Chapter 1
1 The Census of Israel's Warriors
Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514, in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, on the first 259 of the second 8145 month, in the second 8145 year 8141 after they had come 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, saying 559,
2 "Take 5375 a census 7218 of all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, by their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004, according to the number 4557 of names 8034, every 3605 male 2145, head 1538 by head 1538
3 from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, whoever 3605 {is able to} go 3318 out to war 6635 in Israel 3478, you and Aaron 175 shall number 6485 them by their armies 6635.
4 "With you, moreover, there shall be a man 376 of each 376 tribe 4294, each 376 one 376 head 7218 of his father's 1 household 1004.
5 "These 428 then are the names 8034 of the men 376 who 834 shall stand 5975 with you: of Reuben 7205, Elizur 468 the son 1121 of Shedeur 7707;
6 of Simeon 8095, Shelumiel 8017 the son 1121 of Zurishaddai 6701;
7 of Judah 3063, Nahshon 5177 the son 1121 of Amminadab 5992;
8 of Issachar 3485, Nethanel 5417 the son 1121 of Zuar 6686;
9 of Zebulun 2074, Eliab 446 the son 1121 of Helon 2497;
10 of the sons 1121 of Joseph 3130: of Ephraim 669, Elishama 476 the son 1121 of Ammihud 5989; of Manasseh 4519, Gamaliel 1583 the son 1121 of Pedahzur 6301;
11 of Benjamin 1144, Abidan 27 the son 1121 of Gideoni 1441;
12 of Dan 1835, Ahiezer 295 the son 1121 of Ammishaddai 5996;
13 of Asher 836, Pagiel 6295 the son 1121 of Ochran 5918;
14 of Gad 1410, Eliasaph 460 the son 1121 of Deuel 1845;
15 of Naphtali 5321, Ahira 299 the son 1121 of Enan 5881.
16 "These 428 are they who 7148 were called 7148 of the congregation 5712, the leaders 5387 of their fathers' 1 tribes 4294; they were the heads 7218 of divisions 505 of Israel 3478."
17 ¶ So Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 took 3947 these 428 men 376 who 834 had been designated 5344 by name 8034,
18 and they assembled 6950 all 3605 the congregation 5712 together on the first 259 of the second 8145 month 2320. Then they registered 3205 by ancestry 3205 in their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004, according to the number 4557 of names 8034, from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, head 1538 by head 1538,
19 just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872. So he numbered 6485 them in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514.
20 ¶ Now the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205, Israel's 3478 firstborn 1060, their genealogical 8435 registration 8435 by their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004, according to the number 4557 of names 8034, head 1538 by head 1538, every 3605 male 2145 from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, whoever 3605 {was able to} go 3318 out to war 6635,

46 even all 3605 the numbered 6485 men were 603,550.
47 Levites Exempted
¶ The Levites 3881, however, were not numbered 6485 among 8432 them by their fathers' 1 tribe 4294.
48 For the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
49 "Only 389 the tribe 4294 of Levi 3878 you shall not number 6485, nor 3808 shall you take 5375 their census 7218 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
50 "But you shall appoint 6485 the Levites 3881 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908 of the testimony 5715, and over 5921 all 3605 its furnishings 3627 and over 5921 all 3605 that belongs to it. They shall carry 5375 the tabernacle 4908 and all 3605 its furnishings 3627, and they shall take 8334 care 8334 of it; they shall also camp 2583 around 5439 the tabernacle 4908.
51 "So when the tabernacle 4908 is to set 5265 out, the Levites 3881 shall take 3381 it down 3381; and when the tabernacle 4908 encamps 2583, the Levites 3881 shall set 6965 it up. But the layman 2114 who comes 7131 near 7131 shall be put 4191 to death 4191.
52 "The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall camp 2583, each 376 man 376 by his own camp 4264, and each 376 man 376 by his own standard 1714, according to their armies 6635.
53 "But the Levites 3881 shall camp 2583 around 5439 the tabernacle 4908 of the testimony 5715, so that there will be no 3808 wrath 7110 on the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478. So the Levites 3881 shall keep 8104 charge 4931 of the tabernacle 4908 of the testimony 5715."
54 Thus the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213; according to all 3605 which 834 the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872, so 3651 they did 6213.
Chapter 2
1 Arrangement of the Camps
Now the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 and to Aaron 175, saying 559,
2 "The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall camp 2583, each 376 by his own standard 1714, with the banners 226 of their fathers' 1 households 1004; they shall camp 2583 around 5439 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 at a distance.
