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.

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 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.

Thus and thus, shall it be done, for each ox, and for each ram, - and for each young one among the sheep, or among the goats:
