Leningrad Codex, through the Open Scriptures Westminster Leningrad Codex. The written consonants are printed. A Masoretic reading is footnoted when it differs. No Dead Sea reading was substituted unless it was read from a fragment. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Greek, Syriac, and Latin versions are witnesses, not the default.

A dotted word is a harder one. Point at it, or tap it, for a short definition.

The written consonants are קרואי, “called.” The Masoretic reading is קריאי, also “called,” with a different vowel letter. The written form is printed. In 1:16 the two spellings stand the other way around. Each verse prints the consonants written there.

10The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and Korah, when the congregation died, when the fire consumed the two hundred and fifty men, and they became a sign.

Notes (1)

Translation
The Hebrew writes six hundred thousand, and one thousand, seven hundred and thirty. That total is printed. Elef is a thousand. The number is not rewritten as a round six hundred thousand, and it is not checked against the tribal lines in order to change either.

52Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

53To these the land shall be divided as an inheritance, by the number of names.

54For the many you shall make the inheritance many, and for the few you shall make the inheritance few. Each shall be given his inheritance according to his numbered men.

55But the land shall be divided by lot. They shall inherit by the names of the tribes of their fathers.

56By the mouth of the lot its inheritance shall be divided, between many and few.

57These are the numbered men of the Levite by their clans: of Gershon, the clan of the Gershonite; of Kohath, the clan of the Kohathite; of Merari, the clan of the Merarite.

58These are the clans of Levi: the clan of the Libnite, the clan of the Hebronite, the clan of the Mahlite, the clan of the Mushite, the clan of the Korahite. Kohath fathered Amram.

59The name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, daughter of Levi, whom she bore to Levi in Egypt. She bore to Amram Aaron, Moses, and Miriam their sister.

Notes (1)

Translation
The verb “she bore” has Jochebed as its subject: she was born to Levi in Egypt, and she bore Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. The line is printed that way.

60To Aaron were born Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

61Nadab and Abihu died when they brought outside fire near before Yahweh.

62Their numbered men were twenty-three thousand, every male from one month old and upward, for they were not numbered in the midst of the sons of Israel, because no inheritance was given them in the midst of the sons of Israel.

Notes (1)

Translation
Twenty-three thousand is the number in this verse. The Levite total in chapter 3 is a different number. Both are printed. Neither is corrected.

63These are those numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho.

64Among these there was not a man of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

65For Yahweh had said of them, They shall die, die in the wilderness. Not a man of them was left, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
