Book 04 Numbers Chapter 003

 

003:001These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day
that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

 

003:002And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the
firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

 

003:003These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which
were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's
office.

 

003:004And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered
strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and
they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in
the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.

 

003:005And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

003:006Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron
the priest, that they may minister unto him.

 

003:007And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole
congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do
the service of the tabernacle.

 

003:008And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to
do the service of the tabernacle.

 

003:009And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons:
they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.

 

003:010And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait
on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh
shall be put to death.

 

003:011And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

003:012And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the
children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth
the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites
shall be mine;

 

003:013Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I
smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto
me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall
they be: I am the LORD.

 

003:014And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,
saying,

 

003:015Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers,
by their families: every male from a month old and upward
shalt thou number them.

 

003:016And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as
he was commanded.

 

003:017And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and
Kohath, and Merari.

 

003:018And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their
families; Libni, and Shimei.

 

003:019And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar,
Hebron, and Uzziel.

 

003:020And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi.
These are the families of the Levites according to the house
of their fathers.

 

003:021Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of
the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

 

003:022Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of
all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that
were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

 

003:023The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the
tabernacle westward.

 

003:024And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites
shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

 

003:025And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the
congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the
covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation,

 

003:026And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of
the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round
about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

 

003:027And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family
of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the
family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the
Kohathites.

 

003:028In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward,
were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the
sanctuary.

 

003:029The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of
the tabernacle southward.

 

003:030And the chief of the house of the father of the families of
the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

 

003:031And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the
candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary
wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service
thereof.

 

003:032And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over
the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that
keep the charge of the sanctuary.

 

003:033Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of
the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.

 

003:034And those that were numbered of them, according to the number
of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six
thousand and two hundred.

 

003:035And the chief of the house of the father of the families of
Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the
side of the tabernacle northward.

 

003:036And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall
be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the
pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels
thereof, and all that serveth thereto,

 

003:037And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets,
and their pins, and their cords.

 

003:038But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east,
even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall
be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the
sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the
stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

 

003:039All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron
numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their
families, all the males from a month old and upward, were
twenty and two thousand.

 

003:040And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the
males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward,
and take the number of their names.

 

003:041And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) 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.

 

003:042And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the
firstborn among the children of Israel.

 

003:043And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a
month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them,
were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and
thirteen.

 

003:044And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

003:045Take 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 the LORD.

 

003:046And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and
threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of
Israel, which are more than the Levites;

 

003:047Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after
the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel
is twenty gerahs:)

 

003:048And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of
them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

 

003:049And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and
above them that were redeemed by the Levites:

 

003:050Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money;
a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels,
after the shekel of the sanctuary:

 

003:051And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron
and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the
LORD commanded Moses.
