Reckon ye up the sum of all the assembly of the sons of Israel, by their families by their ancestral houses, - in the counting of names, every male, by their polls;

from twenty years old and upwards, every one able to go forth to war in Israel, - ye shall number them by their hosts, thou and Aaron;

These, are they who had been summoned by the assembly, being princes of the tribes of their fathers, - heads of the thousands of Israeli.

And they were as followeth - The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, in their pedigrees - by their families, by their ancestral houses, in the counting of names, by their polls, every male, from twenty years old and upwards, every one able to go forth to war;

These, are they who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron and the twelve princes of Israel did number, the princes acting each one for his ancestral house.

So then all they who were numbered of the sons of Israel by their ancestral houses, from twenty years old and upwards, every one able to go forth to war in Israel;

Only the tribe of Levi, shalt thou no number, nor the sum of them, shalt thou reckon up, in the midst of the sons of Israel.

So then the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man, near his own camp, and, every man, near his own standard, by their hosts;

but the Levites, shall pitch their tents round about the habitation of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the assembly of the sons of Israel, - so shall the Levites keep the watch of the habitation of the testimony.

Thus did the sons of Israel, - according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did they.

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.

These, are they who were numbered of the sons of Israel by their ancestral houses, - all they who were numbered of the camps by their hosts were six hundred and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

But the Levites, were not numbered in the midst of the sons of Israel, - As Yahweh commanded Moses.

Thus did the sons of Israel, - according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did they encamp by their standards, and so, did they set forward, every one by his families near his ancestral house.

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.

Thus shalt thou give the Levites unto Aaron and unto his sons, - given, given, they are unto him, from among the sons of Israel;

I, therefore, lo! I have taken the Levites out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of every firstborn that a mother beareth, from among the sons of Israel, - so shall the Levites be mine;

for, mine, is every firstborn, in the day when I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, hallowed unto myself every firstborn in Israel, both of man and of beast, - mine, did they become, and belong unto me, Yahweh.

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.

And Yahweh said unto Moses: Number thou every firstborn male belonging to the sons of Israel, from one month old and upwards, - and reckon up the number of their names;

then shalt thou take the Levites for me, me Yahweh, instead of every firstborn among the sons of Ishmael, - also the cattle of the Levites, instead of every firstling among the cattle of the sons of Israel.

So then Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him, - every firstborn among the sons of Israel.

Take the Levites, instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, instead of their cattle, - so shall the Levites belong unto me, me Yahweh;

and as the ransom of the two hundred and seventy-three, - who are mere than the Levites, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel,

from the firstborn of the sons of Israel, took he the silver, - a thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary,

All they who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel did number, even the Levites, by their families and by their ancestral house;

Command the sons of Israel, that they send forth out of the camp, every leper, and every one that hath a flux, - and every one that is unclean by the dead:

And the sons of Israel did so, and sent them forth unto the outside of the camp, - as Yahweh spake unto Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.

Speak unto the sons of Israel: When any man or woman, shall do aught of an human sin, in acting unfaithfully against Yahweh, - and that person shall become aware of his guilt,

And every heave-offering, of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel which they bring near to the priest, unto him, shall it belong.

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, - When any man's wife, shall turn aside, and commit against him an act of unfaithfulness;

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, - When any man or woman, would make the special vow of One Separate, by separating himself unto Yahweh,

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons saying Thus, shall ye bless the sons of Israel, - saying unto them:

Thus shall they put my name upon the sons of Israel, - and, I, myself, will bless them.

that the princes of Israel, the heads of their ancestral houses, made an offering, - they being princes of the tribes, they being the inert who stood over them who were numbered:

This, was the offering for the dedication of the altar in the day when it was anointed, from the princes of Israel, - twelve chargers of silver twelve tossing bowls of silver, twelve spoons of gold;

Take the Levites, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, - and thou shalt purify them.

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 shalt bring the Levites near before Yahweh, - and the sons of Israel shall lean their hands upon the Levites;

and Aaron shall offer the Levites as a wave-offering before Yahweh, from among the sons of Israel, - so shall they be for performing the laborious work of Yahweh.

thus shalt thou separate the Levites out of the midst of the sons of Israel, - thus shall the Levites become mine.

For, given, given, they are unto me, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, - instead of every firstborn that a mother beareth from among the sons of Israel, have I taken them unto me.

For mine, is every firstborn among the sons of Israel, among men and among beasts, - on the day when I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, did I hallow them unto me.

Therefore have I taken the Levites, - instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel;

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 Moses and Aaron and all the assembly of the sons of Israel did thus unto the Levites, - according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses as touching the Levites, so, did the sons of Israel unto them.

Let the sons of Israel therefore, keep the passover in its appointed season:

Then spake Moses unto the sons of Israel that they should keep the passover.

So they kept the passover in the first month , on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings, in the desert of Sinai, - according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.

Then said those men unto him, We, are unclean by a dead person, - wherefore should we become of less esteem for want of offering the oblation of Yahweh in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?

Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, - Though, any man, be unclean by a dead person or be on a journey afar off, whether in the case of yourselves or of your generations, yet shall he keep a passover unto Yahweh.

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:

at the bidding of Yahweh, the sons of Israel set forward, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, - all the days that the cloud abode upon the habitation, they remained encamped.

And when the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation, many days, then would the sons of Israel keep the watch of Yahweh, and would not set forward.

Whether for two days or a month or a year, the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation abiding thereupon, the sons of Israel remained encamped and set not forward, - but at the upgoings thereof, they set forward.

