27And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites: 28according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, eight thousand and six hun- dred, keepers of the charge of the sanctuary. 29The families of the sons of Kohath were to pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward; 30the prince of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites being Elizaphan the son of Uzziel, ^and their charge the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith the priests min- ister, and the screen, and all that per- taineth to the service thereof; ^Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest being prince of the princes of the Levites, and hav- ing the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
^Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mu- shites; these are the families of Merari. MAnd those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and up- NUMBERS ward, were six thousand and two hun- dred; ^he prince of the fathers' house of the families of Merari being Zuriel the son of Abihail; they were to pitch on the side of the tabernacle north- ward; 86the appointed charge of the sons of Merari being the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the instruments there- of, and all that pertameth to the serv- ice thereof; 37and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and then* cords. 38And those that were to pitch before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunnsing, were Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keep- ing the charge of the sanctuary, even the charge for the children of Israel; and the common man that drew nigh was to be put to death. 39A11 that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
40And the LORD said unto Moses. 'Number all the first-born males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names 41And thou shalt take the Levites for Me, even the LORD, instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the first- lings among the cattle of the children of Israel ' ^And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel. ^And all the first-born males according to the number of names, from a month, old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
44And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: ^'Take the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Le- vites shall be Mine, even the LORD'S. 46And as for the redemption of the two hundred and threescore and thir- teen of the first-born of the children of Iwrael, that are over and above the number of the Levites, 47thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them — the shekel is twenty gerahs. 48And thou shalt give the money wherewith they that re- main over of them are redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons/ 49And Moses took the redemption-money from them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites; 60from the first-born of the children of Israel took he the money a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanc- tuary. ftlAnd Moses gave the re- demption-money unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
A And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: 2'Takethe sum of the sons of Kohath from among the song of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houbes, ^lom thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter upon the service, to do work in the tent of meeting. 4This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, about the most holy things: Vhen the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the ^screen, a,nd cover the ark of the testimony with it; 6and shall put thereon a covering of sealskin, NUMBERS and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall set the staves thereof. 7And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the pans, and the bowls, and the jars where- with to pour out; and the continual bread shall remain thereon. 8And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall set the staves thereof. 9And they shall take a cloth of 'blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, where- with they minister unto it. 10And they shaft put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon a bar. uAnd upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall set the staves thereof. ^And^they shall take all the vessels of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanc- tuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on a bar, 18And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon. 14And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, where- with they minister about it, the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of sealskin, and set the staves thereof. 16And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the holy furniture, and all the holy vessels, as the camp is to set forward — after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear them; but they shall not touch the holy things, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of I Kohath in the tent of meeting. 16Anci the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaror the priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the continual meal-offering, and the anoint^ ing oil: he shall have the charge of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, whether it be the sanctu- ary, or the furniture thereof.'
17And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: 18'Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites; 19but thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they ap- proach -unto the most holy ^thingb: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden; 20but they shall not go in to see the holy things as they are being covered, lest they die.'
21And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: ^'Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families; ^ rom thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them: all that enter ^in to wait upon the service, to do service in the tent of meeting. MThis is the service of the families of the Gershon- ites, in serving and in bearing burdens ^hey shall bear the curtains of ihe tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of seal- skin that is above upon it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meet- ing; ^and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatsoever there may be to do with them, therein shall they serve. 27At the commandment of Aaron and his NUMBERS sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burden. 28This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting; and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them by their families, by their fathers' houses; 30from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth upon the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting. 31And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars there- of, and the sockets thereof; ^and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and then: cords, even all their appurte- nance, and all that pertaineth to their service; and by name ye shall ap- point the instruments of the charge of their burden^ $ ^This is the serv- ice of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.'
MAnd Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers' houses, 33from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for service in the tent of meeting. 86And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 37These are they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, of all that did serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered accord- ing to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
38And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their families, and by their fathers' houses, 89from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for service in the tent of meeting, 40even those that were numbered of them, by their families, by their fathers' houses, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty. 41These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that did serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD.
^And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Mera- ri, by their families, by their fathers' houses, ^rom thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the serv- ice, for service in the tent of meeting, ^even those that were numbered of them by their families, were three thousand and two hundred. 45These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered accord- ing to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
^All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, by their families, and by their fa- thers' houses, 47from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to do the work of service^ and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of meet- ing, 48even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and NUMBERS five hundred and fourscore. ^Accord- ing to the commandment of the LORD they were appointed by the hand of Moses, every one to his service, and to his burden; they were also numbered, as the LORD commanded Moses.
