Moses

And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the people at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and said:

And the Lord said to him:

The daughters of Salphaad demand a just thing: Give them a possession among their father's kindred, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.

But if he have no uncles by the father, the inheritance shall be given to them that are the next akin. And this shall be to the children of Israel sacred by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.

The Lord also said to Moses: Go up into this mountain Abarim, and view from thence the land which I will give to the children of Israel.

And Moses answered him:

And the Lord said to him: take Josue the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and put thy hand upon him.

Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And, when he had taken Josue, he set him before Eleazar the priest, and all the assembly of the people,

And laying his hands on his head, he repeated all things that the Lord had commanded.

The Lord also said to Moses:

And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

And Moses told the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him:

But if he gainsay it after that he knew it, he shall bear her iniquity.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And Moses forthwith said: Arm of you men to fight, who may take the revenge of the Lord on the Madianites.

And Moses sent them with Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest, and he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.

And when they had fought against the Madianites and had overcome them, they slew all the men.

And they brought them to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the children of Israel. But the rest of the things for use they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, beside the Jordan over against Jericho.

And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the synagogue went forth to meet them without the camp.

And Moses being angry with the chief officers of the army, the tribunes, and the centurions that were come from the battle,

Said: Why have you saved the women?

Eleazar also the priest spoke to the men of the army, that had fought, in this manner: This is the ordinance of the law, which the Lord hath commanded Moses:

And the Lord said to Moses:

And Moses and Eleazar did as the Lord had commanded.

And Moses delivered the number of the firstfruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as had been commanded him,