3 "Now those who camp 2583 on the east 6924 side 6924 toward the sunrise 4217 {shall be} of the standard 1714 of the camp 4264 of Judah 3063, by their armies 6635, and the leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Judah 3063: Nahshon 5177 the son 1121 of Amminadab 5992,

10 ¶ "On the south 8486 side 8486 {shall be} the standard 1714 of the camp 4264 of Reuben 7205 by their armies 6635, and the leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205: Elizur 468 the son 1121 of Shedeur 7707,
11 and his army 6635, even their numbered 6485 men, 46,500.
12 "Those who camp 2583 next 5921 to him {shall be} the tribe 4294 of Simeon 8095, and the leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Simeon 8095: Shelumiel 8017 the son 1121 of Zurishaddai 6701,
13 and his army 6635, even their numbered 6485 men, 59,300.
14 "Then {comes} the tribe 4294 of Gad 1410, and the leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Gad 1410: Eliasaph 460 the son 1121 of Deuel 1845,
15 and his army 6635, even their numbered 6485 men, 45,650.
16 "The total 3605 of the numbered 6485 men of the camp 4264 of Reuben 7205: 151,450 by their armies 6635. And they shall set 5265 out second 8145.
17 ¶ "Then the tent 168 of meeting 4150 shall set 5265 out {with} the camp 4264 of the Levites 3881 in the midst 8432 of the camps 4264; just 3512 as they camp 2583, so 3651 they shall set 5265 out, every 376 man 376 in his place 3027 by their standards 1714.
18 ¶ "On the west 3220 side 3220 {shall be} the standard 1714 of the camp 4264 of Ephraim 669 by their armies 6635, and the leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Ephraim 669 {shall be} Elishama 476 the son 1121 of Ammihud 5989,

20 "Next 5921 to him {shall be} the tribe 4294 of Manasseh 4519, and the leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519: Gamaliel 1583 the son 1121 of Pedahzur 6301,
21 and his army 6635, even their numbered 6485 men, 32,200.
22 "Then {comes} the tribe 4294 of Benjamin 1144, and the leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Benjamin 1144: Abidan 27 the son 1121 of Gideoni 1441,
23 and his army 6635, even their numbered 6485 men, 35,400.
24 "The total 3605 of the numbered 6485 men of the camp 4264 of Ephraim 669: 108,100, by their armies 6635. And they shall set 5265 out third 7992.
25 ¶ "On the north 6828 side 6828 {shall be} the standard 1714 of the camp 4264 of Dan 1835 by their armies 6635, and the leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Dan 1835: Ahiezer 295 the son 1121 of Ammishaddai 5996,

29 "Then {comes} the tribe 4294 of Naphtali 5321, and the leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Naphtali 5321: Ahira 299 the son 1121 of Enan 5881,
30 and his army 6635, even their numbered 6485 men, 53,400.
31 "The total 3605 of the numbered 6485 men of the camp 4264 of Dan 1835 {was} 157,600. They shall set 5265 out last 314 by their standards 1714."
32 ¶ These 428 are the numbered 6485 men of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 by their fathers' 1 households 1004; the total 3605 of the numbered 6485 men of the camps 4264 by their armies 6635, 603,550.
33 The Levites 3881, however, were not numbered 6485 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
34 Thus the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213; according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 Moses 4872, so 3651 they camped 2583 by their standards 1714, and so 3651 they set 5265 out, every 376 one 376 by his family 4940 according 5921 to his father's 1 household 1004.
Chapter 3
1 Levites to Be Priesthood
Now these 428 are {the records of} the generations 8435 of Aaron 175 and Moses 4872 at the time 3117 when the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 with Moses 4872 on Mount 2022 Sinai 5514.
2 These 428 then are the names 8034 of the sons 1121 of Aaron 175: Nadab 5070 the firstborn 1060, and Abihu 30, Eleazar 499 and Ithamar 385.
3 These 428 are the names 8034 of the sons 1121 of Aaron 175, the anointed 4886 priests 3548, whom 834 he ordained to serve 3547 as priests 3547.
4 But Nadab 5070 and Abihu 30 died 4191 before 6440 the LORD 3068 when they offered 7126 strange 2114 fire 784 before 6440 the LORD 3068 in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514; and they had 1961 no 3808 children 1121. So Eleazar 499 and Ithamar 385 served 3547 as priests 3547 in the lifetime 6440 of their father 1 Aaron 175.
