Moreover also, of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you - of them, may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land, - so shall they become yours, as a possession;

and ye may take them as an inheritance for your sons after you to inherit as a possession, unto times age-abiding, of them, may ye take to be bondmen, - but, over your brethren the sons of Israel - a man over his brother, ye shall not rule, over him with rigour.

or, his uncle or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or, a near flesh-relation of his, of his family, may redeem him, or, his own hand may have gotten enough, and, so he may redeem himself.

But if he be not redeemed in any of these ways, then shall he go out in the jubilee year, he, and his sons with him.

For, unto me, are the sons of Israel, bondmen, my bondmen, they are, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I, Yahweh, am your God.

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, - Yea, even the flesh of your daughters, shall ye eat.

These are the statutes and the regulations and the laws, which Yahweh granted between himself, and the sons of Israel, - in Mount Sinai by the mediation of Moses.

Speak unto the sons of Israel and thou shall say unto them - When any man would consecrate and pay a vow by thine estimate of lives unto Yahweh,

These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the sons of Israel, - in Mount Sinai.

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;

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.

And they who encamp eastwards towards sunrise, shall he the standard of the camp of Judah by their hosts, - even the prince of the sons of Judah, Nashon, son of Ammi-nadab;

Then the tribe of Naphtali, - even the prince of the sons of Naphtali, Ahira, son of Enan;

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.

And these, are the names of the sons of Aaron - the firstborn Nadab, - and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

These, are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, - who were installed to minister as priests.

But Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh when they brought near strange fire before Yahweh in the desert of Sinai, and sons, had they none, - so then Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests, in the presence of Aaron their father.

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;

but unto Aaron, and unto his sons, shalt thou give oversight, so shall they keep charge of their priesthood, - and, the stranger who cometh near, shall be put to death.

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;

Number thou the sons of Levi, by their ancestral houses, by their families, - every male, from one month old and upwards, shalt thou number them.

And these were the sons of Levi, by their names, - Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

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

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

And the sons of Merari by their families, Mahli and Mushi. These, are they - the families of the Levites by their ancestral houses.

And, the prince of the ancestral house of the Gershonites, was Eliasaph son of Lael.

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;

The, families of the sons of Kohath, were to encamp, - on the side of the habitation, south-ward.

And the prince of the ancestral house of the families of the Kohathites, was Elizaphan, son of Uzziel.

And the prince of the princes of the Levites, was Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, - to have the oversight of them that were to keep the charge of the sanctuary.

And the prince of the ancestral house of the families of Merari, was Zuriel son of Abihail, - on the side of the habitation, were they to encamp northward.

And the oversight of the charge of the sons of Merari, was - the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and the pillars thereof and the sockets thereof, - and all the furniture thereof, as to all the laborious work thereof;

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,

and shalt give the silver to Aaron and to his sons, - as the ransom of them that are in excess over them.

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,

And Moses gave the redemption silver to Aaron and to his sons at the bidding of Yahweh, - As Yahweh commanded Moses.

Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi, - by their families by their ancestral house:

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

So then Aaron and his sons shall enter when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil, - and enwrap therein the ark of the testimony;

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.

But the care of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, shall be - the light-giving oil, and the fragrant incense, and the perpetual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the care of all the habitation, and all that is therein, both as to the sanctuary, and as to the furniture thereof.

This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live and not die when they approach the most holy place, - Aaron and his sons shall enter and set them man by man over his labour, and unto his burden;

reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon even of them also, - by their ancestral house by their families;

At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall he all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour, - so shall ye appoint unto them in charge their every burden.

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.

As for the sons of Merari, - by their families by their ancestral house, shall ye number them;

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.

Then did Moses and Aaron, and the princes of the assembly, number the sons of the Kohathites, by their families, and by their ancestral house;

And they who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, - by their families, and by their ancestral house;

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.

And they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families by their ancestral house;

These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, - whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh, by the mediation of Moses.

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.
