this; I will surely do so to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.’" 36. Now the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation complain against him by bringing a bad report of the land, 37. those very men who brought the evil report about the land, died by the plague before the LORD. 38. But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, of the men who went to spy out the land. 39. Then Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly. 40. And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, "Here we are, and we will go up to the place which the LORD has promised, for we have sinned!" 41. And Moses said, "Now why do you transgress the command of the LORD? For this will not succeed. 42. "Do not go up, lest you be defeated by your enemies, for the LORD is not among you. 43. "For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have turned away from the LORD, the LORD will not be with you." 44. But they presumed to go up to the mountaintop; nevertheless, neither the ark of the covenant of the LORD nor Moses departed from the camp. 45. Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt in that mountain came down and attacked them, and drove them back as far as Hormah.
1. Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. 2. Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, "It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3. "Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4. "but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word." 5. And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, 6. whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them. 7. Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith. 8. And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. 9. Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen. 10. And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 11. Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God." 12. And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him , seized him, and brought him to the council. 13. They also set up false witnesses who said, "This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; 14. "for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us." 15. And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel.