5 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
6 "Bring 7126 the tribe 4294 of Levi 3878 near 7126 and set 5975 them before 6440 Aaron 175 the priest 3548, that they may serve 8334 him.
7 "They shall perform 8104 the duties 4931 for him and for the whole 3605 congregation 5712 before 6440 the tent 168 of meeting 4150, to do 5647 the service 5656 of the tabernacle 4908.
8 "They shall also keep 8104 all 3605 the furnishings 3627 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, along with the duties 4931 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, to do 5647 the service 5656 of the tabernacle 4908.
9 "You shall thus give 5414 the Levites 3881 to Aaron 175 and to his sons 1121; they are wholly 5414 given 5414 to him from among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
10 "So you shall appoint 6485 Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 that they may keep 8104 their priesthood 3550, but the layman 2114 who comes 7131 near 7131 shall be put 4191 to death 4191."
11 ¶ Again the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
12 "Now, behold 2009, I have taken 3947 the Levites 3881 from among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 instead 8478 of every 3605 firstborn 1060, the first 6363 issue 6363 of the womb 7358 among 4480 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478. So the Levites 3881 shall be Mine.
13 "For all 3605 the firstborn 1060 are Mine; on the day 3117 that I struck 5221 down 5221 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, I sanctified 6942 to Myself all 3605 the firstborn 1060 in Israel 3478, from man 120 to beast 929. They shall be Mine; I am the LORD 3068."
14 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514, saying 559,
15 "Number 6485 the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 by their fathers' 1 households 1004, by their families 4940; every 3605 male 2145 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605 you shall number 6485."
16 So Moses 4872 numbered 6485 them according 5921 to the word 6310 of the LORD 3068, just 3512 as he had been commanded 6680.
17 These 428 then are the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 by their names 8034: Gershon 1648 and Kohath 6955 and Merari 4847.
18 These 428 are the names 8034 of the sons 1121 of Gershon 1648 by their families 4940: Libni 3845 and Shimei 8096;
19 and the sons 1121 of Kohath 6955 by their families 4940: Amram 6019 and Izhar 3324, Hebron 2275 and Uzziel 5816;
20 and the sons 1121 of Merari 4847 by their families 4940: Mahli 4249 and Mushi 4187. These 428 are the families 4940 of the Levites 3881 according to their fathers' 1 households 1004.
21 ¶ Of Gershon 1648 {was} the family 4940 of the Libnites 3846 and the family 4940 of the Shimeites 8097; these 428 {were} the families 4940 of the Gershonites 1649.
22 Their numbered 6485 men, in the numbering 4557 of every 3605 male 2145 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, {even} their numbered 6485 men {were} 7,500.
23 The families 4940 of the Gershonites 1649 were to camp 2583 behind 310 the tabernacle 4908 westward 3220,
24 and the leader 5387 of the fathers' 1 households 1004 of the Gershonites 1649 {was} Eliasaph 460 the son 1121 of Lael 3815.
25 Duties of the Priests
Now the duties 4931 of the sons 1121 of Gershon 1648 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150 {involved} the tabernacle 4908 and the tent 168, its covering 4372, and the screen 4539 for the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150,
26 and the hangings 7050 of the court 2691, and the screen 4539 for the doorway 6607 of the court 2691 which 834 is around 5439 the tabernacle 4908 and the altar 4196, and its cords 4340, according to all 3605 the service 5656 concerning them.
27 ¶ Of Kohath 6955 {was} the family 4940 of the Amramites 6020 and the family 4940 of the Izharites 3325 and the family 4940 of the Hebronites 2276 and the family 4940 of the Uzzielites 5817; these 428 were the families 4940 of the Kohathites 6956.
28 In the numbering 4557 of every 3605 male 2145 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, {there were} 8,600, performing 8104 the duties 4931 of the sanctuary 6944.
29 The families 4940 of the sons 1121 of Kohath 6955 were to camp 2583 on the southward 8486 side 3409 of the tabernacle 4908,
30 and the leader 5387 of the fathers' 1 households 1004 of the Kohathite 6956 families 4940 was Elizaphan 469 the son 1121 of Uzziel 5816.
31 Now their duties 4931 {involved} the ark 727, the table 7979, the lampstand 4501, the altars 4196, and the utensils 3627 of the sanctuary 6944 with which 834 they minister 8334, and the screen 4539, and all 3605 the service 5656 concerning them;
32 and Eleazar 499 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548 {was} the chief 5387 of the leaders 5387 of Levi 3878, {and had} the oversight 6486 of those who perform 8104 the duties 4931 of the sanctuary 6944.
33 ¶ Of Merari 4847 {was} the family 4940 of the Mahlites 4250 and the family 4940 of the Mushites 4188; these 428 {were} the families 4940 of Merari 4847.
34 Their numbered 6485 men in the numbering 4557 of every 3605 male 2145 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, {were} 6,200.
35 The leader 5387 of the fathers' 1 households 1004 of the families 4940 of Merari 4847 {was} Zuriel 6700 the son 1121 of Abihail 32. They {were} to camp 2583 on the northward 6828 side 3409 of the tabernacle 4908.
36 Now the appointed 6486 duties 4931 of the sons 1121 of Merari 4847 {involved} the frames 7175 of the tabernacle 4908, its bars 1280, its pillars 5982, its sockets 134, all 3605 its equipment 3627, and the service 5656 concerning them,
37 and the pillars 5982 around 5439 the court 2691 with their sockets 134 and their pegs 3489 and their cords 4340.
38 ¶ Now those who were to camp 2583 before 6440 the tabernacle 4908 eastward 6924, before 6440 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 toward the sunrise 4217, are Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and his sons 1121, performing 8104 the duties 4931 of the sanctuary 4720 for the obligation 4931 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; but the layman 2114 coming 7131 near 7131 was to be put 4191 to death 4191.
39 All 3605 the numbered 6485 men of the Levites 3881, whom 834 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 numbered 6485 at the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 by their families 4940, every 3605 male 2145 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, {were} 22,000.
40 Firstborn Redeemed
¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Number 6485 every 3605 firstborn 1060 male 2145 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, and make 5375 a list 4557 of their names 8034.
41 "You shall take 3947 the Levites 3881 for Me, I am the LORD 3068, instead 8478 of all 3605 the firstborn 1060 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and the cattle 929 of the Levites 3881 instead 8478 of all 3605 the firstborn 1060 among the cattle 929 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478."
42 So Moses 4872 numbered 6485 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 him;
43 and all 3605 the firstborn 1060 males 2145 by the number 4557 of names 8034 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, for their numbered 6485 men were 22,273.
44 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
45 "Take 3947 the Levites 3881 instead 8478 of all 3605 the firstborn 1060 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and the cattle 929 of the Levites 3881. And the Levites 3881 shall be Mine; I am the LORD 3068.
46 "For the ransom 6299 of the 273 of the firstborn 1060 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 who are in excess 5736 beyond 5921 the Levites 3881,
47 you shall take 3947 five 2568 shekels 8255 apiece 2568, per head 1538; you shall take 3947 {them} in terms of the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944 (the shekel 8255 is twenty 6242 gerahs 1626),
48 and give 5414 the money 3701, the ransom 6302 of those who are in excess 5736 among them, to Aaron 175 and to his sons 1121."
49 So Moses 4872 took 3947 the ransom 6302 money 3701 from those who were in excess 5736, beyond 5921 those ransomed 6299 by the Levites 3881;
50 from the firstborn 1060 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 he took 3947 the money 3701 in terms of the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944, 1,365.
51 Then Moses 4872 gave 5414 the ransom 6299 money 3701 to Aaron 175 and to his sons 1121, at the command 6310 of the LORD 3068, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
Chapter 4
1 Duties of the Kohathites
Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 and to Aaron 175, saying 559,
2 "Take 5375 a census 7218 of the descendants 1121 of Kohath 6955 from among 8432 the sons 1121 of Levi 3878, by their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004,
3 from thirty 7970 years 8141 and upward 4605, even to fifty 2572 years 8141 old 1121, all 3605 who enter 935 the service 6635 to do 6213 the work 4399 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
4 "This 2088 is the work 5656 of the descendants 1121 of Kohath 6955 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, {concerning} the most 6944 holy 6944 things 6944.
5 ¶ "When the camp 4264 sets 5265 out, Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 shall go 935 in and they shall take 3381 down 3381 the veil 6532 of the screen 4539 and cover 3680 the ark 727 of the testimony 5715 with it;
6 and they shall lay 5414 a covering 3681 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785 on it, and shall spread 6566 over 4605 {it} a cloth 899 of pure 3632 blue 8504, and shall insert 7760 its poles 905.
