They shall observe his duties and the duties of the entire community before the tent of assembly, to do the work of the tabernacle.

And they will keep all the vessels of the tent of assembly and the responsibilities of the {Israelites}, to do the work of the tabernacle.

Their responsibility [was] the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altar, and the vessels of the sanctuary, with which they ministered, and the curtain, and all of its use.

from {thirty years old} and above, up to {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to do the work in the tent of assembly.

This [is] the work of the descendants of Kohath in the tent of assembly, concerning the holiness of the sanctuary:

When setting out the camp, Aaron and his sons will go and lower the curtain of the covering and cover with it the ark of the testimony.

from {those twenty years old} and above until {fifty years old}; you will muster them, all who come to help to do the work of the tent of assembly.

This [is] the work of the clans of the Gershonites: to serve and to carry.

and the curtains of the courtyard, and the covering for the doorway of the gate of the courtyard, which [is] all around on the tabernacle and altar, and their cords and all the vessels of their work; and all that is done to them they will do.

And all the work of the descendants of the Gershonites will be at {the command} of Aaron and his sons, for all they [are to] carry and for all their work, and you will appoint to them responsibility for all they [are to] carry.

This [is] the work of the clan of the descendants of the Gershonites in the tent of assembly, and their responsibility [lies] {under the direction} of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}; you will muster them, all who come to do the work of the tent of assembly.

And this [is] the responsibility of {those who are to carry}, all their work in the tent of assembly: the frames of the tabernacle and its bars, pillars, and bases,

and the pillars of the courtyard all around, and their bases, pegs, and cords, with all their vessels and for all their work. You will appoint by name the vessels that they [are] responsible to carry.

This [is] the work of the clan of the descendants of Merari, for all their work in the tent of assembly {under the direction} of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest."

from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}; everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly,

from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly;

from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly,

from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to do [the] work of the service carrying in the tent of assembly,

"{Take them}, and they will be [used] to do the work of the tent of the assembly; and you will give them to the Levites, each {according to his required service}."

But to the descendants of Kohath he did not give [anything] because the work of the sanctuary they carried upon them on their shoulders.

And when Moses came to the tent of assembly to speak with him, he would hear the voice speaking to him from the atonement cover, which [is] on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim, and he would speak to him.

And this [is] {how the lampstand was made}, a hammered-work of gold; from its base up to its blossom, it [was] hammered-work according to the pattern that Yahweh showed Moses; so he made the lampstand.

and {Aaron will offer} the Levites [as] a wave offering {before Yahweh} from the {Israelites}, and they will do the work of Yahweh.

And I have given the Levites; they are given to Aaron and his sons from the midst of the {Israelites} to do the work of the {Israelites} in the tent of the assembly and to make atonement for the {Israelites}, so a plague will not be among the {Israelites} when the {Israelites} come near the sanctuary."

After this the Levites came to do their work in the tent of assembly before Aaron and his sons. Just as Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levities, so they did to them.

"This [is] what is for the Levites: {those twenty-five years old} and above will come to help [with the] service in the work of the tent of assembly;

and {those fifty years old} will return from the service of the work and will serve no longer.

They can attend their brothers in the tent of assembly to keep [their] responsibilities, but they will not do work. This is what you will do concerning the Levities and their responsibilities."

"Make yourself two silver trumpets; make them [of] hammered-work. {You will use them} for calling the community and for breaking the camp.

And so they set out from the mountain of Yahweh a journey of three days, with the ark of the covenant of Yahweh setting out ahead of them three days' journey to search out a resting place for them;

And whenever the ark was setting out Moses would say, "Rise up, Yahweh! May your enemies be scattered; may the ones that hate you flee from your presence."

But they dared to go to the top of the mountain, and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and Moses did not depart from the midst of the camp.

[Is it] too little for you that the God of Israel set you apart from the community of Israel {to allow you to approach him} to do the work of the tabernacle of Yahweh, to stand {before} the community to serve them?

Look, I myself have chosen your brothers the Levites from the midst of the children. They are a gift to you given from Yahweh to perform the work of the tent of assembly.

"Behold, I have given to the descendants of Levi every tithe in Israel as an inheritance in return for their service, which they [are] doing, the work of the tent of assembly.

On the first day [there will be] a holy convocation; {you will not do any regular work}.

On the seventh day you will have a holy convocation; {you will not do any regular work}.

" 'And on the day of firstfruits, when you are presenting a new offering for Yahweh during your Festival of Weeks, you will have a holy convocation; {you will not do any regular work}.

" 'On the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you will have a holy convocation; {you will not do any regular work}. It will be a day for you of blowing trumpets.

" 'And on the tenth of this seventh month you will have a holy convocation, and {you will afflict yourselves}; you will not do any work.

" 'Then on the fifteenth day of the seventh month you will have a holy convocation; {you will not do any regular work}, and you will hold a religious feast for Yahweh for seven days.

" 'On the eighth day you will have an assembly; {you will not do any regular work}.

You will purify yourselves and every garment and every object of hide and all the work of goats' hair, and every object of wood."

Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all objects of work.
