2. "Among the Levites take a total of the Kohathites, by clans and ancestral houses, all the men of the Kohathites

|
|
10. The lampstand with all its utensils they shall then enclose in a covering of tahash skin, and place on a litter.
|
10. And they shall put H5414 it and all H3605 the vessels H3627 thereof within H413 a covering H4372 of badgers H8476 ' skins H5785 , and shall put H5414 it upon H5921 a bar H4132 .

|
|
14. On this they shall put all the utensils with which it is served: the fire pans, forks, shovels, basins, and all the utensils of the altar. They shall then spread a covering of tahash skin over this, and put the poles in place.
|
14.

|
|
15. "Only after Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sacred objects and all their utensils on breaking camp, shall the Kohathites enter to carry them. But they shall not touch the sacred objects; if they do they will die. These, then, are the objects in the meeting tent that the Kohathites shall carry.
|
15. And when Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 have made an end H3615 of covering H3680 H853 the sanctuary H6944 , and all H3605 the vessels H3627 of the sanctuary H6944 , as the camp H4264 is to set forward H5265 ; after H310 that H3651 , the sons H1121 of Kohath H6955 shall come H935 to bear H5375 it : but they shall not H3808 touch H5060 H413 any holy thing H6944 , lest they die H4191 . These H428 things are the burden H4853 of the sons H1121 of Kohath H6955 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 .
|
|
16. "Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, shall be in charge of the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the established cereal offering, and the anointing oil. He shall be in charge of the whole Dwelling with all the sacred objects and utensils that are in it."
|
16. And to the office H6486 of Eleazar H499 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 pertaineth the oil H8081 for the light H3974 , and the sweet H5561 incense H7004 , and the daily H8548 meat offering H4503 , and the anointing H4888 oil H8081 , and the oversight H6486 of all H3605 the tabernacle H4908 , and of all H3605 that H834 therein is , in the sanctuary H6944 , and in the vessels H3627 thereof.
|
|
17. The LORD said to Moses and Aaron:
|
17. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 and unto H413 Aaron H175 , saying H559 ,
|
|
18. "Do not let the group of Kohathite clans perish from the body of the Levites.
|
18. Cut ye not off H3772 H408 H853 the tribe H7626 of the families H4940 of the Kohathites H6956 from among H4480 H8432 the Levites H3881 :
|
|
19. That they may live and not die when they approach the most sacred objects, this is what you shall do for them: Aaron and his sons shall go in and assign to each of them his task and what he must carry;
|
19. But thus H2063 do H6213 unto them , that they may live H2421 , and not H3808 die H4191 , when they approach H5066 H853 unto the most holy things H6944 H6944 : Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 shall go in H935 , and appoint H7760 them every one H376 H376 to H5921 his service H5656 and to H413 his burden H4853 :
|
|
20. but the Kohathites shall not go in to look upon the sacred objects, even for an instant; if they do, they will die."
|
20. But they shall not H3808 go in H935 to see H7200 when H853 the holy things H6944 are covered H1104 , lest they die H4191 .
|
|
21. The LORD said to Moses,
|
21. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
22. "Take a total among the Gershonites also, by ancestral houses and clans,
|
22. Take H5375 also H1571 H853 the sum H7218 of the sons H1121 of Gershon H1648 , throughout the houses H1004 of their fathers H1 , by their families H4940 ;
|
|
23. of all the men between thirty and fifty years of age; these are to undertake obligatory tasks in the meeting tent.
|
23. From thirty H7970 years H8141 old H4480 H1121 and upward H4605 until H5704 fifty H2572 years H8141 old H1121 shalt thou number H6485 them; all H3605 that enter in H935 to perform H6633 the service H5656 , to do H5647 the work H5656 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 .
