 against an oth er,  that per son  acts un faith ful ly

 as  rear  guard  for  all  the  camps,  and Ahi e zer

 of  the  tribe  of Ash er’s de scen dants, 27  and Ahi­

 the or der  of  march  for  the Is ra el ites  by  their 
mil i tary di vi sions  as  they  set  out. 29 Mo ses  said  to Ho bab, de scen dant  of Reu el 
 the Mid i an ite  and Moses’s rel a tive  by mar riage: 
Reu el  the Mid i an ite: “ We’re set ting  out  for  the 
 place  the  L ord prom ised: ‘ I  will  give  it  to  you.’ 
 Come  with  us,  and  we  will  treat  you  well,  for 
 the  L ord  has prom ised  good  things  to Is ra el.”
30  But  he re plied  to  him, “ I  don’t  want  to 
 go. In stead,  I  will  go  to  my  own  land  and  my 
rel a tives.”
31 “ Please  don’t  leave  us,” Mo ses  said, “ since 
 you  know  where  we  should  camp  in  the wil­
der ness,  and  you  can  serve  as  our  eyes. 32  If 
 you  come  with  us, what ev er  good  the  L ord 
 does  for  us  we  will  do  for  you.”
33  They  set  out  from  the moun tain  of  the 
 L ord  on  a three­day jour ney  with  the  ark  of 
 the  L ord’ s cov enant trav el ing  ahead  of  them 
 for  those  three  days  to  seek  a rest ing  place 
 for  them. 34 Mean while,  the  cloud  of  the  L ord 
 was  over  them  by  day  when  they  set  out  from 
 the  camp. 35 When ev er  the  ark  set  out, Mo ses  would 
 say:
  Arise, Lord! Let your enemies be scattered,
  and those who hate you flee 
from your presence. 36  When  it  came  to  rest,  he  would  say:
  Return, Lord,
  to the countless thousands of Israel. COMPLAINTS A bOUT HARDSHIP

15  Then Mo ses be came an gry  and  said  to  the 
 L ord, “ Don’t re spect  their of er ing. I  have  not 
tak en  one don key  from  them  or mis treat ed  a 
sin gle  one  of  them.” 16  So Mo ses  told Ko rah, 
“ You  and  all  your fol low ers  are  to ap pear be fore 
 the  L ord to mor row  —   you,  they ,  and Aar on. 17  Each  of  you  is  to  take  his firepan,  place in­
cense  on  it,  and pre sent  his firepan be fore 
 the  L ord  —   250 fire pans. You  and Aar on  are 
 each  to pre sent  your firepan  also.”
18  Each  man  took  his firepan,  placed  fire  in  it, 
 put in cense  on  it,  and  stood  at  the en trance  to 
 the  tent  of meet ing  along  with Mo ses  and Aar on. 19 Af ter Ko rah as sem bled  the  whole com mu ni­
ty  against  them  at  the en trance  to  the  tent  of 
meet ing,  the glo ry  of  the  L ord ap peared  to  the 
 whole com mu ni ty . 20  The  L ord  spoke  to Mo ses 
 and Aar on, 21 “Sep a rate your selves  from  this 
com mu ni ty  so  I  may con sume  them in stant ly .”
22  But Mo ses  and Aar on  fell face down  and 
 said, “ God,  God  who  gives  breath  to  all, a  when 
 one  man  sins,  will  you  vent  your  wrath  on  the 
 whole com mu ni ty? ”
23  The  L ord re plied  to Mo ses, 24 “ Tell  the 
com mu ni ty:  Get  away  from  the dwell ings  of 
Ko rah, Da than,  and Abi ram.”
25 Mo ses  got  up  and  went  to Da than  and 
Abi ram,  and  the el ders  of Is ra el fol lowed  him. 26  He  warned  the com mu ni ty , “ Get  away  now 
 from  the  tents  of  these wick ed  men. Don’t  touch 
any thing  that be longs  to  them,  or  you  will  be 
 swept  away be cause  of  all  their  sins.” 27  So  they 
 got  away  from  the dwell ings  of Ko rah, Da than, 
 and Abi ram. Mean while, Da than  and Abi ram 
 came  out  and  stood  at  the en trance  of  their 
 tents  with  their  wives, chil dren,  and in fants. 28  Then Mo ses  said, “ This  is  how  you  will 
 know  that  the  L ord  sent  me  to  do  all  these 
 things  and  that  it  was  not  of  my  own  will: 29  If 
 these  men  die nat u ral ly  as  all peo ple  would, 
 and suf er  the  fate  of  all,  then  the  L ord  has 
 not  sent  me. 30  But  if  the  L ord  brings  about 
some thing un prec e dent ed,  and  the  ground 
 opens  its  mouth  and swal lows  them  along 
 with  all  that be longs  to  them  so  that  they  go 
 down  alive  into She ol,  then  you  will  know  that 
 these  men  have de spised  the  L ord.”
31  Just  as  he fin ished speak ing  all  these  words, 
 the  ground be neath  them  split  open. 32  The 
 earth  opened  its  mouth  and swal lowed  them 
 and  their house holds,  all Ko rah’s peo ple,  and 
 all  their pos ses sions.

 also  came  out  from  the  L ord  and con sumed

 L ord  or  swears  an  oath  to  put him self un der

“ Then  we  turned  and  went  up  the  road  to 
Ba shan,  and  King  Og  of Ba shan  came  out 
 against  us  with  his  whole  army  to  do bat tle  at 
Ed rei. 2  But  the  L ord  said  to  me, ‘ Do  not  fear

 lived  in Hesh bon.’ 3  So  the  L ord  our  God  also 
hand ed  over  King  Og  of Ba shan  and  his  whole 
 army  to  us. We  struck  him un til  there  was  no

 from  them: six ty cit ies,  the en tire re gion  of 
Ar gob,  the king dom  of  Og  in Ba shan. 5  All  these 
 were for ti fied  with  high  walls,  gates,  and  bars,
