26 (44) Of the children of Asher after their families: of Yimna the family of the Yimna: of Yishvi, the family of the Yishvi: of Beri῾a, the family of the Beri῾i.

(45) Of the sons of Beri῾a: of Ḥever, the family of the Ḥevri: of Malki᾽el, the family of the Malki᾽eli.

(46) And the name of the daughter of Asher was Seraĥ.

(47) These are the families of the sons of Asher according to those that were numbered of them; who were fifty three thousand, four hundred.

(48) Of the sons of Naftali after their families: of Yaĥże᾽el, the family of the Yaĥże᾽eli: of Guni, the family of the Guni:

(49) of Yeżer, the family of the Yiżri: of Shillem, the family of the Shillemi.

(50) These are the families of Naftali according to their families: and they that were numbered of them were forty five thousand, four hundred.

(51) These were the numbered of the children of Yisra᾽el, six hundred and one thousand, seven hundred and thirty.

26 (52) And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

(53) To these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.

(54) To the more numerous thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: to everyone shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.

(55) Nevertheless the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

(56) According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between many and few.

(57) And these are they that were numbered of the Levi after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershoni: of Qehat, the family of the Qehati: of Merari, the family of the Merari.

(58) These are the families of Levi: the family of the Livni, the family of the Ḥevroni, the family of the Maĥli, the family of the Mushi, the family of the Qorĥi. And Qehat begot ῾Amram.

(59) And the name of ῾Amram’s wife was Yokheved, daughter of Levi, whom her mother bore to Levi in Miżrayim: and she bore to ῾Amram Aharon and Moshe, and Miryam their sister.

(60) And to Aharon was born Nadav, and Avihu, El῾azar and Itamar.

(61) And Nadav and Avihu died, when they offered strange fire before the Lord.

(62) And those that were numbered of them were twenty three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Yisra᾽el, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Yisra᾽el.

(63) These are they that were numbered by Moshe and El῾azar the priest, who numbered the children of Yisra᾽el in the plains of Mo᾽av by Yarden near Yereĥo.

(64) But among these there was not a man of them whom Moshe and Aharon the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Yisra᾽el in the wilderness of Sinay.

(65) For the Lord had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, except Kalev the son of Yefunne, and Yehoshua the son of Nun.

27 (1) Then came the daughters of Żelofĥad, the son of Ḥefer, the son of Gil῾ad, the son of Makhir, the son of Menashshe, of the families of Menashshe the son of Yosef: and these are the names of his daughters; Maĥla, No῾a, and Ḥogla, and Milka and Tirża.

(2) And they stood before Moshe, and before El῾azar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

(3) Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Qoraĥ; but he died in his own sin, and had no sons.

(4) Why should the name of our father be done away from his family, because he has no son? Give to us a possession among the brethren of our father.

(5) And Moshe brought their cause before the Lord.

27 (6) And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

(7) The daughters of Żelofĥad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

(8) And thou shalt speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.

(9) And if he have no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

(10) And if he have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

(11) And if his father have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Yisra᾽el a statute of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moshe.

(12) And the Lord said to Moshe, Go up into this mount ῾Avarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Yisra᾽el.

(13) And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aharon thy brother was gathered.

(14) For you rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Żin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Merivat-qadesh in the wilderness of Żin.

(15) And Moshe spoke to the Lord, saying,

(16) Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

(17) who may go out before them, and who may go in before them, and who may lead them out, and may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep that have no shepherd.

(18) And the Lord said to Moshe, Take thee Yehoshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is spirit, and lay thy hand upon him;

(19) and set him before El῾azar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

(20) And thou shalt put some of thy honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Yisra᾽el may be obedient.

(21) And he shall stand before El῾azar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of the Urim before the Lord: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Yisra᾽el with him, even all the congregation.

(22) And Moshe did as the Lord commanded him: and he took Yehoshua, and set him before El῾azar the priest, and before all the congregation:

(23) and he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moshe.

28 (1) And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

(2) Command the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, My offering, the provision of my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour to me, shall you observe to offer to me in their due season.

(3) And thou shalt say to them, This is the fire offering which you shall offer to the Lord; two lambs of the first year without blemish day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

(4) The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at evening;

(5) and a tenth part of an efa of flour for a meal offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil.