7 "Over 5921 the table 7979 of the bread of the Presence 6440 they shall also spread 6566 a cloth 899 of blue 8504 and put 5414 on it the dishes 7086 and the pans 3709 and the sacrificial 4518 bowls 4518 and the jars 7184 for the drink 5262 offering 5262, and the continual 8548 bread 3899 shall be on it.
8 "They shall spread 6566 over 5921 them a cloth 899 of scarlet 8144 {material,} and cover 3680 the same 853 with a covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785, and they shall insert 7760 its poles 905.
9 "Then they shall take 3947 a blue 8504 cloth 899 and cover 3680 the lampstand 4501 for the light 3974, along with its lamps 5216 and its snuffers 4457, and its trays 4289 and all 3605 its oil 8081 vessels 3627, by which 834 they serve 8334 it;
10 and they shall put 5414 it and all 3605 its utensils 3627 in a covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785, and shall put 5414 it on the carrying 4132 bars 4132.
11 "Over 5921 the golden 2091 altar 4196 they shall spread 6566 a blue 8504 cloth 899 and cover 3680 it with a covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785, and shall insert 7760 its poles 905;
12 and they shall take 3947 all 3605 the utensils 3627 of service 8335, with which 834 they serve 8334 in the sanctuary 6944, and put 5414 them in a blue 8504 cloth 899 and cover 3680 them with a covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785, and put 5414 them on the carrying 4132 bars 4132.
13 "Then they shall take 1878 away 1878 the ashes 1878 from the altar 4196, and spread 6566 a purple 713 cloth 899 over 5921 it.
14 "They shall also put 5414 on it all 3605 its utensils 3627 by which 834 they serve 8334 in connection 5921 with it: the firepans 4289, the forks 4207 and shovels 3257 and the basins 4219, all 3605 the utensils 3627 of the altar 4196; and they shall spread 6566 a cover 3681 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785 over 5921 it and insert 7760 its poles 905.
15 "When Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 have finished 3615 covering 3680 the holy 6944 {objects} and all 3605 the furnishings 3627 of the sanctuary 6944, when the camp 4264 is to set 5265 out, after 310 that the sons 1121 of Kohath 6955 shall come 935 to carry 5375 {them,} so that they will not touch 5060 the holy 6944 {objects} and die 4191. These 428 are the things 4853 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150 which the sons 1121 of Kohath 6955 are to carry 4853.
16 ¶ "The responsibility 6486 of Eleazar 499 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548 is the oil 8081 for the light 3974 and the fragrant 5561 incense 7004 and the continual 8548 grain offering 4503 and the anointing 4888 oil 8081--the responsibility 6486 of all 3605 the tabernacle 4908 and of all 3605 that is in it, with the sanctuary 6944 and its furnishings 3627."
17 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 and to Aaron 175, saying 559,
18 "Do not let the tribe 7626 of the families 4940 of the Kohathites 6956 be cut 3772 off 3772 from among 8432 the Levites 3881.
19 "But do 6213 this 2088 to them that they may live 2421 and not die 4191 when they approach 5066 the most 6944 holy 6944 {objects:} Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 shall go 935 in and assign 7760 each 376 of them to his work 5656 and to his load 4853;
20 but they shall not go 935 in to see 7200 the holy 6944 {objects} even for a moment 1104, or they will die 4191."
21 Duties of the Gershonites
¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
22 "Take 5375 a census 7218 of the sons 1121 of Gershon 1648 also 1571, by their fathers' 1 households 1004, by their families 4940;
23 from thirty 7970 years 8141 and upward 4605 to fifty 2572 years 8141 old 1121, you shall number 6485 them; all 3605 who enter 935 to perform 6633 the service 6635 to do 5647 the work 5656 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
24 "This 2088 is the service 5656 of the families 4940 of the Gershonites 1649, in serving 5647 and in carrying 4853:
25 they shall carry 5375 the curtains 3407 of the tabernacle 4908 and the tent 168 of meeting 4150 {with} its covering 4372 and the covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skin 8476 that is on top 4605 of it, and the screen 4539 for the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150,
26 and the hangings 7050 of the court 2691, and the screen 4539 for the doorway 6607 of the gate 8179 of the court 2691 which 834 is around 5439 the tabernacle 4908 and the altar 4196, and their cords 4340 and all 3605 the equipment 3627 for their service 5656; and all 3605 that is to be done 6213, they shall perform 5647.
