English Standard Version
14 In the morning therefore you shall be brought near (A)by your tribes. And the tribe that the Lord takes by lot shall come near by clans. And the clan that the Lord takes shall come near by households. And the household that the Lord takes shall come near man by man. 15 (B)And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has (C)transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he has done (D)an outrageous thing in Israel.’”
