Chapter 4
1
And Jehovah/God spoke
unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2
Take
the sum of the sons of Kohas
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
who enter into the army/host,
to
do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4
This shall be the service of the sons of Kohas
in
the tabernacle of the congregation,
about
the most holy things.
5
And when the camp sets forward,
Aaron
shall come, and his sons,
and
they shall take down the covering veil,
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 snuff-dishes,
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
flesh-hooks, and the shovels, and the basins,
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 Kohas 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 Kohas
in
the tabernacle of the congregation.
16
And to the office of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
pertains
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 what therein is, in the sanctuary,
and
in the vessels thereof.
17
And Jehovah/God spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 18
Cut
you 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 Jehovah/God spoke unto Moses, saying, 22
Take
also the sum of the sons of Gershon,
throughout
the houses of their fathers, by their families; 23
fom
thirty years old and upward until fifty years old
will
you number them;
all
who 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 what 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
you 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,
you
will number them after their families,
by
the house of their fathers; 30
from
thirty years old and upward
even
unto fifty years old
will
you number them,
every
one who enters 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 you 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 who enters into the service,
for
the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
36
And those who 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
who might do service
in
the tabernacle of the congregation,
which
Moses and Aaron did number
according
to the commandment of Jehovah/God
by
the hand of Moses.
38
And those who 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 who enters into the service,
for
the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
40
Even those who 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 who might do service
in
the tabernacle of the congregation,
whom
Moses and Aaron did number
according
to the commandment of Jehovah/God.
42
And those who 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 who enters into the service,
for
the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 44
even
those who were numbered of them after their families,
were
three thousand and two hundred.
45
These be those who were numbered
of
the families of the sons of Merari,
whom
Moses and Aaron numbered
according
to the word of Jehovah/God
by
the hand of Moses.
46
All those who 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 who came to do the service of the ministry,
and
the service of the burden
in
the tabernacle of the congregation, 48
even
those who were numbered of them,
were
eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.
49
According to the commandment of Jehovah/God
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
Jehovah/God commanded Moses.
