Korach "Baldness"
Num 16:1 - 18:32 , 1 Samuel 11:14 - 12:22
Reader 1 (Evening Portion)
Num 16:1 Now Korach, the son of Yitzhar, the son of Kehat, the son of Levi, and Datan and Aviram, the sons of Eli'av, and On, the son of Pelet, sons of Re'uven, took men:
Num 16:2 And they rose up before Moshe, with certain of the children of Yisra'el, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
Num 16:3 And they gathered themselves together against Moshe and against Aharon, and said unto them, You take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and YHWH is among them: wherefore then lift you up yourselves above the congregation of YHWH?
Num 16:4 And when Moshe heard it, he fell upon his face:
Num 16:5 And he spoke unto Korach and unto all his company, saying, Even tomorrow YHWH will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto Him: even him whom He has chosen will he cause to come near unto Him.
Num 16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korach, and all his company;
Num 16:7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before YHWH tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom YHWH does choose, he shall be holy: you take too much upon you, you sons of Levi.
(Morning Portion)
Num 16:8 And Moshe said unto Korach, Hear, I pray you, you sons of Levi:
Num 16:9 Seem it but a small thing unto you, that the Elohim of Yisra'el has separated you from the congregation of Yisra'el, to bring you near to Himself to do the service of the tabernacle of YHWH, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
Num 16:10 And He has brought you near to Him, and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you: and seek you the priesthood also?
Num 16:11 For which cause both you and all your company are gathered together against YHWH: and what is Aharon, that you murmur against him?
Num 16:12 And Moshe sent to call Datan and Aviram, the sons of Eli'av: which said, We will not come up:
Num 16:13 Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land that flows with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except you make yourself altogether a prince over us?
Reader 2 (Evening Portion)
Num 16:14 Moreover you have not brought us into a land that flows with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
Num 16:15 And Moshe was very wroth, and said unto YHWH, Respect not you their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
Num 16:16 And Moshe said unto Korach, Be you and all your company before YHWH, you, and they, and Aharon, tomorrow:
Num 16:17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring you before YHWH every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; you also, and Aharon, each of you his censer.
(Morning Portion)
Num 16:18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moshe and Aharon.
Num 16:19 And Korach gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of YHWH appeared unto all the congregation.
Reader 3 (Evening Portion)
Num 16:20 And YHWH spoke unto Moshe and unto Aharon, saying,
Num 16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
Num 16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O Elohim, the Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be wroth with all the congregation?
Num 16:23 And YHWH spoke unto Moshe, saying,
Num 16:24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korach, Datan, and Avi'ram.
Num 16:25 And Moshe rose up and went unto Datan and Avi'ram; and the elders of Yisra'el followed him.
Num 16:26 And he spoke unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.
Num 16:27 So they got up from the tabernacle of Korach, Datan, and Avi'ram, on every side: and Datan and Avi'ram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
Num 16:28 And Moshe said, Hereby you shall know that YHWH has sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of my own mind.
Num 16:29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then YHWH has not sent me.
Num 16:30 But if YHWH make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that pertains unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then you shall understand that these men have provoked YHWH.
Num 16:31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
Num 16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that pertained unto Korach, and all their goods.
Num 16:33 They, and all that pertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
Num 16:34 And all Yisra'el that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
Num 16:35 And there came out a fire from YHWH, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
(Morning Portion)
Num 16:36 And YHWH spoke unto Moshe, saying,
Num 16:37 Speak unto El'azar the son of Aharon the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter you the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
Num 16:38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before YHWH, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Yisra'el.
Num 16:39 And El'azar the priest took the copper censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
Num 16:40 To be a memorial unto the children of Yisra'el, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aharon, come near to offer incense before YHWH; that he be not as Korach, and as his company: as YHWH said to him by the hand of Moshe.
Num 16:41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Yisra'el murmured against Moshe and against Aharon, saying, You have killed the people of YHWH.
Num 16:42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moshe and against Aharon, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of YHWH appeared.
Num 16:43 And Moshe and Aharon came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
Reader 4 (Evening Portion)
Num 16:44 And YHWH spoke unto Moshe, saying,
Num 16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
(Morning Portion)
Num 16:46 And Moshe said unto Aharon, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from YHWH; the plague is begun.
Num 16:47 And Aharon took as Moshe commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
Num 16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Num 16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korach.
Num 16:50 And Aharon returned unto Moshe unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
Reader 5 (Evening Portion)
Num 17:1 And YHWH spoke unto Moshe, saying,
Num 17:2 Speak unto the children of Yisra'el, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write you every man's name upon his rod.
Num 17:3 And you shall write Aharon's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
Num 17:4 And you shall lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
Num 17:5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Yisra'el, whereby they murmur against you.
Num 17:6 And Moshe spoke unto the children of Yisra'el, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: and the rod of Aharon was among their rods.
Num 17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before YHWH in the tabernacle of witness.
(Morning Portion)
Num 17:8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moshe went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aharon for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
Num 17:9 And Moshe brought out all the rods from before YHWH unto all the children of Yisra'el: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
Reader 6 (Evening Portion)
Num 17:10 And YHWH said unto Moshe, Bring Aharon's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and you shall quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
Num 17:11 And Moshe did so: as YHWH commanded him, so did he.
Num 17:12 And the children of Yisra'el spoke unto Moshe, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
Num 17:13 Whosoever comes any thing near unto the tabernacle of YHWH shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
Num 18:1 And YHWH said unto Aharon, You and your sons and your father's house with you shall bear the lawlessness of the sanctuary: and you and your sons with you shall bear the lawlessness of your priesthood.