And, if, only once, they blow, then shall the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, gather themselves unto thee.

and the sons of Israel set forward by their removals from the desert of Sinai, and then the cloud abode in the desert of Paran.

These, were the settings-forward of the sons of Israel by their hosts, - thus did they set forward.

Then said Moses to Hobab, son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses: Setting forward, are we unto the place of which Yahweh hath said, The same, will I give unto you, - Oh come with us and we will do thee good, for, Yahweh, hath spoken good, concerning Israel.

But when it rested, he said, - Return, O Yahweh! unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel.

Moreover the mixed multitude that was in their midst concealed not their lusting, - and so even the sons of Israel, fell away and wept, and said: Who will grant us to eat flesh?

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.

Then was Moses received back into the camp, - he and the elders of Israel.

Send for thee men and let them spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving unto the sons of Israel, - one man each for the tribe of his fathers, shalt thou send, each one a prince among them.

So then Moses sent them out of the desert of Paran, at the bidding of Yahweh, - all of them, great men, heads of the seas of Israel, were they.

That place, was called, The Ravine of Eschol - on account of the cluster, which was cut down from thence by the sons of Israel.

So they took their journey, and came in unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel into the wilderness of Paran, towards Kadesh, - and brought back word - unto them and unto all the assembly, and showed them the fruit of the land.

So they sent forth a rumour of the land which they had spied out, among the sons of Israel, saying, - As touching the land through which we passed to spy it out, it is, land that eateth up them who dwell therein, And all the people that we saw in the midst thereof, were men of great stature.

And all the sons of Israel, murmured against Moses and against Aaron, - and all the assembly said unto them - Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt, Or in this wilderness, oh that we had died!

Then did Moses and Aaron fall upon their faces, - before all the convocation of the assembly of the sons of Israel.

and spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying, - As for the land through which we passed to spy it out, Good, is the land, exceedingly,

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.

How long, as regardeth this evil assembly, re they to be murmuring against me? The murmuring of the sons of Israel which, they, have been murmuring against me, have I heard,

And Moses spake these words unto all the sons of Israel, and the people were greatly depressed.

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shall say unto them, - When ye shall enter into the land of your dwelling-places, which, I, am giving unto you;

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, - When ye enter into the land whereinto I, am bringing you,

So shall the priest put a propitiatory, covering over all the assembly of the sons of Israel and pardon shall be granted unto them, - because a mistake, it was, they, therefore have brought in their offering - an altar-flame unto Yahweh and their sin-bearer before Yahweh for their mistake:

and pardon shall be granted unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel and unto the sojourner that sojourneth in their midst, - for, in the case of all the people, it was, by mistake.

For the native born among the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in their midst, one law, shall there be unto you - for acting by mistake.

While the sons of Israel were in the desert, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, That they shall make them fringes on the corners of their garments unto their generations - and shall put upon the fringe of the corner a cord of blue:

and rose up before Moses, with certain men of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty, - princes of assembly, called to the stated meeting, men of renown;

Is it too small a thing for you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, - to do the laborious work of the habitation of Yahweh, and to stand before the assembly, to wait upon them?

So Moses rose up, and went, unto Dathan and Abiram, - then went, after him the eiders of Israel.

And, all Israel who were round about them, fled at their cry, - for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.

As for the censers of these sinners against their own persons, they shall be made into beaten-out plates as an overlay for the altar, for hey had brought them near before Yahweh and hallowed them, - so shall they become a sign unto the sons of Israel.

a memorial unto the sons of Israel, That no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, shall draw near to offer incense before Yahweh, - lest he become like Korah and like his assembly, As spake Yahweh by the hand of Moses with regard thereto.

And all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmured, on the morrow, against Moses and against, Aaron, saying, - Ye, have caused the death of the people of Yahweh.

Speak unto he sans of Israel and take of them one staff each for an ancestral house of all their princes, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves, - each man's name, shalt thou write upon his staff;

So shall it come to pass, that, the man whom I shall choose, his staff, shall bud, - so will I cause to cease from against me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, wherewith they, are murmuring against you.

And Moses spake unto the sons of Israel and every one of their princes gave unto him, a staff apiece, for each prince, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves, - and the staff of Aaron, was in the midst of their staves.

So then Moses brought forth all the staves, from before Yahweh, unto all the sons of Israel, - and they saw and took, each man his own staff.

Then spake the sons of Israel unto Moses saying: Lo! we have breathed our last - we are lost, we are, all, lost:

So shall ye keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, - that there no more be wrath against the sons of Israel.

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 Yahweh spake unto Aaron, I, therefore, lo! I have given unto thee the charge of my heave-offerings, - as to all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel - unto thee, have I given them. as pertaining to the anointing, and unto thy sons. for a statute age-abiding,

This, therefore, shall be thine - the heave-offering of their gift even all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel, unto thee, have I given them and unto thy sons and unto thy daughters with thee by a statute age-abiding, - every one that is clean in thy house, shall eat it.

every devoted thing in Israel, thine, shall it be:

all the heave-offerings of the holy things which the sons of Israel shall heave up unto Yahweh, have I given unto thee and unto thy sons and unto thy daughters with thee by a statute age-abiding, - an age-abiding covenant of salt, it is before Yahweh, for thee and for thy seed with thee.

Then said Yahweh unto Aaron: In their land, thou shalt have no inheritance, and no allotted portion, shalt thou have in their midst, - I, am thine allotted portion and thine inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.
