44These are the ones who were numbered, whom Moses and
Aaron numbered, with the leaders of
45So all who were numbered of the children of
46all who were numbered were six hundred and three
thousand five hundred and fifty.
47But the Levites were not numbered among them by their
fathers' tribe;
48for the LORD had spoken to Moses, saying:
49"Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number,
nor take a census of them among the children of
50but you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle
of the Testimony, over all its furnishings, and over all things that belong to
it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they shall attend
to it and camp around the tabernacle.
51And when the tabernacle is to go forward, the Levites
shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall
set it up. The outsider who comes near shall be put to death.
52The children of
53but the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the
Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of

of the standard of the forces with

of Issachar."
6And his army was numbered at fifty-four thousand four
hundred.
7"Then comes the tribe of Zebulun, and Eliab the
son of Helon shall be the leader of the children of Zebulun."
8And his army was numbered at fifty-seven thousand
four hundred.
9"All who were numbered according to their armies

hundred--these shall break camp first.
10"On the south side shall be the standard of the

15And his army was numbered at forty-five thousand six
hundred and fifty.
16"All who were numbered according to their armies
of the forces with Reuben, one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and
fifty--they shall be the second to break camp.
17"And the tabernacle of meeting shall move out
with the camp of the Levites in the middle of the camps; as they camp, so they
shall move out, everyone in his place, by their standards.
18"On the west side shall be the standard of the
forces with Ephraim according to their armies, and the leader of the children

with their standards."
32These are the ones who were numbered of the children
of
33But the Levites were not numbered among the children
of
34Thus the children of
3Now these are the records of Aaron
and Moses when the LORD spoke with Moses on
2And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab,
the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the
anointed priests, whom he consecrated to minister as priests.
4Nadab and Abihu had died before the LORD when they
offered profane fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai; and they had
no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the presence of
Aaron their father.
5And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
6"Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them
before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him.
7And they shall attend to his needs and the needs of
the whole congregation before the tabernacle of meeting, to do the work of the
tabernacle.
8Also they shall attend to all the furnishings of the
tabernacle of meeting, and to the needs of the children of
9And you shall give the Levites to Aaron and his sons;
they are given entirely to him from among the children of
10So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they
shall attend to their priesthood; but the outsider who comes near shall be put
to death."
11Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
12"Now behold, I Myself have taken the Levites
from among the children of
13because all the firstborn are Mine. On the day that I
struck all the firstborn in the
14Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of
Sinai, saying:
15"Number the children of Levi by their fathers'
houses, by their families; you shall number every male from a month old and
above."
16So Moses numbered them according to the word of the
LORD, as he was commanded.
17These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon,
Kohath, and Merari.
18And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by
their families: Libni and Shimei.
19And the sons of Kohath by their families: Amram,
Izehar,
20And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and
Mushi. These are the families of the Levites by their fathers' houses.
21From Gershon came the family of the Libnites and the
family of the Shimites; these were the families of the Gershonites.
22Those who were numbered, according to the number of
all the males from a month old and above--of those who were numbered there were
seven thousand five hundred.
23The families of the Gershonites were to camp behind
the tabernacle westward.
24And the leader of the father's house of the Gershonites
was Eliasaph the son of Lael.
25The duties of the children of Gershon in the
tabernacle of meeting included the tabernacle, the tent with its covering, the
screen for the door of the tabernacle of meeting,
26the screen for the door of the court, the hangings of
the court which are around the tabernacle and the altar, and their cords,
according to all the work relating to them.
27From Kohath came the family of the Amramites, the
family of the Izharites, the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the
Uzzielites; these were the families of the Kohathites.
28According to the number of all the males, from a
month old and above, there were eight thousand six hundred keeping charge of
the sanctuary.
29The families of the children of Kohath were to camp
on the south side of the tabernacle.
30And the leader of the fathers' house of the families
of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
31Their duty included the ark, the table, the
lampstand, the altars, the utensils of the sanctuary with which they
ministered, the screen, and all the work relating to them.
32And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest was to be
chief over the leaders of the Levites, with oversight of those who kept charge
of the sanctuary.
33From Merari came the family of the Mahlites and the
family of the Mushites; these were the families of Merari.
34And those who were numbered, according to the number
of all the males from a month old and above, were six thousand two hundred.
35The leader of the fathers' house of the families of
Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. These were to camp on the north side of
the tabernacle.
36And the appointed duty of the children of Merari
included the boards of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, its
utensils, all the work relating to them,
37and the pillars of the court all around, with their
sockets, their pegs, and their cords.
38Moreover those who were to camp before the tabernacle
on the east, before the tabernacle of meeting, were Moses, Aaron, and his sons,
keeping charge of the sanctuary, to meet the needs of the children of Israel;
but the outsider who came near was to be put to death.
39All who 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 above, were twenty-two thousand.
40Then the LORD said to Moses: "Number all the
firstborn males of the children of
41And you shall take the Levites for Me--I am the
LORD--instead of all the firstborn among the children of
42So Moses numbered all the firstborn among the
children of
43And all the firstborn males, according to the number
of names from a month old and above, of those who were numbered of them, were
twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
44Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
45"Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn
among the children of
46And for the redemption of the two hundred and
seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of
47you shall take five shekels for each one
individually; you shall take them in the currency of the shekel of the
sanctuary, the shekel of twenty gerahs.
48And you shall give the money, with which the excess
number of them is redeemed, to Aaron and his sons."
49So Moses took the redemption money from those who
were over and above those who were redeemed by the Levites.
50From the firstborn of the children of
51And Moses gave their redemption money to Aaron and
his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4Then the LORD spoke to Moses and
Aaron, saying:
2"Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among
the children of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' house,
3from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old,
all who enter the service to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting.
4"This is the service of the sons of Kohath in
the tabernacle of meeting, relating to the most holy things:
5When the camp prepares to journey, Aaron and his sons
shall come, and they shall take down the covering veil and cover the ark of the
Testimony with it.
6Then they shall put on it a covering of badger skins,
and spread over that a cloth entirely of blue; and they shall insert its poles.
7"On the table of showbread they shall spread a
blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the pans, the bowls, and the pitchers for
pouring; and the showbread shall be on it.
8They shall spread over them a scarlet cloth, and cover
the same with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its poles.
9And they shall take a blue cloth and cover the
lampstand of the light, with its lamps, its wick-trimmers, its trays, and all
its oil vessels, with which they service it.
10Then they shall put it with all its utensils in a
covering of badger skins, and put it on a carrying beam.
11"Over the golden altar they shall spread a blue
cloth, and cover it with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its
poles.
12Then they shall take all the utensils of service with
which they minister in the sanctuary, put them in a blue cloth, cover them with
a covering of badger skins, and put them on a carrying beam.
13Also they shall take away the ashes from the altar,
and spread a purple cloth over it.
14They shall put on it all its implements with which
they minister there--the firepans, the forks, the shovels, the basins, and all
the utensils of the altar--and they shall spread on it a covering of badger
skins, and insert its poles.
15And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering
the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is set to
go, then the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them; but they shall not touch
any holy thing, lest they die. "These are the things in the tabernacle of
meeting which the sons of Kohath are to carry.
16"The appointed duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron
the priest is the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the daily grain
offering, the anointing oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle, of all that
is in it, with the sanctuary and its furnishings."
17Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
18"Do not cut off the tribe of the families of the
Kohathites from among the Levites;
19but do this in regard to them, that they may live and
not die when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in
and appoint each of them to his service and his task.
20But they shall not go in to watch while the holy
things are being covered, lest they die."
21Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
22"Also take a census of the sons of Gershon, by
their fathers' house, by their families.
23From thirty years old and above, even to fifty years
old, you shall number them, all who enter to perform the service, to do the
work in the tabernacle of meeting.
24This is the service of the families of the
Gershonites, in serving and carrying:
25They shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and
the tabernacle of meeting with its covering, the covering of badger skins that
is on it, the screen for the door of the tabernacle of meeting,
26the screen for the door of the gate of the court, the
hangings of the court which are around the tabernacle and altar, and their
cords, all the furnishings for their service and all that is made for these
things: so shall they serve.
