⁶ And I, behold, I have taken your* brothers the Levites from among the sons of Israel. They are a gift to you*, given to Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting. ⁷ And you and your sons with you will keep your* priesthood for everything of the altar and for that within the veil and you* will serve. I give you* the priesthood as a service of gift. And the stranger who comes near will be put to death.

²⁸ And I said to them, You* are holy to Jehovah and the vessels are holy and the silver and the gold are a free-will offering to Jehovah, the God of your* fathers. ²⁹ Watch and keep them, until you* weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the rulers of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah. ³⁰ So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

¹⁵ Meditate on these things; be diligent in them; in order that your progress may be apparent to all. ¹⁶ Take-heed to yourself and to the teaching. Abide in these things; for while practicing this, you will be saving both yourself and those who hear you.

⁴ Now if he indeed was upon the earth, he would not even be a priest, being that the priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

¹⁹ Therefore brethren, having boldness for the entrance into the holy-places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ a way which he inaugurated for us, a fresh and living way, through the curtain, that is, his flesh; ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God; ²² let us come near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts having been sprinkled away from an evil conscience and our body, having been fully-washed in clean water.

² Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the sons of Israel. Both of man and of beast, it is mine.

⁴¹ And you will take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the first-offspring among the cattle of the sons of Israel.

⁴⁵ Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle. And the Levites will be mine. I am Jehovah.

¹⁶ For they are entirely given to me from among the sons of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the sons of Israel, I have taken them to me.

¹⁸ And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.

⁶ And I, behold, I have taken your* brothers the Levites from among the sons of Israel. They are a gift to you*, given to Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting.

²⁹ And it happened at midnight, that Jehovah killed* all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the house in the pit and all the firstborn of cattle.
³⁰ And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians and there was a great cry in Egypt, because there was not a house where there was not one dead.

¹² that you will set apart to Jehovah all that opens the womb. And every first-offspring which you have that comes of a beast, the males will be Jehovah's.

¹⁵ And it happened, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Jehovah killed* all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to Jehovah all that opens the womb, being males, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.

²⁹ You will not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. The firstborn of your sons you will give to me.

¹⁹ All that opens the womb is mine and all your cattle that is male, the first-offspring of cow and sheep.

²⁶ Only the first-offspring among beasts, which is made a first-offspring to Jehovah, no man will sanctify it, whether it is ox or sheep, it is Jehovah's.

¹⁶ For they are entirely given to me from among the sons of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the sons of Israel, I have taken them to me. ¹⁷ For all the firstborn among the sons of Israel are mine, both man and beast. On the day that I killed* all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made them holy for myself.

¹⁵ Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Jehovah, both of man and beast will be your. Nevertheless the firstborn of man you will surely redeem and the first-offspring of unclean beasts you will redeem.

³⁰ And the first of all the first-fruits of every thing and every oblation of everything, of all your* oblations, will be for the priest. You* will also give to the priests the first of your* dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.

²³ (as it has been written in the Law of the Lord, ‘Every male who opens the womb will be called holy to the Lord’);

²³ to the festal-gathering and to the congregation of the firstborn ones, who have been registered in the heavens and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous who have been completed,

⁴⁷ But the Levites according to the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

²² Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those who were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

²⁸ According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

³⁴ And those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.

³⁹ All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
⁴⁰ And Jehovah said to Moses, Number all the firstborn males of the sons of Israel from a month old and upward and take the number of their names.

⁴³ And all the firstborn males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.

¹⁵ Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Jehovah, both of man and beast will be your. Nevertheless the firstborn of man you will surely redeem and the first-offspring of unclean beasts you will redeem. ¹⁶ And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old will you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary (what is twenty gerahs).

⁶² And those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and upward, for they were not numbered among the sons of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the sons of Israel.

¹⁷ I love those who love me and those who seek me diligently will find me.

² Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Jehovah says thus, I remember for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your espousals, how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

³ Jehovah appeared of old to me, saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you.

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, Allow the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ And you have known, that from a baby, the sacred Scriptures which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

²¹ And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh and gave them provision for the way.

³⁹ All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.

⁵¹ And Moses gave the redemption-money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

²⁷ At the commandment of Aaron and his sons will be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden and in all their service. And you* will appoint to those in charge all their burden.

³⁷ These are those who were numbered of the Kohathite families, all who served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.

⁴¹ These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah.

⁴⁵ These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.

⁴⁹ According to the commandment of Jehovah they were numbered by Moses, each man according to his service and according to his burden. Thus they were numbered by him, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

⁵ And the priests the sons of Levi will come near, for Jehovah your God has chosen them to minister to him and to bless in the name of Jehovah and according to their word will every controversy and every stroke be.

¹¹ And the sons of Levi were : Gershon, Kohath and Merari.