Num 18:2 And your brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring you with you, that they may be joined unto you, and minister unto you: but you and your sons with you shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.
Num 18:3 And they shall keep your charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come near the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor you also, die.
Num 18:4 And they shall be joined unto you, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come near unto you.
Num 18:5 And you shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Yisra'el.
Num 18:6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levi'im from among the children of Yisra'el: to you they are given as a gift for YHWH, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Num 18:7 Therefore you and your sons with you shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and you shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.
Num 18:8 And YHWH spoke unto Aharon, Behold, I also have given you the charge of my heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Yisra'el; unto you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, by an ordinance for ever.
Num 18:9 This shall be yours of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every minkha offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
Num 18:10 In the most holy place shall you eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto you.
Num 18:11 And this is yours; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Yisra'el: I have given them unto you, and to thy sons and to your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in your house shall eat of it.
Num 18:12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto YHWH, them have I given you.
Num 18:13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto YHWH, shall be yours; every one that is clean in your house shall eat of it.
Num 18:14 Every thing devoted in Yisra'el shall be yours.
Num 18:15 Every thing that opens the womb in all flesh, which they bring unto YHWH, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be yours: nevertheless the firstborn of man shall you surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shall you redeem.
Num 18:16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shall you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
Num 18:17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy: you shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto YHWH.
Num 18:18 And the flesh of them shall be yours, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are yours.
Num 18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Yisra'el offer unto YHWH, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before YHWH unto you and to your seed with you.
Num 18:20 And YHWH spoke unto Aharon, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any part among them: I am your part and your inheritance among the children of Yisra'el.
Reader 7 (6th Day Morning Portion)
Num 18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Yisra'el for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Num 18:22 Neither must the children of Yisra'el henceforth come near the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
Num 18:23 But the Levi'im shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their lawlessness: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Yisra'el they have no inheritance.
Num 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Yisra'el, which they offer as an heave offering unto YHWH, I have given to the Levi'im to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Yisra'el they shall have no inheritance.
Num 18:25 And YHWH spoke unto Moshe, saying,
Num 18:26 Thus speak unto the Levi'im, and say unto them, When you take of the children of Yisra'el the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up an heave offering of it for YHWH, a tenth part of the tithe.
Num 18:27 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the grrain of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
Num 18:28 Thus you also shall offer an heave offering unto YHWH of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Yisra'el; and you shall give thereof YHWH'S heave offering to Aharon the priest.
Num 18:29 Out of all your gifts you shall offer every heave offering of YHWH, of all the best thereof, the hallowed part thereof out of it.
Num 18:30 Therefore you shall say unto them, When you have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levi'im as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
Num 18:31 And you shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
Num 18:32 And you shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall you pollute the holy things of the children of Yisra'el, lest you die.
Haftarah (Shabbat Evening Portion)
1Sa 11:14 Then said Shemu'el to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
1Sa 11:15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Sha'ul king before YHWH in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before YHWH; and there Sha'ul and all the men of Yisra'el rejoiced greatly.
1Sa 12:1 And Shamu'el said unto all Yisra'el, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that you said unto me, and have made a king over you.
1Sa 12:2 And now, behold, the king walks before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
1Sa 12:3 Behold, here I am: witness against me before YHWH, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose donkey have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind my eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
1Sa 12:4 And they said, You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man's hand.
1Sa 12:5 And he said unto them, YHWH is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
1Sa 12:6 And Shemu'el said unto the people, It is YHWH that advanced Moshe and Aharon, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
1Sa 12:7 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before YHWH of all the righteous acts of YHWH, which He did to you and to your fathers.
1Sa 12:8 When Ya'akov was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto YHWH, then YHWH sent Moshe and Aharon, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
1Sa 12:9 And when they forgot YHWH their Elohim, He sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Chatzor, and into the hand of the Pelishtim, and into the hand of the king of Moav, and they fought against them.
1Sa 12:10 And they cried unto YHWH, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken YHWH, and have served Ba'alim and Ashtarot: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.
1Sa 12:11 And YHWH sent Yerubba'al, and Bedan, and Yiftach, and Shemu'el, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and you dwelled safe.
1Sa 12:12 And when you saw that Nachash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, you said unto me, No; but a king shall reign over us: when YHWH your Elohim was your king.
1Sa 12:13 Now therefore behold the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have desired! and, behold, YHWH has set a king over you.
1Sa 12:14 If you will fear YHWH, and serve him, and obey His voice, and not rebel against the commandment of YHWH, then shall both you and also the king that reigns over you continue following YHWH your Elohim:
1Sa 12:15 But if you will not obey the voice of YHWH, but rebel against the commandment of YHWH, then shall the hand of YHWH be against you, as it was against your fathers.
1Sa 12:16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which YHWH will do before your eyes.
1Sa 12:17 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call unto YHWH, and He shall send thunder and rain; that you may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of YHWH, in asking you a king.
1Sa 12:18 So Shemu'el called unto YHWH; and YHWH sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared YHWH and Shemu'el.
1Sa 12:19 And all the people said unto Shemu'el, Pray for your servants unto YHWH your Elohim, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
1Sa 12:20 And Shemu'el said unto the people, Fear not: you have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following YHWH, but serve YHWH with all your heart;
1Sa 12:21 And turn you not aside: for then should you go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
1Sa 12:22 For YHWH will not forsake His people for His great name's sake: because it has pleased YHWH to make you His people.