(6) It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinay for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord.

(7) And its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong drink to be poured to the Lord for a drink offering.

(8) And the other lamb shalt thou offer at evening: like the meal offering of the morning, and like its drink offering, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord.

(9) And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without blemish, and two tenth measures of flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and its drink offering:

(10) this is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering.

(11) And in the beginnings of your months you shall offer a burnt offering to the Lord; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish;

(12) and three tenth measures of flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth measures of flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;

(13) and a tenth measure of flour mingled with oil for a meal offering for every lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord.

(14) And their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for a ram, and a fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.

(15) And one kid of the goats for a sin offering to the Lord shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering.

28 (16) And on the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the Lord.

(17) And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

(18) On the first day shall be a holy gathering; you shall do no manner of servile work on it.

(19) And you shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering to the Lord; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be to you without blemish:

(20) and their meal offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth measures shall you offer for a bullock, and two tenth measures for a ram;

(21) a tenth measure shalt thou offer for every lamb, for the seven lambs:

(22) and one goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you.

(23) You shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

(24) After this manner you shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the provision of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering.

(25) And on the seventh day you shall have a holy gathering; you shall do no servile work.

(26) Also on the day of the firstfruits, when you bring a new meal offering to the Lord, in your feast of weeks, you shall have a holy gathering; you shall do no servile work.

(27) And you shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour to the Lord; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;

(28) and their meal offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth measures for one bullock, two tenth measures for one ram,

(29) a tenth measure for one lamb, for the seven lambs;

(30) and one kid of the goats, to make atonement for you.

(31) You shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and its meal offering, (they shall be to you without blemish) and their drink offerings.

29 (1) And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a holy gathering; you shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the horn to you.

(2) And you shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour to the Lord: one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish:

(3) and their meal offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth measures for a bullock, and two tenth measures for a ram,

(4) and one tenth measure for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:

(5) and one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make atonement for you:

(6) besides the burnt offering of the month, and its meal offering, and the daily burnt offering, and its meal offering, and their drink offerings, according to their ordinance, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord.

(7) And you shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month a holy gathering; and you shall afflict your souls: you shall not do any work:

(8) and you shall offer a burnt offering to the Lord for a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be to you without blemish:

(9) and their meal offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth measures to a bullock, and two tenth measures to one ram,

(10) a tenth measure for every lamb, for all the seven lambs:

(11) one kid of the goats for a sin offering; besides the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and their drink offerings.

29 (12) And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month you shall have a holy gathering; you shall do no servile work, and you shall keep a feast to the Lord seven days:

(13) and you shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year: they shall be without blemish:

(14) and their meal offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth measures to every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth measures to each ram of the two rams,

(15) and a tenth measure to each lamb of the fourteen lambs:

(16) and one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, its meal offering, and its drink offering.

(17) And on the second day you shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:

(18) and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance:

(19) and one kid of the goats for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and its meal offering, and their drink offerings.

(20) And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish;

(21) and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance:

(22) and one goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

(23) And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:

(24) their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance:

(25) and one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, its meal offering, and its drink offering.

(26) And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:

(27) and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance:

(28) and one goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

(29) And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:

(30) and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance:

(31) and one goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, its meal offering, and its drink offerings.

(32) And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:

(33) and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after their ordinance:

(34) and one goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, its meal offering, and its drink offering.

(35) On the eighth day you shall have a solemn assembly: you shall do no servile work:

(36) but you shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish:

(37) their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance:

(38) and one goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

(39) These things you shall do to the Lord in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meal offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.

30 (1) And Moshe told the children of Yisra᾽el according to all that the Lord commanded Moshe.