K And the LORD spoke unto Moses, ^ saying: v Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is un- clean by the dead; 3both male' and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camp, in the midst whereof I dwell.' 4And the children of Israel did so, and put them out with- out the camp; as the LORD spoke unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 6Speak unto the children of Israel: When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to commit a trespass against the LORD, and that soul be guilty; 'then they shall con- fess their sin which they have done, and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add unto it the fif tli part thereof, and give it unto him in respect of whom he hath been guilty. 8But if the man have no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made shall, be the LORD'S, even the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, whereby atonement shall be made for him. 9And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his. l°And every man's hal- lowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
nAnd the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 12Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: If any man's wife go aside, and act unfaithfully against him, 13and a'ntan lie with her carnaUy, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, she being defiled secretly, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken in the act; 14and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled; ^hen shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankin- cense thereon; for it is a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of memo- rial, bringing iniquity to remem- brance. 16And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD. 17And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the taber- nacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water. "And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and let the hair of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal-offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal-offering of jealousy; and the priest shall have hi his hand the water of bitterness that causeth the curse. 19And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman: 'If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to un- cleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from this water of bitter- ness that causeth the curse; *°but if thou hast gone aside, being under thv NUMBERS husband, and if thou be denied, and some man have lain with thee be- sides thy husband— 21then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman — the LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy belly to swell; ^and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to fall away'; and the woman shall say: 'Amen, Amen.' ^And the priest shall write these curses in a scroll, and he shall blot them out into the water of bit- terness. ^And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter. 25And the priest shall take the meal-offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal-offering be- fore the LORD, and bring it unto the altar. 26And the priest shall take a handful of the meal-offering, as the memorial-part thereof, and make it smoke upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. 27 And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have acted unfaithfully against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away; and the woman shall be a curse among her people. ^And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean: then she shall be cleared, and shall conceive seed. 29This is the law of jealousy, when, a wife, being under her husband, goeth aside, and is defiled; ^or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he be jealous over his wife; then shall he set the faoman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law. 81And the man shall be clear from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.
g And the LORD spoke unto Moses, u saying: 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them- When either man or woman shall clearly utter a vow, the vow of a Nazir- ite, to consecrate himself unto the LORD, 3he shall abstain from wine and strong drink: he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. 4AU the days of his Nazrriteship shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the pressed grapes even to the grape-stone. 6A11 the days of his vow of Nazinteohip there shall no razor come upon his head; until the days be fulfilled, hi which he consecrat- eth himself unto the LORD, he shall be^holy, he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long. 6A11 the days that he consecrateth himself unto the LORD he shall not come near to a dead body. 7He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his consecration unto God is upon his head. 8A11 the days of his Nazirite- ship he is holy unto the LORD. 9And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it. 10And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle- doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting. llAnd the priest shall pro- pare one for a sin-offering, and the NUMBERS other for a burnt-offering, and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead; and he shall hallow his head that same day. 12And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his Naziriteship, and shall bring a he-lamb of the first year for a guilt-offering; but the former days^ shall be void, because his consecration was defiled.
13And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his consecration are fulfilled: he shall flbring it unto the door of the tent of meeting; 14and he shall present his offering unto the LORD, one he-lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt- offering, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin- offering, and one ram without blemish for peace-offerings, 16and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and their meal- offering, and their drink-offerings. ^And the priest shall bring them be- fore the LORD, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering. 17And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall offer also the meal-offering thereof, and the idrink- offering thereof. 18And the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of his consecrated head, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings. 19And the priest shall take the shoulder of the ram when it is sodden, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven his consecrated head. 20And the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before the LORD; this is holy for the priest, together with the breast of waving and the thigh of heaving, and after that the Nazirite may drink wine. ^This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth, and of his offering unto the LORD for his Naziriteship, beside that for which his means suffice; according to his vow which he voweth, so he must do after the law of his Naziriteship.
the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: ^Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying: On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel; ye shall say unto them: wThe LORD bless thee, and keep thee; 25The LORD make His face to shine upon thee, and'be gracious unto thee; 26The LORD lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27So shall they put My name upon the children of Israel, and I wiU bi them/ *7 And it came to pass on the day that Moses had made an end of setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, and all the furni- ture thereof, and the altar and all the vessels thereof^ and had anointed them and sanctified them; ^that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, offered — these were the princes of the tribes, these are they that were over them that were numbered. 3And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen: a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox; and they presented them before the tabernacle. 4And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying* 5<Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tent of meeta That is, bring his consecrated head (come with his consecrated hair unshaven)., 75 NUMBERS ing; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.' 6And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites. 7Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service. 8And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, accord- ing unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 9But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the holy things belonged unto them: they bore them upon their shoulders. 10And the princes brought the dedi- cation-offering of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes brought their offering before the altar. uAnd the LORD said unto Moses* 'They shall present their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar.'
12And he that presented his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Ammmadab, of the tribe of Judah; I3and his offering was one silver dish, the weight thereof was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver basin of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering; ^4one golden pan of ten shekels, full of incense;15one young bul- lock, one ram, one he-lamb of the first year, for a burnt-offering; 16one male of the goats for a sin-off ering; I7and for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year. This was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
X80n the second day Nethanel the son of Zuar, prince of Issachar, did offer: 19he presented for his offering one silver dish, the weight thereof was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver basin of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering; 20one golden pan of ten shekels, full of incense; 21one young bullock, one ram, one he- lamb of the first year, for a burnt- offering; ^one male of the goats for a sin-offering; ^and for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year. This was the offering of Nethanel the son of Zuar.
