Take the full number of the children of Israel, by their families, and by their fathers' houses, every male by name;

All those of twenty years old and over, who are able to go to war in Israel, are to be numbered by you and Aaron.

These are the names of those who are to be your helpers: from Reuben, Elizur, the son of Shedeur;

And Moses and Aaron took these men, marked out by name;

And they got together all the people on the first day of the second month; and everyone made clear his family and his father's house, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and over.

As the Lord had given orders to Moses, so they were numbered by him in the waste place of Sinai.

The generations of the sons of Reuben, the oldest son of Israel, were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over, who was able to go to war;

The generations of the sons of Simeon were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over, who was able to go to war;

The generations of the sons of Gad were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over who was able to go to war;

The generations of the sons of Judah were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over who was able to go to war;

The generations of the sons of Joseph were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over who was able to go to war;

The generations of the sons of Manasseh were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over who was able to go to war;

The generations of the sons of Benjamin were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over who was able to go to war;

The generations of the sons of Dan were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years and over who was able to go to war;

The generations of the sons of Asher were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over who was able to go to war;

The generations of the sons of Naphtali were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over who was able to go to war;

These are they who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and by the twelve chiefs of Israel, one from every tribe.

So all those who were numbered of the children of Israel, by their families, all those of twenty years old and over who were able to go to war,

Only the tribe of Levi is not to be numbered among the children of Israel,

But to them you are to give the care of the Tent of meeting with its vessels and everything in it: they are to take up the Tent, and be responsible for everything to do with it, and put up their tents round it.

And when the Tent of meeting goes forward, the Levites are to take it down; and when it is to be put up, they are to do it: any strange person who comes near it is to be put to death.

But the tents of the Levites are to be round the Tent of meeting, so that wrath may not come on the children of Israel: the Tent of meeting is to be in the care of the Levites.

The children of Israel are to put up their tents in the order of their families, by the flags of their fathers' houses, facing the Tent of meeting on every side.

Those whose tents are on the east side, looking to the dawn, will be round the flag of the children of Judah, with Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, as their chief.

And nearest to him will be the tribe of Issachar, with Nethanel, the son of Zuar, as their chief.

On the west side will be the flag of the children of Ephraim, with Elishama, the son of Ammihud, as their chief.

And by him the tribe of Manasseh with Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, as their chief.

On the north side will be the flag of the children of Dan, with Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, as their chief.

Nearest to him will be the tribe of Asher, with Pagiel, the son of Ochran, as their chief.

The number of all the armies in the tents of Dan was a hundred and fifty-seven thousand, six hundred. They will go forward last, by their flags.

So the children of Israel did as the Lord said to Moses, so they put up their tents by their flags, and they went forward in the same order, by their families, and by their fathers' houses.

Make the tribe of Levi come near, and put them before Aaron the priest, to be his helpers,

In order that they may be responsible to him and to all Israel for the care of the Tent of meeting, and to do the work of the House;

Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.

And give orders that Aaron and his sons are to keep their place as priests; any strange person who comes near is to be put to death.

See, I have taken the Levites out of the children of Israel to be mine in place of the first sons of the children of Israel;

Let all the children of Levi be numbered by their families and their fathers' houses; let every male of a month old and over be numbered.

These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.

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

And the sons of Kohath, by their families: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel.

And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites in the order of their fathers' houses.

The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.

The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.

Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, will be head over all the Levites and overseer of those responsible for the care of the holy place.

The chief of the families of Merari was Zuriel, the son of Abihail: their tents are to be placed on the north side of the House.

And in their care are to be all the boards of the Tent, with their rods and pillars and bases, and all the instruments, and all they are used for,

And those whose tents are to be placed on the east side of the House in front of the Tent of meeting, looking to the dawn, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, who will do the work of the holy place for the children of Israel; and any strange person who comes near will be put to death.

All the Levites numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord, all the males of one month old and over numbered in the order of their families, were twenty-two thousand.

And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of their names.

Every first son from a month old and over was numbered by name, and the number came to twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.

Take the Levites in place of all the first sons of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle; the Levites are to be mine; I am the Lord.

Will be five shekels for every one, by the scale of the holy place (the shekel is twenty gerahs);

And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.

So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;

From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;

Let the sons of Kohath, from among the sons of Levi, be numbered by their families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

And this is to be the work of the sons of Kohath in connection with the most holy things.

And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.

And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.

Do not let the family of the Kohathites be cut off from among the Levites;

But do this to them, so that life and not death may be theirs when they come near the most holy things; let Aaron and his sons go in and give to every one his work and that which he is to take up;

Let the sons of Gershon be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

This is to be the work of the Gershonites, the things they are to do and take up.

This is the work of the family of the Gershonites in the Tent of meeting, and they will be under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

The sons of Merari are to be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

And the pillars of the open space outside it, with their bases and their nails and cords and all the instruments used, and everything which has to be done there; all the instruments for which they are responsible are to be numbered by name.

So Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people took in hand the numbering of the sons of the Kohathites, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

This is the number of those of the Kohathites who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

And those of the sons of Gershon who were numbered by families,

Who were numbered by families in the order of their fathers' houses, were two thousand, six hundred and thirty.

This is the number of the sons of Gershon who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

And those of the sons of Merari who were numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,

Who were numbered by families, were three thousand, two hundred.

This is the number of the sons of Merari, numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

And all the Levites who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,

At the order of the Lord they were numbered by Moses, every one in relation to his work and to his part in the transport; so they were numbered by Moses at the order of the Lord.

Male or female they are to be put outside the tent-circle, so that they may not make unclean my resting-place among them.

But if the man has no relation to whom the payment may be made, then the payment for sin made to the Lord will be the priest's, in addition to the sheep offered to take away his sin.

And every offering lifted up of all the holy things which the children of Israel give to the priest, will be his.

And every man's holy things will be his: whatever a man gives to the priest will be his.

By taking as her lover another man, and keeps it secret so that her husband has no knowledge of it, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act;

And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it.

And it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.

But if she is clean she will be free and will have offspring.

Then the man will be free from all wrong, and the woman's sin will be on her.

All the time he is under his oath let no blade come near his head; till the days while he is separate are ended he is holy and his hair may not be cut.

If death comes suddenly to a man at his side, so that he becomes unclean, let his hair be cut off on the day when he is made clean, on the seventh day.

And he will give to the Lord his days of being separate, offering a he-lamb of the first year as an offering for error: but the earlier days will be a loss, because he became unclean.

Then let his long hair, the sign of his oath, be cut off at the door of the Tent of meeting, and let him put it on the fire on which the peace-offerings are burning.

This is the law for him who takes an oath to keep himself separate, and for his offering to the Lord on that account, in addition to what he may be able to get; this is the law of his oath, which he will have to keep.

Say to Aaron and his sons, These are the words of blessing which are to be used by you in blessing the children of Israel; say to them,

May the light of the Lord's face be shining on you in grace:

May the Lord's approval be resting on you and may he give you peace.

Take the things from them, to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting; and give them to the Levites, to every man what is needed for his work.

And his offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

He gave one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;