18 (46) And the hand of the Lord was on Eliyyahu; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Aĥ᾽av as far as the entrance to Yizre῾el. 19 (1) And Aĥ᾽av told Izevel all that Eliyyahu had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. (2) Then Izevel sent a messenger to Eliyyahu, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time. (3) And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Be᾽er-sheva, which belongs to Yehuda, and left his servant there. (4) But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. (5) And as he lay and slept under a broom tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat. (6) And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. (7) And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. (8) And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meal forty days and forty nights to Ḥorev the mountain of God. (9) And he came there to a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said to him, What art thou doing here, Eliyyahu? (10) And he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Yisra᾽el have forsaken Thy covenant, thrown down Thy altars, and slain Thy prophets with the sword; and I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. (11) And he said, Go out, and stand upon the mountain before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: (12) and after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. (13) And when Eliyyahu heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice to him, and said, What art thou doing here, Eliyyahu? (14) And he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Yisra᾽el have forsaken Thy covenant, thrown down Thy altars, and slain Thy prophets with the sword; and I, alone, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. (15) And the Lord said to him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Dammeseq: and when thou comest, anoint Ḥaza᾽el to be king over Aram: (16) and Yehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Yisra᾽el: and Elisha the son of Shafat of Avel-meĥola shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy place. (17) And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes the sword of Ḥaza᾽el shall Yehu slay: and him that escapes from the sword of Yehu shall Elisha slay. (18) Yet I will leave seven thousand in Yisra᾽el, all the knees that have not bowed to the Ba῾al, and every mouth that has not kissed him. (19) So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shafat, who was ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Eliyyahu passed by him, and cast his mantle on him. (20) And he left the oxen, and ran after Eliyyahu, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him, Go and come back again: for what have I done to thee? (21) And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slaughtered them, and boiled their flesh with the equipment of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Eliyyahu, and attended him.

1. A thick woolen jacket or a thick wooden block does not bring uncleanness until they are one handbreadth high off the ground. If [garments] are folded one above the other they do not bring uncleanness until the uppermost is one handbreadth high off the ground. Tablets of wood [placed] one above the other do not bring uncleanness unless the uppermost is one handbreadth high off the ground; But if they were of marble, the uncleanness cleaves upwards and downwards.

2. [With regard to] wooden tablets which touch each other at their corners, and are one handbreadth high off the ground: If there is uncleanness beneath one of them, [a person] touching the second [tablet] becomes defiled with seven-day defilement. Vessels under the first [tablet] become unclean; but those under the second remain clean. A table does not bring uncleanness unless it contains a square of at least one handbreadth.

3. [With regard to] jars standing on their bottoms or lying on their sides in the open air and touching one another to the extent of a handbreadth: If there is uncleanness beneath one of them, the uncleanness cleaves upwards and downwards. When does this rule apply? When the [jars] are clean. But in the case where they were unclean or one handbreadth high off the ground, if there is uncleanness beneath one of them, what is beneath all becomes unclean.

4. [With regard to] a house, sectioned off by boards or curtains from the sides or from the roof beams: If there is uncleanness in the house, vessels beyond the partition remain clean. If there is uncleanness beyond the partition, vessels in the house become unclean. [With regard to] the vessels beyond the partition: If there is a space of a [cubic] handbreadth there, they become unclean, But if not, they are clean.

5. [In the case where] it was partitioned off from the floor: If there is uncleanness beneath the partition, vessels in the house become unclean. [In the case where] the uncleanness is in the house, vessels beneath the partition, If there is a space there of one cubic hand breadth, remain clean; But if not, they become unclean, since the floor of the house is reckoned as the house even to the nethermost deep.

6. [With regard to] a house filled with straw, without a space of a handbreadth [being left] between [the straw] and the roof beams: If there is uncleanness within [the straw], vessels at the exit become unclean. [In the case where] the uncleanness was outside [the area of the straw], with regard to the vessels within: If they are in a space of a cubic handbreadth, they remain clean, But if not they become unclean. If there is a space of a handbreadth between the straw and the roof beams, in either case the vessels become unclean.

7. [With regard to] a house filled with earth or pebbles which he [decided] to leave there, or similarly a heap of produce or a mound of pebbles even such as Akhan's mound, and even if the uncleanness is by the side of the vessels, the uncleanness cleaves upwards and downwards.