|
|
24. This is the task of the clans of the Gershonites, what they must do and what they must carry:
|
24. This H2063 is the service H5656 of the families H4940 of the Gershonites H1649 , to serve H5647 , and for burdens H4853 :
|
|
25. they shall carry the sheets of the Dwelling, the meeting tent with its covering and the outer wrapping of tahash skin, the curtain at the entrance of the meeting tent,
|
25. And they shall bear H5375 H853 the curtains H3407 of the tabernacle H4908 , and the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , his covering H4372 , and the covering H4372 of the badgers' skins H8476 that H834 is above H4480 H4605 upon H5921 it , and the hanging H4539 for the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 ,
|
|
26. the hangings of the court, the curtain at the entrance of the court that encloses both the Dwelling and the altar, together with their ropes and all other objects necessary in their use. Whatever is to be done with these things shall be their task.
|
26. And the hangings H7050 of the court H2691 , and the hanging H4539 for the door H6607 of the gate H8179 of the court H2691 , which H834 is by H5921 the tabernacle H4908 and by H5921 the altar H4196 round about H5439 , and their cords H4340 , and all H3605 the instruments H3627 of their service H5656 , and all H3605 that H834 is made H6213 for them : so shall they serve H5647 .
|
|
27. The service of the Gershonites shall be entirely under the direction of Aaron and his sons, with regard to what they must do and what they must carry; you shall make each man of them responsible for what he is to carry.
|
27. At H5921 the appointment H6310 of Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 shall be H1961 all H3605 the service H5656 of the sons H1121 of the Gershonites H1649 , in all H3605 their burdens H4853 , and in all H3605 their service H5656 : and ye shall appoint H6485 unto H5921 them in charge H4931 H853 all H3605 their burdens H4853 .
|
|
28. This, then, is the task of the Gershonites in the meeting tent; and they shall be under the supervision of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
|
28. This H2063 is the service H5656 of the families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Gershon H1649 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 : and their charge H4931 shall be under the hand H3027 of Ithamar H385 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 .
|
|
29. "Among the Merarites, too, you shall enroll by clans and ancestral houses
|
29. As for the sons H1121 of Merari H4847 , thou shalt number H6485 them after their families H4940 , by the house H1004 of their fathers H1 ;
|
|
30. all their men between thirty and fifty years of age; these are to undertake obligatory tasks in the meeting tent.
|
30. From thirty H7970 years H8141 old H4480 H1121 and upward H4605 even unto H5704 fifty H2572 years H8141 old H1121 shalt thou number H6485 them , every one H3605 that entereth H935 into the service H6635 , to do H5647 H853 the work H5656 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 .
|
|
31. This is what they shall be responsible for carrying, all the years of their service in the meeting tent: the boards of the Dwelling with its bars, columns and pedestals,
|
31. And this H2063 is the charge H4931 of their burden H4853 , according to all H3605 their service H5656 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 ; the boards H7175 of the tabernacle H4908 , and the bars H1280 thereof , and the pillars H5982 thereof , and sockets H134 thereof,
|
|
32. and the columns of the surrounding court with their pedestals, pegs and ropes. You shall designate for each man of them all the objects connected with his service, which he shall be responsible for carrying.
|
32. And the pillars H5982 of the court H2691 round about H5439 , and their sockets H134 , and their pins H3489 , and their cords H4340 , with all H3605 their instruments H3627 , and with all H3605 their service H5656 : and by name H8034 ye shall reckon H6485 H853 the instruments H3627 of the charge H4931 of their burden H4853 .
|
|
33. This, then, is the task of the clans of the Merarites during all their service in the meeting tent under the supervision of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest."
|
33. This H2063 is the service H5656 of the families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Merari H4847 , according to all H3605 their service H5656 , in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , under the hand H3027 of Ithamar H385 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 .
|
|
34. So Moses and Aaron and the princes of the community made a registration among the Kohathites, by clans and ancestral houses,
|
34. And Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 and the chief H5387 of the congregation H5712 numbered H6485 H853 the sons H1121 of the Kohathites H6956 after their families H4940 , and after the house H1004 of their fathers H1 ,
|
|
35. of all the men between thirty and fifty years of age. These were to undertake obligatory tasks in the meeting tent;
|
35. From thirty H7970 years H8141 old H4480 H1121 and upward H4605 even unto H5704 fifty H2572 years H8141 old H1121 , every one H3605 that entereth H935 into the service H6635 , for the work H5656 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 :
|
|
36. as registered by clans, they numbered two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
|
36. And those that were numbered H6485 of them by their families H4940 were H1961 two thousand H505 seven H7651 hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 .
