| [1]וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר׃ |
[1]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 spoke unto Moses, saying: |
| [2]אֱמֹר אֶל־אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן־אַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן וְיָרֵם אֶת־הַמַּחְתֹּת מִבֵּין הַשְּׂרֵפָה וְאֶת־הָאֵשׁ זְרֵה־הָלְאָה כִּי קָדֵשׁוּ׃ |
[2]'Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the fire-pans out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are become holy; |
| [3]אֵת מַחְתֹּות הַחַטָּאִים הָאֵלֶּה בְּנַפְשֹׁתָם וְעָשׂוּ אֹתָם רִקֻּעֵי פַחִים צִפּוּי לַמִּזְבֵּחַ כִּי־הִקְרִיבֻם לִפְנֵי־יְהוָה וַיִּקְדָּשׁוּ וְיִהְיוּ לְאֹות לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
[3]Even the fire-pans of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar—for they are become holy, because they were offered before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇—that they may be a sign unto the children of Israel.' |
| [4]וַיִּקַּח אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן אֵת מַחְתֹּות הַנְּחֹשֶׁת אֲשֶׁר הִקְרִיבוּ הַשְּׂרֻפִים וַיְרַקְּעוּם צִפּוּי לַמִּזְבֵּחַ׃ |
[4]And Eleazar the priest took the brazen fire-pans, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar, |
| [5]זִכָּרֹון לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִקְרַב אִישׁ זָר אֲשֶׁר לֹא מִזֶּרַע אַהֲרֹן הוּא לְהַקְטִיר קְטֹרֶת לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וְלֹא־יִהְיֶה כְקֹרַח וְכַעֲדָתֹו כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה בְּיַד־מֹשֶׁה לֹו׃ |
[5]To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no common man, that is not of the seed of Aaron, draw near to burn incense before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; that he fare not as Korah, and as his company; a 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 spoke unto him by the hand of Moses. |
| [6]וַיִּלֹּנוּ כָּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמָּחֳרָת עַל־מֹשֶׁה וְעַל־אַהֲרֹן לֵאמֹר אַתֶּם הֲמִתֶּם אֶת־עַם יְהוָה׃ |
[6]But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying: 'Ye have killed the people of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.' |
| [7]וַיְהִי בְּהִקָּהֵל הָעֵדָה עַל־מֹשֶׁה וְעַל־אַהֲרֹן וַיִּפְנוּ אֶל־אֹהֶל מֹועֵד וְהִנֵּה כִסָּהוּ הֶעָןָן וַיֵּרָא כְּבֹוד יְהוָה׃ |
[7]And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting; and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory o 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 appeared. |
| [8]וַיָּבֹא מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן אֶל־פְּנֵי אֹהֶל מֹועֵד׃ |
[8]And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting. |
| [9]וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר׃ |
[9]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 spoke unto Moses, saying: |
| [10]הֵרֹמּוּ מִתֹּוךְ הָעֵדָה הַזֹּאת וַאֲכַלֶּה אֹתָם כְּרָגַע וַיִּפְּלוּ עַל־פְּנֵיהֶם׃ |
[10]'Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.' And they fell upon their faces. |
| [11]וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה אֶל־אַהֲרֹן קַח אֶת־הַמַּחְתָּה וְתֶן־עָלֶיהָ אֵשׁ מֵעַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְשִׂים קְטֹרֶת וְהֹולֵךְ מְהֵרָה אֶל־הָעֵדָה וְכַפֵּר עֲלֵיהֶם כִּי־יָצָא הַקֶּצֶף מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה הֵחֵל הַנָּגֶף׃ |
[11]And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Take thy fire-pan, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: the plague is begun.' |
| [12]וַיִּקַּח אַהֲרֹן כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר מֹשֶׁה וַיָּרָץ אֶל־תֹּוךְ הַקָּהָל וְהִנֵּה הֵחֵל הַנֶּגֶף בָּעָם וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־הַקְּטֹרֶת וַיְכַפֵּר עַל־הָעָם׃ |
[12]And Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people; and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people. |
| [13]וַיַּעֲמֹד בֵּין־הַמֵּתִים וּבֵין הַחַיִּים וַתֵּעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָה׃ |
