14

Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.

Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.

Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.

If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.

And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:

And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,

But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