¹⁶ And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their genealogy: Gershon and Kohath and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi were a hundred thirty-seven years.
¹⁷ The sons of Gershon were : Libni and Shimei, according to their families. ¹⁸ And the sons of Kohath were : Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred thirty-three years. ¹⁹ And the sons of Merari were : Mahli and Mushi. These are the Levite families according to their genealogy.

⁵ And wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, you will prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. ⁶ Or for a ram, you will prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil. ⁷ And for the drink offering you will offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet aroma to Jehovah.
⁸ And when you prepare a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Jehovah; ⁹ then he will offer with the bullock a meal offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil. ¹⁰ And you will offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Jehovah.
¹¹ Thus it will be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the male-lambs, or of the kids. ¹² According to the number that you* will prepare, so will you* do to every one according to their number. ¹³ All who are home-born will do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Jehovah.
¹⁴ And if a stranger travels with you*, or whoever may be among you* throughout your* genealogy and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Jehovah; as you* do, so he will do. ¹⁵ For the assembly, there will be one statute for you* and for the stranger who travels with you *, an everlasting statute throughout your* genealogy. As you* are, so will the traveler be before Jehovah. ¹⁶ One law and one ordinance will be for you* and for the stranger who travels with you*.
¹⁷ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁸ Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When you* come into the land where I bring you*, ¹⁹ then it will be, that, when you* eat of the bread of the land, you* will offer up a heave offering to Jehovah. ²⁰ Of the first of your* dough you* will offer up a cake for a heave offering, as the heave offering of the threshing-floor, so will you* heave it. ²¹ Of the first of your* dough you* will give to Jehovah a heave offering throughout your* genealogy.
²² And when you* will err and not observe all these commandments, which Jehovah has spoken to Moses, ²³ even all that Jehovah has commanded you* by Moses, from the day that Jehovah commanded and onward throughout your* generations,

⁶ And he returned to him. And behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he and all the rulers of Moab.
⁷ And he took up his oracle and said, From Aram Balak has brought me, the King of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me and come, defy Israel. ⁸ How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom Jehovah has not defied? ⁹ For from the top of the rocks I see him and from the hills I behold him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone and will not be reckoned among the nations. ¹⁰ Who can count the dust of Jacob, or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his!
¹¹ And Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether. ¹² And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak what Jehovah puts in my mouth?
¹³ And Balak said to him, I beseech you, come with me to another place, from where you may see them. You will see but the outmost part of them and will not see them all and curse them for me from there. ¹⁴ And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah and built seven altars and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar. ¹⁵ And he said to Balak, Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet Jehovah yonder.
¹⁶ And Jehovah met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, Return to Balak and thus will you speak. ¹⁷ And he came to him. And behold, he was standing by his burnt offering and the rulers of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?
¹⁸ And he took up his oracle and said, Rise up, Balak and hear. Listen to me, you son of Zippor. ¹⁹ God is not a man, that he should lie, neither the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said and will he not do it? Or has he spoken and will he not make it good? ²⁰ Behold, I have received to bless. And he has blessed and I cannot reverse it. ²¹ He has not beheld wickedness in Jacob, neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. Jehovah his God is with him and the shout of a king is among them.
²² God brings them forth out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox. ²³ Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob, neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God worked!

¹ And when Balaam saw that it pleased Jehovah to bless Israel, he did not go, as at the other times, to meet with omens, but he set his face toward the wilderness. ² And Balaam lifted up his eyes and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes and the Spirit of God came upon him.
³ And he took up his oracle and said, Balaam the son of Beor says and the man whose eye was closed says, ⁴ he says who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down and having his eyes open, ⁵ How good are your tents, O Jacob, your tabernacles, O Israel! ⁶ As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the river-side, as aloes which Jehovah has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters. ⁷ Water will flow from his buckets and his seed will be in many waters and his king will be higher than Agag and his kingdom will be exalted.
⁸ God brings him forth out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox. He will eat up the nations his adversaries and will break their bones in pieces and kill* them through with his arrows. ⁹ He couched, he lay down as a lion and as a lioness. Who will rouse him up? He who graces you is blessed, And he who curses you is cursed.
¹⁰ And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam and he struck his hands together. And Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times. ¹¹ Therefore now flee to your place. I thought to promote you to great honor, but behold, Jehovah has kept you back from honor.
¹² And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to your messengers that you sent to me, saying, ¹³ If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah, to do either good or bad of my own mind. What Jehovah speaks, that I will speak?
¹⁴ And now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the latter days.
¹⁵ And he took up his oracle and said, Balaam the son of Beor says and the man whose eye was closed says, ¹⁶ he says who hears the words of God and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down and having his eyes open.
¹⁷ I see him, but not now. I behold him, but not near. There will come out a star out of Jacob and a scepter will rise out of Israel and will kill* through the corners of Moab and break down all the sons of tumult. ¹⁸ And Edom will be a possession, Seir also will be a possession, who were his enemies, while Israel does valiantly.
¹⁹ And out of Jacob will come he who will have dominion and will destroy the remnant from the city. ²⁰ And he looked on Amalek and took up his oracle and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his latter end will come to destruction. ²¹ And he looked on the Kenite and took up his oracle and said, Strong is your dwelling-place and your nest is set in the rock. ²² Nevertheless Kain will be wasted, until Asshur will carry you away captive.
²³ And he took up his oracle and said, Alas, who will live when God does this? ²⁴ But ships will come from the coast of Kittim and they will afflict Asshur and will afflict Eber and he also will come to destruction.
²⁵ And Balaam rose up and went and returned to his place and Balak also went his way.

