Book 04 Numbers Chapter 004

 

004:001And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

 

004:002Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of
Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,

 

004:003From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old,
all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle
of the congregation.

 

004:004This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the
tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:

 

004:005And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his
sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover
the ark of testimony with it:

 

004:006And 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.

 

004:007And 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:

 

004:008And 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.

 

004:009And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick
of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his
snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister unto it:

 

004:010And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a
covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.

 

004:011And 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:

 

004:012And 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:

 

004:013And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread
a purple cloth thereon:

 

004:014And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith
they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and
the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and
they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and
put to the staves of it.

 

004:015And 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 Kohath 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 Kohath in the
tabernacle of the congregation.

 

004:016And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
pertaineth 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 that therein is,
in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.

 

004:017And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,

 

004:018Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites
from among the Levites:

 

004:019But 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:

 

004:020But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are
covered, lest they die.

 

004:021And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

004:022Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the
houses of their fathers, by their families;

 

004:023From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt
thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to
do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

 

004:024This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to
serve, and for burdens:

 

004:025And 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,

 

004:026And 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 that is made for them: so shall they
serve.

 

004:027At 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 ye shall appoint unto them in
charge all their burdens.

 

004:028This 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.

 

004:029As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their
families, by the house of their fathers;

 

004:030From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old
shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the
service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.

 

004:031And 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,

 

004:032And 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 ye shall reckon the
instruments of the charge of their burden.

 

004:033This 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.

 

004:034And 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,

 

004:035From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation:

 

004:036And those that were numbered of them by their families were
two thousand seven hundred and fifty.

 

004:037These were they that were numbered of the families of the
Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the
congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to
the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

 

004:038And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon,
throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,

 

004:039From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation,

 

004:040Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their
families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and
six hundred and thirty.

 

004:041These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons
of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of
the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to
the commandment of the LORD.

 

004:042And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of
Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their
fathers,

 

004:043From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation,

 

004:044Even those that were numbered of them after their families,
were three thousand and two hundred.

 

004:045These be those that 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.

 

004:046All those that 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,

 

004:047From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the
service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation.

 

004:048Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and
five hundred and fourscore,

 

004:049According to the commandment of the LORD 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
the LORD commanded Moses.
