Take the sum of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, every male, according to their polls;

3

from twenty years and upward, all that go forth to military service in Israel: ye shall number them according to their hosts, thou and Aaron.

4

And with you there shall be a man for every tribe, a man who is the head of his father's house.

5

And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: for Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;

46

all they that were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.

47

But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

48

For Jehovah had spoken to Moses, saying,

49

Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel.

50

But thou, appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels; and they shall serve it, and round about the tabernacle shall they encamp;

51

and when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle encampeth, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.

52

And the children of Israel shall encamp every man in his camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their hosts;

53

but the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there come not wrath upon the assembly of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

And the children of Israel did so; according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did they.

33

But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

And the children of Israel did according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses: so they encamped according to their standards, and so they journeyed, every one according to their families, according to their fathers' houses.

12

And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;

for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.

14

And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, according to their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.

40

And Jehovah said to 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.

41

And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) 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.

And Moses numbered, as Jehovah had commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

43

And all the firstborn males, by the number of the names, from a month old and upward, according to their numbering, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.

44

And Jehovah spoke to 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 Jehovah.

46

48

and thou shalt give the money unto Aaron and unto his sons for those in excess among them who are to be ransomed.

50

of the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, a thousand three hundred and sixty-five [shekels], according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, according to their fathers' houses,

3

from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.

4

This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting: it is most holy.

5

And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall take down the veil of separation and cover the ark of testimony with it;

6

and shall put thereon a covering of badgers' skin, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put its staves [to it].

7

And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue; and put thereon the dishes, and the cups, and the bowls, and goblets of the drink-offering; and the continual bread shall be thereon.

8

And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put its staves [to it].

And when Aaron and his sons have ended covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp setteth forward, then afterwards the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it; but they shall not touch the holy things, lest they die. This is what the sons of Kohath have to carry in the tent of meeting.

And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall have the oversight of the oil for the light, and the fragrant incense, and the continual oblation, and the anointing oil, -- the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and of all that is therein, over the sanctuary, and over its furniture.

17

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

18

Ye shall not cut off the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites,

19

but this shall ye do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they draw near 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 and see for a moment the holy things, lest they die.

21

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

22

Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, according to their fathers' houses, after their families.

26

and the hangings of the court, and the curtain of the entrance, of the gate of the court, which surroundeth the tabernacle and the altar, and the cords thereof, and all the instruments of their service; and all that is to be done for these things shall they perform.

At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their carrying, and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their carrying.
