As the LORD commanded Moshe, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

So all those who were numbered of the children of Yisra'el by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war in Yisra'el;

Thus the children of Yisra'el did. According to all that the LORD commanded Moshe, so they did.

"Then the tent of meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps. As they encamp, so shall they set out, every man in his place, by their standards.

Thus the children of Yisra'el did. According to all that the LORD commanded Moshe, so they encamped by their standards, and so they set out, everyone by their families, according to their fathers' houses.

The children of Yisra'el did so, and put them out outside of the camp; as the LORD spoke to Moshe, so did the children of Yisra'el.

"Speak to the children of Yisra'el: When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against the LORD, and that soul is guilty;

"This is the law of the Nazir who vows, and of his offering to the LORD for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his separation."

"So they shall put my name on the children of Yisra'el; and I will bless them."

Aharon did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the menorah, as the LORD commanded Moshe.

This was the workmanship of the menorah, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moshe, so he made the menorah.

Thus did Moshe, and Aharon, and all the congregation of the children of Yisra'el, to the Levites. According to all that the LORD commanded Moshe concerning the Levites, so the children of Yisra'el did to them.

After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aharon, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moshe concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

They kept the Pesach in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD commanded Moshe, so the children of Yisra'el did.

There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Pesach on that day, and they came before Moshe and before Aharon on that day.

If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the Pesach to the LORD; according to the statute of the Pesach, and according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one statute, both for the sojourner, and for him who is born in the land.'"

So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.

The LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy Zakenim: and it happened that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.

My servant Moshe is not so; he is faithful in all my house:

So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Tzin to Rechov, to the entrance of Hamat.
