Then spake Yahweh unto Moses in the desert of Sinai in the tent of meeting, - on the first of the second month in the second year by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt saying:

Every man - near his standard with the ensigns belonging to their ancestral houses, shall the sons of Israel encamp, - at a distance round about the tent of meeting, shall they encamp.

Then shall set forward the tent of meeting - the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps, - as they encamp, so, shall they set forward, every man at the side thereof by their standards.

so shall they keep his charge, and the charge of all the assembly, before the tent of meeting, - to do the laborious work of the habitation;

so shall they have charge of all the furniture of the tent of meeting, even the charge of the sons of Israel, - to do the laborious work of the habitation.

And, the charge, of the sons of Gershon, was over the tent of meeting, the habitation, and the tent, - the covering thereof, and the screen for the entrance of the tent of meeting;

But, they who were to encamp before the habitation eastwards before the tent of meeting, towards sunrise, were Moses and Aaron and his sons. to keep the charge of the sanctuary, as the charge of the sons of Israel and, the stranger that came near, was to be put to death.

from thirty years old, and upwards, even unto fifty years, - every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting.

This, shall be the labour of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting, - the most holy things,

So shall Aaron and his sons make an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward, then after that, shall the sons of Kohath enter to bear it, but they must not put forth a touch unto that which, is holy, else should they die, these, shall be the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.

from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shalt thou number them, - All that may enter to take rank in the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting.

they shall bear the curtains of the habitation and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof and the covering of badgers skin which is over above it, - and the screen, at the entrance of the tent of meeting;

This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, - and, the charge of them, shall be in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shall ye number them, - all that enter into the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting,

This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of Merari, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, - in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron, the priest.

from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting;

These, were they who were num-bered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh by the mediation of Moses.

from thirty years old and upwards, even to fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting,:

These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh.

from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, - all that might enter the host to labour in the tent of meeting;

from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter, to toil in the work of labouring and in the work of bearing burdens, in the tent of meeting,

And on the eighth day, shall he bring in. two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, - unto the triest, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting;

And, this, is the law of the Separate One, on the day when he fulfilleth his days of separation, he shall be brought in unto the entrance of the tent of meeting:

Then shall the Separate One shave, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, his head of separation, - and take the hair of his head of separation, and put upon the fire, which is under the peace-offering.

And when Moses entered into the tent of meeting, that He might speak with him, then heard he the Voice speaking unto him from off the propitiatory that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim, - so He spake unto him.

Then shalt thou bring the Levites near, before the tent of meeting, - and shalt call together all the assembly of the sons of Israel;

And after that, shall the Levites enter to do the labour of the tent of meeting, - so shalt thou purify them, and offer them as a wave-offering,

therefore have I given the Levites as a gift unto Aaron and unto his sons, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the laborious work of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to put a propitiatory-covering over the sons of Israel, - so shall there be among the sons of Israel, no plague, by the coming nigh of the sons of Israel unto the sanctuary.

And after that, went the Levites in to do their laborious work in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons, - as Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so, did they unto them.

This is what concerneth the Levites, - from twenty-five years old and upwards, shall they enter to take rank in the host, for doing the laborious work of the tent of meeting;

yet shall they wait upon their brethren in the tent of meeting, by keeping charge, but laborious work, shall they not perform, - thus, shalt thou do unto the Levites, as touching their charges.

Now, on the day the habitation was reared, the cloud covered the habitation, even the tent of the testimony, - and in the evening, it was over the habitation, like an appearance of fire, until morning,

but at the bidding of the upgoings of the cloud from off the tent, then, after that, the sons of Israel set forward, - and in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel encamped:

As soon as they blow therewith, so soon hall all the assembly assemble themselves unto thee, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.

So then Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the entrance of his tent, - then kindled the anger of Yahweh fiercely, and in the eyes of Moses, it was grievous.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Gather thou unto me seventy men, from among the elders of Israel, of whom thou knowest that they are elders of the people and their overseers, - then shalt thou take them unto the tent of meeting, and they shall station themselves there with thee.

And Moses went forth and spake unto the people the words of Yahweh, - and gathered together seventy men from among the elders of the people, and caused them to stand round about the tent.

Now there were two men left behind in the camp - the name of the one, was Eldad and the name of the other, Medad, so then the spirit, rested on them - they, being among them who were written, though they hint not gone forth unto the tent, - but they prophesied in the camp.

Then said Yahweh suddenly, unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three went out.

Then Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, - and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both went forth.

And, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent, - lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam and lo! -- leprous!

But when all the assembly bade stone them with stones, the glory of Yahweh, appeared, in the tent of meeting, unto all the sons of Israel.

So they took each man his censer and put thereon fire, and placed thereon incense, - and took their stand at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

And Korah gathered together against them all the assembly, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, - then appeared the glory of Yahweh, unto all the assembly.

And it came to pass, when the assembly gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, that they turned towards the tent of meeting, and lo! the cloud had covered it: and the glory of Yahweh, appeared.

And Moses and Aaron came in, before the tent of meeting.

And Aaron returned unto Moses, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, - when, the plague, had been restrained.

Then shalt thou lay them up in the tent of meeting, - before the testimony, where I meet with you.

So Moses laid up the staves before Yahweh, - in the tent of the testimony.

And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses entered into the tent of the testimony; and lo! the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi, had budded, - yea it had brought forth buds and bloomed blossoms, and borne ripe almonds.

Therefore also thy brethren of the tribe of Levi the stem of thy father, bring thou near with thee, and let them be joined unto thee, and let them wait upon thee, - both on thee and on thy sons with thee, before the tent of the testimony.

So shall they keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tent, - only, unto the vessels of the sanctuary, and unto the altar, shall they not come near, lest they die - both they, and ye.

So shall they be joined unto thee, and shall keep the charge of the tent of meeting, as to all the laborious work of the tent, - but a stranger, shall not come near unto you.

I, therefore, lo! I have taken your brethren the Levites, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, - unto you, as a gift are they given, unto Yahweh, to do the laborious work of the tent of meeting.

And unto the sons of Levi, lo! I have given all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, - the allotted portion for their laborious work which, they are performing, the laborious work of the tent of meeting:

that the sons of Israel come near no more, unto the tent of meeting, - to bear sin, to die.

So shall the Levites themselves perform the laborious work of the tent of meeting, and, they, shall bear their iniquity, a statute age-abiding, unto your generations, and in the midst of the sons of Israel, shall they take no inheritance.

And ye shall eat it in any place, ye, and your household, - for a reward, it is unto you, the allotted portion for your laborious work in the tent of meeting.

and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, - and shall sprinkle towards the front of the tent of meeting: of her blood, seven times;

This, is the law - When, a human being, shall die in a tent, every one who goeth into the tent and every one who is in the tent shall be unclean seven days.

Then shall a man that is clean take hyssop, and dip in the water, and sprinkle upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons who were there, - and upon him that touched the bone or him who had been slain, or him who had died of himself or the grave;

And Moses and Aaron went in from the presence of the multitude unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces, - and the glory of Yahweh appeared unto them.

And lo! a man of the sons of Israel coming in, who brought near unto his brethren a Midianite woman, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the assembly of the sons of Israel, when they were weeping at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

and went in after the man of Israel into the pleasure-tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, in her parts of shame, - so the plague was restrained from against the sons of Israel.

So they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the assembly, - at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying:

So then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the princes of thousands, and hundreds, - and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the sons of Israel before Yahweh.
