All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;

But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;

You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.

(For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them;)

And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.

This is to be the work of the Gershonites, the things they are to do and take up.

And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, with the cords and all the things used for them; whatever is necessary for these, they are to do.

From the mouth of Aaron and his sons the Gershonites will have word about all the things they are to do and take up; you are to give them their orders.

As most holy things they are to be your food: let every male have them for food; it is to be holy to you.

All the lifted offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as a right for ever. This is an agreement made with salt before the Lord, to you and to your seed for ever.