27"Aaron and his sons shall assign all the service
of the sons of the Gershonites, all their tasks and all their service. And you
shall appoint to them all their tasks as their duty.
28This is the service of the families of the sons of
Gershon in the tabernacle of meeting. And their duties shall be under the
authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29"As for the sons of Merari, you shall number
them by their families and by their fathers' house.
30From thirty years old and above, even to fifty years
old, you shall number them, everyone who enters the service to do the work of
the tabernacle of meeting.
31And this is what they must carry as all their service
for the tabernacle of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, its bars, its
pillars, its sockets,
32and the pillars around the court with their sockets,
pegs, and cords, with all their furnishings and all their service; and you
shall assign to each man by name the items he must carry.
33This is the service of the families of the sons of
Merari, as all their service for the tabernacle of meeting, under the authority
of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."
34And Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation
numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families and by their fathers'
house,
35from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years
old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting;
36and those who were numbered by their families were
two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
37These were the ones who were numbered of the families
of the Kohathites, all who might serve in the tabernacle of meeting, whom Moses
and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of
Moses.
38And those who were numbered of the sons of Gershon,
by their families and by their fathers' house,
39from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years
old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting--
40those who were numbered by their families, by their
fathers' house, were two thousand six hundred and thirty.
41These are the ones who were numbered of the families
of the sons of Gershon, of all who might serve in the tabernacle of meeting,
whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD.
42Those of the families of the sons of Merari who were
numbered, by their families, by their fathers' house,
43from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years
old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting--
44those who were numbered by their families were three
thousand two hundred.
45These are the ones who 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.
46All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses,
Aaron, and the leaders of
47from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years
old, everyone who came to do the work of service and the work of bearing
burdens in the tabernacle of meeting--
48those who were numbered were eight thousand five
hundred and eighty.
49According to the commandment of the LORD they were
numbered by the hand of Moses, each according to his service and according to
his task; thus were they numbered by him, as the LORD commanded Moses.
5And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
2"Command the children of
3You shall put out both male and female; you shall put
them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camps in the midst of
which I dwell."
4And the children of
5Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6"Speak to the children of
7then he shall confess the sin which he has committed.
He shall make restitution for his trespass in full, plus one-fifth of it, and
give it to the one he has wronged.
8But if the man has no relative to whom restitution
may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong must go to the LORD
for the priest, in addition to the ram of the atonement with which atonement is
made for him.
9Every offering of all the holy things of the children
of
10And every man's holy things shall be his; whatever
any man gives the priest shall be his."'
11And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12"Speak to the children of
13and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden
from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled herself,
and there was no witness against her, nor was she caught--
14if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he
becomes jealous of his wife, who has defiled herself; or if the spirit of
jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, although she has
not defiled herself--
15then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. He
shall bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley
meal; he shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a
grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing iniquity
to remembrance.
16"And the priest shall bring her near, and set
her before the LORD.
17The priest shall take holy water in an earthen
vessel, and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and
put it into the water.
18Then the priest shall stand the woman before the
LORD, uncover the woman's head, and put the offering for remembering in her
hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And the priest shall have in
his hand the bitter water that brings a curse.
19And the priest shall put her under oath, and say to
the woman, "If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone astray
to uncleanness while under your husband's authority, be free from this bitter
water that brings a curse.
20But if you have gone astray while under your
husband's authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than
your husband has lain with you"--
21then the priest shall put the woman under the oath of
the curse, and he shall say to the woman--"the LORD make you a curse and
an oath among your people, when the LORD makes your thigh rot and your belly swell;
22and may this water that causes the curse go into your
stomach, and make your belly swell and your thigh rot." "Then the
woman shall say, "Amen, so be it."
23"Then the priest shall write these curses in a
book, and he shall scrape them off into the bitter water.
24And he shall make the woman drink the bitter water
that brings a curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her to
become bitter.
