Numbers Chapter 3

1 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the
LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and
Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were
anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange
fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no
children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in
the sight of Aaron their father.

5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the
priest, that they may minister unto him.

7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole
congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the
service of the tabernacle.

8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the
service of the tabernacle.

9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are
wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.

10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on
their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to
death.

11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of
Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the
children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;

13 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all
the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn
in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.

14 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by
their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number
them.

16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was
commanded.

17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath,
and Merari.

18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families;
Libni, and Shimei.

19 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron,
and Uzziel.

20 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are
the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.

21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the
Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the
males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of
them were seven thousand and five hundred.

23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle
westward.

24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be
Eliasaph the son of Lael.

25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the
congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering
thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the
court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the
cords of it for all the service thereof.

27 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the
Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the
Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

28 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were
eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the
tabernacle southward.

30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the
Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the
candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith
they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.

32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief
of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of
the sanctuary.

33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the
Mushites: these are the families of Merari.

34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all
the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.

35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari
was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the
tabernacle northward.

36 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the
boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof,
and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that
serveth thereto,

37 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and
their pins, and their cords.

38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even
before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and
Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge
of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be
put to death.

39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered
at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males
from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

40 And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males
of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the
number of their names.

41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all
the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the
Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children
of Israel.

42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn
among the children of Israel.

43 And all the firstborn males by 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.

44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of
Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the
Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD.

46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and
threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel,
which are more than the Levites;

47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the
shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)

48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to
be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above
them that were redeemed by the Levites:

50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a
thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel
of the sanctuary:

51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to
his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Numbers Chapter 4

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after
their families, by the house of their fathers,

3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that
enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of
the congregation, about the most holy things:

5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and
they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony
with it:

6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread
over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.

7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and
put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to
cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:

8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same
with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.

9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the
light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the
oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:

10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering
of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.

11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and
cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves
thereof:

12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they
minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover
them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar:

13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a
purple cloth thereon:

14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels,
and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon
it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.

15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the
sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set
forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they
shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the
burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.

16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth
the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat
offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the
tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the
vessels thereof.

17 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among
the Levites:

19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they
approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and
appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:

20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered,
lest they die.

21 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of
their fathers, by their families;

23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou
number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in
the tabernacle of the congregation.

24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and
for burdens:

25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the
tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the
badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation,

26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging 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
all that is made for them: so shall they serve.

27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of
the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their
service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.

28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the
tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand
of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their
families, by the house of their fathers;

30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou
number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of
the tabernacle of the congregation.

31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their
service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the
tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets
thereof,

32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and
their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all
their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge
of their burden.

33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according
to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the
hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

34 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the
sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of
their fathers,

35 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one
that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation:

36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two
thousand seven hundred and fifty.

37 These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites,
all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which
Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD by
the hand of Moses.

38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their
families, and by the house of their fathers,

39 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one
that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation,

40 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by
the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.

41 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of
Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the
congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the
commandment of the LORD.

42 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari,
throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,

43 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one
that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation,

44 Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were
three thousand and two hundred.

45 These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of
Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD
by the hand of Moses.

46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and
the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house
of their fathers,

47 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one
that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the
burden in the tabernacle of the congregation,

48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five
hundred and fourscore.

49 According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the
hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his
burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses.
