NUMBERS. 12——-7 Listen now to My 10 II I2 words. If you are prophets of the Evan-uvxuc look at ME. When I speak to you, it is a revelation in your dreams. It is not the same as with My servant Moses ;——he is faith- ful in all My House. I speak face to face with him, and in visions, and he has not to seek the EvEx·x.1v11~1<; in enigmas and parables. T hen why have you not regarded the message And the auger of the EVBRLIVING burnt at them, and He departed. Then the cloud turned from above

the Hall, and Miriam had become a leper as white as snow; and Aaron recoiled from Miriam now she was a

leper, and Aaron said to Moses, Pray to the Anmxourr so that H12

may not lay upon us the sin which we attempted, and that we have com- mitted. Let her not be like what comesdead from its mother’s womb, with half of its flesh consumed ! Therefore Mosescried to the EVER-

I pray Gon to cure And the Evnx·1.1v1z~:o replied;

‘ If her father had spit in her face would she not be disgraced for seven days P Let her be isolated for seven days outside the camp; and after- wards she may return. Miriam was therefore isolated out-

side the camp for seven days, and the people did not march until the

16 return of Miriam, but the people 13 ness of Paran. 3 $111*hzg uf Wnttntt nrhcrch. marched afterwards, from the Green- fields} and encamped in the Wilder- Then the EvER·L1vxNG spoke to Moses, commanding; Send men and let them survey

the land of Canan, which I will give to the children of Israel. You shall send a man from each tribe of their fathers,—a1l of them nobles. Moses consequently sent them

from the Wilderness of Paran by command of the Even-uvruo. All were nobles, chiefs of the children of Israel, and their names were these: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shamua the son of Yikri; Of the tribe of Simeon, Shafat the son of Khori ; I Katzeroth, in }lebrew.—-F. F.

Of the tribe of judah, Kaleb the son of jephunah; Of the tribe of Issakar, Izal the son of joseph; Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun; Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalat the son of Rafna; Of the tribe of Zebulon, Gadial the son of Sodi ; Of the tribe of ]oseph·—the tribe of Manasseh, Gadi the son of Susi; Of the tribe of Dan, Amiel the son of Gamali ; Of the tribe of Assher, Sethor the son of Mikal; Of the tribe of Naphthali, Nahbi the son of Wafsi; Of the tribe of Gad, Ganal the sou of Makri; These were the names of the nobles

whom Moses sent to survey the land, and Moses surnamed Hoshea the son of Nun, ]oshua.1 Zttstruriimts in ily: Spies. Moses then sent them to survey

the land of Canan, and instructed Go up from the south, and ascend to the hills and examine the land, what it is; and what its people are who inhabit it. Their strength, their weakness ;—if they are few or many. And what kind of country it is they live in, whether it is good or bad; and what kind of cities they inhabit; with their camps and fort- resses. Also examine the fertility of the land; if it is watered; if there are trees in it or not; and their size; you must also collect some of the fruit of the country, for it is the time of grape harvest. They therefore went up, to survey

the country from the Wilderness of Tzin to the plain that extends to Khamath. Thus they ascended from the south

as far as Hebron,where resided Akht- man, Shashai, and Thalmai, three children of Anak.’ So they only went as far as the brook Eshkol, and decided to cut. off a single branch of grapes from there, and carried it on a yoke between two. I The Saviour, or Victor.-—F. F. IO II I2 16 18 20 2X 22