[13]And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. |
| [14]וַיִּהְיוּ הַמֵּתִים בַּמַּגֵּפָה אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר אֶלֶף וּשְׁבַע מֵאֹות מִלְּבַד הַמֵּתִים עַל־דְּבַר־קֹרַח׃ |
[14]Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah. |
| [15]וַיָּשָׁב אַהֲרֹן אֶל־מֹשֶׁה אֶל־פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מֹועֵד וְהַמַּגֵּפָה נֶעֱצָרָה׃ |
[15]And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tent of meeting, and the plague was stayed. |
| [16]וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר׃ |
[16]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 spoke unto Moses, saying: |
| [17]דַּבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְקַח מֵאִתָּם מַטֶּה מַטֶּה לְבֵית אָב מֵאֵת כָּל־נְשִׂיאֵהֶם לְבֵית אֲבֹתָם שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר מַטֹּות אִישׁ אֶת־שְׁמֹו תִּכְתֹּב עַל־מַטֵּהוּ׃ |
[17]'Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; thou shalt write every man's name upon his rod. |
| [18]וְאֵת שֵׁם אַהֲרֹן תִּכְתֹּב עַל־מַטֵּה לֵוִי כִּי מַטֶּה אֶחָד לְרֹאשׁ בֵּית אֲבֹותָם׃ |
[18]And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for the head of their fathers' houses. |
| [19]וְהִנַּחְתָּם בְּאֹהֶל מֹועֵד לִפְנֵי הָעֵדוּת אֲשֶׁר אִוָּעֵד לָכֶם שָׁמָּה׃ |
[19]And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you. |
| [20]וְהָיָה הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אֶבְחַר־בֹּו מַטֵּהוּ יִפְרָח וַהֲשִׁכֹּתִי מֵעָלַי אֶת־תְּלֻנֹּות בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר הֵם מַלִּינִם עֲלֵיכֶם׃ |
[20]And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall bud; and I will make to cease from Me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.' |
| [21]וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּתְּנוּ אֵלָיו כָּל־נְשִׂיאֵיהֶם מַטֶּה לְנָשִׂיא אֶחָד מַטֶּה לְנָשִׂיא אֶחָד לְבֵית אֲבֹתָם שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר מַטֹּות וּמַטֵּה אַהֲרֹן בְּתֹוךְ מַטֹּותָם׃ |
[21]And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. |
| [22]וַיַּנַּח מֹשֶׁה אֶת־הַמַּטֹּת לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּאֹהֶל הָעֵדֻת׃ |
[22]And Moses laid up the rods before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 in the tent of the testimony. |
| [23]וַיְהִי מִמָּחֳרָת וַיָּבֹא מֹשֶׁה אֶל־אֹהֶל הָעֵדוּת וְהִנֵּה פָּרַח מַטֵּה־אַהֲרֹן לְבֵית לֵוִי וַיֹּצֵא פֶרַח וַיָּץֵץ צִיץ וַיִּגְמֹל שְׁקֵדִים׃ |
[23]And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and bore ripe almonds. |
| [24]וַיֹּצֵא מֹשֶׁה אֶת־כָּל־הַמַּטֹּת מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה אֶל־כָּל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּרְאוּ וַיִּקְחוּ אִישׁ מַטֵּהוּ׃ |
[24]And Moses brought out all the rods from before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 unto all the children of Israel; and they looked, and took every man his rod. |
| [25]וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה הָשֵׁב אֶת־מַטֵּה אַהֲרֹן לִפְנֵי הָעֵדוּת לְמִשְׁמֶרֶת לְאֹות לִבְנֵי־מֶרִי וּתְכַל תְּלוּנֹּתָם מֵעָלַי וְלֹא יָמֻתוּ׃ |
[25]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto Moses: 'Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept there, for a token against the rebellious children; that there may be made an end of their murmurings against Me, that they die not.' |
| [26]וַיַּעַשׂ מֹשֶׁה כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֹתֹו כֵּן עָשָׂה׃ |
[26]Thus did Moses; as 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 commanded him, so did he. |
| [27]וַיֹּאמְרוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵאמֹר הֵן גָּוַעְנוּ אָבַדְנוּ כֻּלָּנוּ אָבַדְנוּ׃ |
[27]And the children of Israel spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone. |
| [28]כֹּל הַקָּרֵב הַקָּרֵב אֶל־מִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה יָמוּת הַאִם תַּמְנוּ לִגְוֹעַ׃ |
[28]Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, is to die; shall we wholly perish?' |
