[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, [2] Take the sum of the
sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their
fathers` houses, [3] from thirty years old and upward even until fifty
years old, all who enter on the service, to do the work in the tent of
meeting. [4] This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of
meeting, [about] the most holy things: [5] when the camp sets forward,
Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the
screen, and cover the ark of the testimony with it, [6] and shall put
thereon a covering of sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of
blue, and shall put in the poles of it. [7] On the table of show bread they
shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons,
and the bowls and the cups with which to pour out; and the continual bread
shall be thereon: [8] and they shall spread on them a cloth of scarlet, and
cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in the poles of
it. [9] They shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the lampstand of the
light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, and all the
oil vessels of it, with which they minister to it: [10] and they shall put
it and all the vessels of it within a covering of sealskin, and shall put
it on the frame. [11] On the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of
blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in the poles
of it: [12] and they shall take all the vessels of ministry, with which
they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover
them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame. [13]
They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth
thereon: [14] and they shall put on it all the vessels of it, with which
they minister about it, the fire pans, the flesh-hooks, and the shovels,
and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on it a
covering of sealskin, and put in the poles of it. [15] When Aaron and his
sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of
the sanctuary, as the camp is set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath
shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they
die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of
meeting. [16] The charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be
the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the continual
meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the charge of all the tent, and of
all that therein is, the sanctuary, and the furniture of it. [17] Yahweh
spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, [18] Don`t cut off the tribe of the
families of the Kohathites from among the Levites; [19] but thus do to
them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach to the most holy
things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them everyone to his
service and to his burden; [20] but they shall not go in to see the
sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die. [21] Yahweh spoke to Moses,
saying, [22] Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers`
houses, by their families; [23] from thirty years old and upward until
fifty years old shall you number them; all who enter in to wait on the
service, to do the work in the tent of meeting. [24] This is the service of
the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens: [25]
they shall bear the curtains of the tent, and the tent of meeting, its
covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above on it, and the screen
for the door of the tent of meeting, [26] and the hangings of the court,
and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tent
and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of
their service, and whatever shall be done with them: therein shall they
serve. [27] At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the
service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all
their service; and you shall appoint to them in charge all their burden.
[28] This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in
the tent of meeting: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar
the son of Aaron the priest. [29] As for the sons of Merari, you shall
number them by their families, by their fathers` houses; [30] from thirty
years old and upward even to fifty years old shall you number them,
everyone who enters on the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting.
[31] This is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in
the tent of meeting: the boards of the tent, and the bars of it, and the
pillars of it, and the sockets of it, [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
appoint 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 tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron
the priest. [34] Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation
numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their
fathers` houses, [35] from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years
old, everyone who entered on the service, for work in the tent of meeting:
[36] and those who were numbered of them by their families were two
thousand seven hundred fifty. [37] These are those who were numbered of the
families of the Kohathites, all who did serve in the tent of meeting, whom
Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
[38] Those who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, their families, and by
their fathers` houses, [39] from thirty years old and upward even to fifty
years old, everyone who entered on the service, for work in the tent of
meeting, [40] even those who were numbered of them, by their families, by
their fathers` houses, were two thousand six hundred thirty. [41] These are
those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who did
serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to
the commandment of Yahweh. [42] Those who were numbered of the families of
the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers` houses, [43] from
thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered
on the service, for work in the tent of meeting, [44] even those who were
numbered of them by their families, were three thousand and two hundred.
[45] These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of
Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of
Yahweh by Moses. [46] All those who were numbered of the Levites, whom
Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, by their families, and
by their fathers` houses, [47] from thirty years old and upward even to
fifty years old, everyone who entered in to do the work of service, and the
work of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting, [48] even those who were
numbered of them, were eight thousand five hundred eighty. [49] According
to the commandment of Yahweh they were numbered by Moses, everyone
according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they
numbered of him, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