|
|
37. Such was the census of all the men of the Kohathite clans who were to serve in the meeting tent, which Moses took, together with Aaron, as the LORD bade him.
|
37. These H428 were they that were numbered H6485 of the families H4940 of the Kohathites H6956 , all H3605 that might do service H5647 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , which H834 Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 did number H6485 according to H5921 the commandment H6310 of the LORD H3068 by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 .
|
|
38. The registration was then made among the Gershonites, by clans and ancestral houses,
|
38. And those that were numbered H6485 of the sons H1121 of Gershon H1648 , throughout their families H4940 , and by the house H1004 of their fathers H1 ,
|
|
39. of all the men between thirty and fifty years of age. These were to undertake obligatory tasks in the meeting tent;
|
39. From thirty H7970 years H8141 old H4480 H1121 and upward H4605 even unto H5704 fifty H2572 years H8141 old H1121 , every one H3605 that entereth H935 into the service H6635 , for the work H5656 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 ,
|
|
40. as registered by clans and ancestral houses, they numbered two thousand six hundred and thirty.
|
40. Even those that were numbered H6485 of them , throughout their families H4940 , by the house H1004 of their fathers H1 , were H1961 two thousand H505 and six H8337 hundred H3967 and thirty H7970 .
|
|
41. Such was the census of all the men of the Gershonite clans who were to serve in the meeting tent, which Moses took, together with Aaron, at the LORD'S bidding.
|
41. These H428 are they that were numbered H6485 of the families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Gershon H1648 , of all H3605 that might do service H5647 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , whom H834 Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 did number H6485 according to H5921 the commandment H6310 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
42. Then the registration was made among the Merarites, by clans and ancestral houses,
|
42. And those that were numbered H6485 of the families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Merari H4847 , throughout their families H4940 , by the house H1004 of their fathers H1 ,
|
|
43. of all the men from thirty up to fifty years of age. These were to undertake obligatory tasks in the meeting tent;
|
43. From thirty H7970 years H8141 old H4480 H1121 and upward H4605 even unto H5704 fifty H2572 years H8141 old H1121 , every one H3605 that entereth H935 into the service H6635 , for the work H5656 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 ,
|
|
44. as registered by clans, they numbered three thousand two hundred.
|
44. Even those that were numbered H6485 of them after their families H4940 , were H1961 three H7969 thousand H505 and two hundred H3967 .
|
|
45. Such was the census of the men of the Merarite clans which Moses took, together with Aaron, as the LORD bade him.
|
45. These H428 be those that were numbered H6485 of the families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Merari H4847 , whom H834 Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 numbered H6485 according to H5921 the word H6310 of the LORD H3068 by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 .
|
|
46. Therefore, when Moses and Aaron and the Israelites princes had completed the registration among the Levites, by clans and ancestral houses,
|
46. All H3605 those that were numbered H6485 H853 of the Levites H3881 , whom H834 Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 and the chief H5387 of Israel H3478 numbered H6485 , after their families H4940 , and after the house H1004 of their fathers H1 ,
|
|
47. of all the men between thirty and fifty years of age who were to undertake tasks of service or transport of the meeting tent,
|
47. From thirty H7970 years H8141 old H4480 H1121 and upward H4605 even unto H5704 fifty H2572 years H8141 old H1121 , every one H3605 that came H935 to do H5647 the service H5656 of the ministry H5656 , and the service H5656 of the burden H4853 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 ,
|
|
48. the total number registered was eight thousand five hundred and eighty.
|
48. Even those that were numbered H6485 of them, were H1961 eight H8083 thousand H505 and five H2568 hundred H3967 and fourscore H8084 .
|
|
49. According to the LORD'S bidding to Moses, they gave them their individual assignments for service and for transport; so the LORD had commanded Moses.
|
49. According to H5921 the commandment H6310 of the LORD H3068 they were numbered H6485 by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 , every one H376 H376 according to H5921 his service H5656 , and according to H5921 his burden H4853 : thus were they numbered H6485 of him, as H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 H853 Moses H4872 .
