and one he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.

but ye shall offer a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah: one bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish;
4
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:

7
And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses.
8
And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded.
9
When a man voweth a vow unto Jehovah, or sweareth an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
10
Also when a woman voweth a vow unto Jehovah, and bindeth herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in her youth,
11
and her father heareth her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
12
But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and Jehovah will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
13
And if she be
14
married to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul,
15
and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he heareth it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
16
But if her husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it, then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul: and Jehovah will forgive her.
17
But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced,
18
even everything wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her.
19
And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,
20
and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
21
But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and Jehovah will forgive her.
22
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
23
But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he hath established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
24
But if he shall make them null and void after that he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.
25
These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.
26
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
27
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
28
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Jehovah’s vengeance on Midian.
29
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.

2
Præcipe filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Cum ingressi fueritis Terram Chanaan, et in possessionem vobis sorte ceciderit, his finibus terminabitur.
3
Pars meridiana incipiet a solitudine Sin, quæ est iuxta Edom: et habebit terminos contra Orientem mare salsissimum.
4
qui circuibunt australem plagam per ascensum Scorpionis, ita ut transeant in Senna, et perveniant a meridie usque ad Cadesbarne, unde egredientur confinia ad villam nomine Adar, et tendent usque ad Asemona.
5
ibitque per gyrum terminus ab Asemona usque ad Torrentem Ægypti, et maris magni littore finietur.
6
Plaga autem occidentalis a mari magno incipiet, et ipso fine claudetur.
7
Porro ad septentrionalem plagam a mari magno termini incipient, pervenientes usque ad montem altissimum,
8
a quo venient in Emath usque ad terminos Sedada:
9
ibuntque confinia usque ad Zephrona, et villam Enan. hi erunt termini in parte Aquilonis.
10
Inde metabuntur fines contra orientalem plagam de villa Enan usque Sephama,
11
et de Sephama descendent termini in Rebla contra fontem Daphnim: inde pervenient contra Orientem ad mare Cenereth,
12
et tendent usque ad Iordanem, et ad ultimum salsissimo claudentur mari. Hanc habebitis Terram per fines suos in circuitu.
13
Præcepitque Moyses filiis Israel, dicens: Hæc erit Terra, quam possidebitis sorte, et quam iussit Dominus dari novem tribubus, et dimidiæ tribui.
14
Tribus enim filiorum Ruben per familias suas, et tribus filiorum Gad iuxta cognationum numerum, media quoque tribus Manasse,

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
