Day 55: Numbers 29 - 32

Bible in a year reading for day 55.

Numbers 29

  1. 36 As a pleasing aroma to the LORD, you are to present an offering made by fire, a burnt offering of one bull, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished,
  2. 37 along with the grain and drink offerings for the bulls, rams, and lambs, according to the number prescribed.
  3. 38 Include one male goat as a sin offering, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its grain offering and drink offering.
  4. 39 You are to present these offerings to the LORD at your appointed times, in addition to your vow and freewill offerings, whether burnt offerings, grain offerings, drink offerings, or peace offerings.”
  5. 40 So Moses spoke all this to the Israelites just as the LORD had commanded him.

Numbers 30

  1. 1 Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
  2. 2 If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.
  3. 3 And if a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge,
  4. 4 and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
  5. 5 But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, then none of the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. The LORD will absolve her because her father has prohibited her.
  6. 6 If a woman marries while under a vow or rash promise by which she has bound herself,
  7. 7 and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her on that day, then the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
  8. 8 But if her husband prohibits her when he hears of it, he nullifies the vow that binds her or the rash promise she has made, and the LORD will absolve her.
  9. 9 Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her.
  10. 10 If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,
  11. 11 and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her and does not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
  12. 12 But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.
  13. 13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.
  14. 14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all the vows and pledges that bind her. He has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard about them.
  15. 15 But if he nullifies them after he hears of them, then he will bear her iniquity.”
  16. 16 These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter still in his home.

Numbers 31

  1. 1 And the LORD said to Moses,
  2. 2 “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
  3. 3 So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.
  4. 4 Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel.”
  5. 5 So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.
  6. 6 And Moses sent the thousand from each tribe into battle, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
  7. 7 Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
  8. 8 Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
  9. 9 The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.
  10. 10 Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,
  11. 11 and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.
  12. 12 They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.
  13. 13 And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.
  14. 14 But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle.
  15. 15 “Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.
  16. 16 “Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.
  17. 17 So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man,
  18. 18 but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
  19. 19 All of you who have killed a person or touched the dead are to remain outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and the seventh day you are to purify both yourselves and your captives.
  20. 20 And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”
  21. 21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:
  22. 22 Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—
  23. 23 everything that can withstand the fire—must be put through the fire, and it will be clean. But it must still be purified with the water of purification. And everything that cannot withstand the fire must pass through the water.
  24. 24 On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”
  25. 25 The LORD said to Moses,
  26. 26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the congregation are to take a count of what was captured, both of man and beast.
  27. 27 Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to battle and the rest of the congregation.
  28. 28 Set aside a tribute for the LORD from what belongs to the soldiers who went into battle: one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, or sheep.
  29. 29 Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.
  30. 30 From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”
  31. 31 So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,
  32. 32 and this plunder remained from the spoils the soldiers had taken: 675,000 sheep,
  33. 33 72,000 cattle,
  34. 34 61,000 donkeys,
  35. 35 and 32,000 women who had not slept with a man.
  36. 36 This was the half portion for those who had gone to war:
  37. 37 337,500 sheep, including a tribute to the LORD of 675,
  38. 38 36,000 cattle, including a tribute to the LORD of 72,
  39. 39 30,500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,
  40. 40 and 16,000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.
  41. 41 Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
  42. 42 From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,
  43. 43 this half belonged to the congregation: 337,500 sheep,
  44. 44 36,000 cattle,
  45. 45 30,500 donkeys,
  46. 46 and 16,000 people.
  47. 47 From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.
  48. 48 Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses
  49. 49 and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.
  50. 50 So we have brought to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”
  51. 51 So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.
  52. 52 All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.
  53. 53 Each of the soldiers had taken plunder for himself.
  54. 54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD.

Numbers 32

  1. 1 Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.
  2. 2 So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
  3. 3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
  4. 4 which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”
  5. 5 “If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”
  6. 6 But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
  7. 7 Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?
  8. 8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.
  9. 9 For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.
  10. 10 So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
  11. 11 ‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—