8. [With regard to] the courtyard of a tomb: A person standing in it remains clean as long as there is a space of four cubits square, according to the words of Bet Shammai. Bet Hillel says: four handbreadths. [With regard to] a roof beam which had been used as a covering stone for a tomb, whether it is standing upright or lying on its side, nothing becomes unclean except what [touches] opposite the opening of the grave. If the end [of the beam] were made the covering stone of a grave, only [that part] up to four handbreadths [from the grave] becomes unclean. [This applies] when [the beam] is going to be cut. Rabbi Judah says: all the beam is connected.

9. A jar full of clean liquid and sealed with a tightly fitting lid, which had been made the covering stone of a tomb, a person touching it contracts seven-day uncleanness but the jar and the liquid remain clean. An animal that had been used as a covering stone, a person touching it contracts seven-day uncleanness. Rabbi Meir says: anything possessing the breath of life does convey uncleanness on account of [its being used as] a covering stone.

10. One who touches a corpse and touches vessels, one who overshadows a corpse and touches vessels, they [the vessels] are unclean. One who overshadows a corpse and overshadows vessels, one who touches a corpse and overshadows vessels, they [the vessels] are clean. If his hands are a handbreadth wide, they are unclean. Two houses, and in each there is a half an olive's worth of corpse and he puts one hand into each house: If his hands are a handbreadth wide, he brings uncleanness; But if not, he does not bring uncleanness.

Rabbi Yirmeya bar Abba says that Rabbi Yoḥanan says: A woman who discharges an entity is impure only if the entire face of the fetus has a human form. This includes its forehead, and the eyebrows, and the eyes, and the cheeks, and its chin. The woman is not impure unless these facial features all as one have the human form. Rava says that Ḥasa says: It is sufficient for the fetus to have the appearance of a human on one side of its face; its forehead, and one eyebrow, and one eye, and one cheek, and its chin are enough. The woman is not impure unless these facial features all as one have the human form.

And Rabbi Yoḥanan and Ḥasa do not disagree about whether the halakha is in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Meir or that of the Rabbis, as they both accept the opinion of the Rabbis. The difference between them is that this amora, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds like the one who says that the Rabbis require the entire form of the face to be human, and that amora, Ḥasa, holds like the one who says that the Rabbis require only a recognizable part of the form of a human face.

Ḥasa evidently interprets the version of the Rabbis’ statement that only part of a human face is required as referring to half of a human face. The Gemara raises an objection to this interpretation from a baraita: The miscarriage of a fetus with the form of a human face, which the Rabbis said renders the woman impure, includes even one of the facial features, apart from the ear. Apparently, that is to say that even if the fetus has only one facial feature of a human, this is also sufficient to render the woman impure.

Abaye says: When that baraita is taught, it is taught with regard to the halakha of rendering all of the facial features indispensable for the fetus to be defined as human, except for the ear. And this ruling is in accordance with the one who says that the Rabbis require that the entire form of the face must be human. And if you wish, say that actually this ruling is in accordance with the one who says that the Rabbis require only a recognizable part of the form of a human face. And what is the meaning of the claim that it is sufficient for the fetus to have one facial feature of a human? It means one of each facial feature of which a human has two, i.e., one eye, one eyebrow, and so on.

Rava says: In a case where a fetus was created with one eye or with one thigh, if the eye is located to the side on the middle of the face, or the thigh is located at the side of the hip, where a human eye or thigh is normally located, the fetus is considered human, and its mother is impure. If it appears in the middle of the face or hip, the fetus is not considered human, and its mother is pure.

Rava says: If its esophagus is punctured, although the fetus is considered a tereifa, i.e., one that has a wound that will cause it to die within twelve months, its mother is impure. But if its esophagus is sealed, i.e., it is closed at one end, it does not have the status of a human fetus, and therefore its mother is pure.

One who makes the color of a dye is surely [doing] a subcategory of dying, so he is liable. How is this? For example, one who placed iron sulfate into gallnut extract so that it would all become black or placed safflower into saffron extract so that it would all become green. And likewise anything that is similar to this. And what is its [requisite] amount? Enough to dye a thread the length of four handbreadths.

One who spins the length of four handbreadths from anything that can be spun is liable – it is the same if he spins wool, flax, plumage or hair. Likewise anything that is similar to them. One who makes felt is surely [doing] a subcategory of spinning, so he is liable. And that is when he makes into felt something from which it is possible to spin the length of four handbreadths of a medium width.