25Then the priest shall take the grain offering of
jealousy from the woman's hand, shall wave the offering before the LORD, and
bring it to the altar;
26and the priest shall take a handful of the offering,
as its memorial portion, burn it on the altar, and afterward make the woman
drink the water.
27When he has made her drink the water, then it shall
be, if she has defiled herself and behaved unfaithfully toward her husband,
that the water that brings a curse will enter her and become bitter, and her
belly will swell, her thigh will rot, and the woman will become a curse among
her people.
28But if the woman has not defiled herself, and is
clean, then she shall be free and may conceive children.
29"This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, while
under her husband's authority, goes astray and defiles herself,
30or when the spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and
he becomes jealous of his wife; then he shall stand the woman before the LORD,
and the priest shall execute all this law upon her.
31Then the man shall be free from iniquity, but that
woman shall bear her guilt."'
6Then the LORD spoke to Moses,
saying,
2"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to
them: "When either a man or woman consecrates an offering to take the vow
of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,
3he shall separate himself from wine and similar
drink; he shall drink neither vinegar made from wine nor vinegar made from
similar drink; neither shall he drink any grape juice, nor eat fresh grapes or
raisins.
4All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing
that is produced by the grapevine, from seed to skin.
5"All the days of the vow of his separation no
razor shall come upon his head; until the days are fulfilled for which he
separated himself to the LORD, he shall be holy. Then he shall let the locks of
the hair of his head grow.
6All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he
shall not go near a dead body.
7He shall not make himself unclean even for his father
or his mother, for his brother or his sister, when they die, because his
separation to God is on his head.
8All the days of his separation he shall be holy to
the LORD.
9"And if anyone dies very suddenly beside him,
and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of
his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it.
10Then on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves
or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting;
11and the priest shall offer one as a sin offering and
the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned in
regard to the corpse; and he shall sanctify his head that same day.
12He shall consecrate to the LORD the days of his
separation, and bring a male lamb in its first year as a trespass offering; but
the former days shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
13"Now this is the law of the Nazirite: When the
days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the
tabernacle of meeting.
14And he shall present his offering to the LORD: one
male lamb in its first year without blemish as a burnt offering, one ewe lamb
in its first year without blemish as a sin offering, one ram without blemish as
a peace offering,
15a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour
mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their grain offering
with their drink offerings.
16"Then the priest shall bring them before the
LORD and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering;
17and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of a peace
offering to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall
also offer its grain offering and its drink offering.
18Then the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at
the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and shall take the hair from his
consecrated head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the
peace offering.
19"And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder
of the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and
put them upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated
hair,
20and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering
before the LORD; they are holy for the priest, together with the breast of the
wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering. After that the Nazirite may
drink wine.'
21"This is the law of the Nazirite who vows to the
LORD the offering for his separation, and besides that, whatever else his hand
is able to provide; according to the vow which he takes, so he must do
according to the law of his separation."
22And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
23"Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, "This
is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
24"The LORD bless you and keep you;
25The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be
gracious to you;
26The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give
you peace."'
27"So they shall put My name on the children of
Israel, and I will bless them."
7Now it came to pass, when Moses had
finished setting up the tabernacle, that he anointed it and consecrated it and
all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils; so he anointed them
and consecrated them.
2Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their
fathers' houses, who were the leaders of the tribes and over those who were
numbered, made an offering.
3And they brought their offering before the LORD, six
covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders, and for
each one an ox; and they presented them before the tabernacle.
4Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
5"Accept these from them, that they may be used
in doing the work of the tabernacle of meeting; and you shall give them to the
Levites, to every man according to his service."
6So Moses took the carts and the oxen, and gave them
to the Levites.
7Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of
Gershon, according to their service;
8and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of
Merari, according to their service, under the authority of Ithamar the son of
Aaron the priest.
9But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because
theirs was the service of the holy things, which they carried on their
shoulders.
10Now the leaders offered the dedication offering for
the altar when it was anointed; so the leaders offered their offering before
the altar.
11For the LORD said to Moses, "They shall offer
their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar."