27 "All 3605 the service 5656 of the sons 1121 of the Gershonites 1649, in all 3605 their loads 4853 and in all 3605 their work 5656, shall be {performed} at the command 6310 of Aaron 175 and his sons 1121; and you shall assign 6485 to them as a duty 4931 all 3605 their loads 4853.
28 "This 2088 is the service 5656 of the families 4940 of the sons 1121 of the Gershonites 1649 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and their duties 4931 {shall be} under the direction 3027 of Ithamar 385 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548.
29 Duties of the Merarites
¶ "{As for} the sons 1121 of Merari 4847, you shall number 6485 them by their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004;
30 from thirty 7970 years 8141 and upward 4605 even to fifty 2572 years 8141 old 1121, you shall number 6485 them, everyone 3605 who enters 935 the service 6635 to do 5647 the work 5656 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
31 "Now this 2088 is the duty 4931 of their loads 4853, for all 3605 their service 5656 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150: the boards 7175 of the tabernacle 4908 and its bars 1280 and its pillars 5982 and its sockets 134,
32 and the pillars 5982 around 5439 the court 2691 and their sockets 134 and their pegs 3489 and their cords 4340, with all 3605 their equipment 3627 and with all 3605 their service 5656; and you shall assign 6485 {each man} by name 8034 the items 3627 he is to carry 4853.
33 "This 2088 is the service 5656 of the families 4940 of the sons 1121 of Merari 4847, according to all 3605 their service 5656 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, under the direction 3027 of Ithamar 385 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548."
34 ¶ So Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and the leaders 5387 of the congregation 5712 numbered 6485 the sons 1121 of the Kohathites 6956 by their families 4940 and by their fathers' 1 households 1004,

37 These 428 are the numbered 6485 men of the Kohathite 6956 families 4940, everyone 3605 who was serving 5647 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, whom 834 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 numbered 6485 according 5921 to the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068 through 3027 Moses 4872.
38 ¶ The numbered 6485 men of the sons 1121 of Gershon 1648 by their families 4940 and by their fathers' 1 households 1004,

40 Their numbered 6485 men by their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004, were 2,630.
41 These 428 are the numbered 6485 men of the families 4940 of the sons 1121 of Gershon 1648, everyone 3605 who was serving 5647 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, whom 834 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 numbered 6485 according 5921 to the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068.
42 ¶ The numbered 6485 men of the families 4940 of the sons 1121 of Merari 4847 by their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004,

46 ¶ All 3605 the numbered 6485 men of the Levites 3881, whom 834 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and the leaders 5387 of Israel 3478 numbered 6485, by their families 4940 and by their fathers' 1 households 1004,

Chapter 5
1 On Defilement
Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Command 6680 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 that they send 7971 away 7971 from the camp 4264 every 3605 leper 6879 and everyone 3605 having a discharge 2100 and everyone 3605 who is unclean 2931 because of a {dead} person 5315.
3 "You shall send 7971 away 7971 both 4480 male 2145 and female 5347; you shall send 7971 them outside the camp 4264 so that they will not defile 2930 their camp 4264 where 834 I dwell 7931 in their midst 8432."
4 The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 so 3651 and sent 7971 them outside the camp 4264; just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to Moses 4872, thus 3651 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213.
5 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
6 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, 'When 3588 a man 376 or 176 woman 802 commits 6213 any of the sins 2403 of mankind 120, acting 4603 unfaithfully 4604 against the LORD 3068, and that person 5315 is guilty 816,
7 then he shall confess 3034 his sins 2403 which 834 he has committed 6213, and he shall make 7725 restitution 7725 in full 7218 for his wrong 817 and add 3254 to it one-fifth 2549 of it, and give 5414 {it} to him whom 834 he has wronged 816.
8 'But if 518 the man 376 has 369 no 369 relative 1350 to whom restitution 7725 may be made 7725 for the wrong 817, the restitution 7725 which is made 7725 for the wrong 817 {must go} to the LORD 3068 for the priest 3548, besides the ram 352 of atonement 3725, by which 834 atonement 3722 is made 3722 for him.
9 'Also every 3605 contribution 8641 pertaining to all 3605 the holy 6944 {gifts} of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, which 834 they offer 7126 to the priest 3548, shall be his.
10 'So every 376 man's 376 holy 6944 {gifts} shall be his; whatever 834 any 376 man 376 gives 5414 to the priest 3548, it becomes 1961 his.'"
