King James Version
1. And it came to pass, after the plague, that the LORD spoke to Moses and Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying: 2. "Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel from twenty years old and above, by their fathers’ houses, all who are able to go to war in Israel." 3. So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, saying: 4. " Take a census of the people from twenty years old and above, just as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt." 5. Reuben was the firstborn of Israel. The children of Reuben were: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites; 6. of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. 7. These are the families of the Reubenites: those who were numbered of them were forty–three thousand seven hundred and thirty. 8. And the son of Pallu was Eliab. 9. The sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram, representatives of the congregation, who contended against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they contended against the LORD; 10. and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah when that company died, when the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign. 11. Nevertheless the children of Korah did not die. 12. The sons of Simeon according to their families were: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites; of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites; 13. of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites; of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites. 14.

These are the families of the sons of Gad according to those who were numbered of them: forty thousand five hundred. 19.

And the sons of Judah according to their families were: of Shelah, the family of the Shelanites; of Perez, the family of the Parzites; of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites. 21. And the sons of Perez were: of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites. 22.

These are the families of Issachar according to those who were numbered of them: sixty–four thousand three hundred. 26. The sons of Zebulun according to their families were : of Sered, the family of the Sardites; of Elon, the family of the Elonites; of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites. 27. These are the families of the Zebulunites according to those who were numbered of them: sixty thousand five hundred. 28. The sons of Joseph according to their families, by Manasseh and Ephraim, were : 29. The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites; and Machir begot Gilead; of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites. 30. These are the sons of Gilead: of Jeezer, the family of the Jeezerites; of Helek, the family of the Helekites; 31. of Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; of Shechem, the family of the Shechemites; 32. of Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites; of Hepher, the family of the Hepherites. 33. Now Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters; and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 34. These are the families of Manasseh; and those who were numbered of them were fifty–two thousand seven hundred. 35. These are the sons of Ephraim according to their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthalhites; of Becher, the family of the Bachrites; of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites. 36. And these are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites. 37. These are the families of the sons of Ephraim according to those who were numbered of them: thirty–two thousand five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph according to their families. 38. The sons of Benjamin according to their families were: of Bela, the family of the Belaites; of Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites; of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites; 39. of Shupham, the family of the Shuphamites; of Hupham, the family of the Huphamites. 40.

These are the sons of Benjamin according to their families; and those who were numbered of them were forty–five thousand six hundred. 42. These are the sons of Dan according to their families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites. These are the families of Dan according to their families. 43.

The sons of Asher according to their families were : of Jimna, the family of the Jimnites; of Jesui, the family of the Jesuites; of Beriah, the family of the Beriites. 45. Of the sons of Beriah: of Heber, the family of the Heberites; of Malchiel, the family of the Malchielites. 46. And the name of the daughter of Asher was Serah. 47. These are the families of the sons of Asher according to those who were numbered of them: fifty–three thousand four hundred. 48. The sons of Naphtali according to their families were : of Jahzeel, the family of the Jahzeelites; of Guni, the family of the Gunites; 49. of Jezer, the family of the Jezerites; of Shillem, the family of the Shillemites. 50. These are the families of Naphtali according to their families; and those who were numbered of them were forty–five thousand four hundred. 51. These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel: six hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty. 52. Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 53. "To these the land shall be divided as an inheritance, according to the number of names. 54. "To a large tribe you shall give a larger inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a smaller inheritance. Each shall be given its inheritance according to those who were numbered of them. 55. "But the land shall be divided by lot; they shall inherit according to the names of the tribes of their fathers. 56. "According to the lot their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller." 57. And these are those who were numbered of the Levites according to their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites. 58. These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, and the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begot Amram. 59. The name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and to Amram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam. 60. To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 61. And Nadab and Abihu died when they offered profane fire before the LORD. 62. Now those who were numbered of them were twenty–three thousand, every male from a month old and above; for they were not numbered among the other children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given to them among the children of Israel. 63. These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho. 64. But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Sinai. 65. For the LORD had said of them, "They shall surely die in the wilderness." So there was not left a man of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
1. Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice? 2. She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, Beside the way, where the paths meet. 3. She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entrance of the doors: 4. "To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men. 5. O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart. 6. Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, And from the opening of my lips will come right things; 7. For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8. All the words of my mouth are with righteousness; Nothing crooked or perverse is in them. 9. They are all plain to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge. 10. Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold; 11. For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her. 12. "I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge and discretion. 13. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate. 14. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength. 15. By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice. 16. By me princes rule, and nobles, All the judges of the earth. 17. I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me. 18. Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness. 19. My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver. 20. I traverse the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice, 21. That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, That I may fill their treasuries. 22. "The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old. 23. I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth. 24. When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water. 25. Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was brought forth; 26. While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, Or the primeval dust of the world. 27. When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep, 28. When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep, 29. When He assigned to the sea its limit, So that the waters would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth, 30. Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him, 31. Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was with the sons of men. 32. "Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways. 33. Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it . 34. Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors. 35. For whoever finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the LORD; 36. But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death."
1. Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars; 2. She has slaughtered her meat, She has mixed her wine, She has also furnished her table. 3. She has sent out her maidens, She cries out from the highest places of the city, 4. "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, 5. "Come, eat of my bread And drink of the wine I have mixed. 6. Forsake foolishness and live, And go in the way of understanding. 7. "He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself. 8. Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man , and he will love you. 9. Give instruction to a wise man , and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man , and he will increase in learning. 10. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 11. For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you. 12. If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone." 13. A foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knows nothing. 14. For she sits at the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city, 15. To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way: 16. "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here"; And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, 17. "Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant." 18. But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell.
1. Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts , but especially that you may prophesy. 2. For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him ; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 3. But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. 4. He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5. I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification. 6. But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching? 7. Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played? 8. For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle? 9. So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 10. There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance. 11. Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me. 12. Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel. 13. Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 14. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding. 16. Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say? 17. For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified. 18. I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all; 19. yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