⁵⁷ And these are those who were numbered of the Levites according to their families: of Gershon, the Gershonite family; of Kohath, the Kohathite family; of Merari, the Merarite family.
⁵⁸ These are the families of Levi: the Libnite family, the Hebronite family, the Mahlite family, the Mushite family, the Korahite family. And Kohath fathered Amram.

¹ Then the heads of fathers of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel. ² And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs of it for our cattle. ³ And the sons of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of Jehovah, these cities with their suburbs:
⁴ And the lot came out for the Kohathite families. And the sons of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah and out of the tribe of the Simeonites and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities. ⁵ And the rest of the sons of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim and out of the tribe of Dan and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

⁸ And the sons of Israel gave these cities by lot to the Levites with their suburbs, as Jehovah commanded by Moses.
⁹ And they gave out of the tribe of the sons of Judah and out of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name, ¹⁰ and they were for the sons of Aaron, of the Kohathite families, who were of the sons of Levi, for theirs was the first lot. ¹¹ And they gave them Kiriath-arba, Arba was the father of Anak (what is Hebron), in the hill-country of Judah, with the suburbs of it all around it.
¹² But the fields of the city and the villages of it, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
¹³ And to the sons of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer and Libnah with its suburbs, ¹⁴ and Jattir with its suburbs and Eshtemoa with its suburbs, ¹⁵ and Holon with its suburbs and Debir with its suburbs, ¹⁶ and Ain with its suburbs and Juttah with its suburbs, and Beth-shemesh with its suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.

¹⁹ All the cities of the sons of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
²⁰ And the families of the sons of Kohath, the Levites, even the rest of the sons of Kohath, they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim. ²¹ And they gave them Shechem with its suburbs in the hill-country of Ephraim, the city of refuge for the manslayer and Gezer with its suburbs, ²² and Kibzaim with its suburbs and Beth-horon with its suburbs; four cities.
²³ And out of the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its suburbs, Gibbethon with its suburbs, ²⁴ Aijalon with its suburbs, Gath-rimmon with its suburbs; four cities.

²⁸ And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its suburbs, Daberath with its suburbs, ²⁹ Jarmuth with its suburbs, En-gannim with its suburbs; four cities.
³⁰ And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its suburbs, Abdon with its suburbs, ³¹ Helkath with its suburbs and Rehob with its suburbs; four cities.

³⁸ And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer and Mahanaim with its suburbs, ³⁹ Heshbon with its suburbs, Jazer with its suburbs; four cities in all.
⁴⁰ All these were the cities of the sons of Merari according to their families, even the rest of the Levite families; and their lot was twelve cities.
⁴¹ All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel were forty-eight cities with their suburbs. ⁴² These cities were every one with their suburbs all around them. Thus it was with all these cities.
⁴³ So Jehovah gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers and they possessed it and dwelt in it. ⁴⁴ And Jehovah gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers. And there stood not a man of all their enemies before them. Jehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand. ⁴⁵ There failed not anything of any good thing which Jehovah had spoken to the house of Israel; all happened.

³ Now these are the chiefs of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem. But in the cities of Judah everyone dwells in his possession in their cities, namely, Israel, the priests and the Levites and the Nethinim and the sons of Solomon's servants.
⁴ And in Jerusalem certain of the sons of Judah and of the sons of Benjamin dwelt.

²⁶ This Shelomoth and his brothers were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king and the heads of the fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds and the captains of the army, had dedicated. ²⁷ They dedicated to repair the house of Jehovah out of the spoil won in battles. ²⁸ And all that Samuel the seer and Saul the son of Kish and Abner the son of Ner and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated, whoever had dedicated anything, it was under the hand of Shelomoth and of his brothers.

²⁴ And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, watch next to watch. ²⁵ Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were gatekeepers keeping the watch at the store-houses of the gates. ²⁶ These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra the priest the scribe.

⁵³ But the Levites will encamp all around the tabernacle of the testimony, that there is no wrath upon the congregation of the sons of Israel. And the Levites will keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.

⁹ According to all that I show you: the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all the furniture of it, even so will you* make it.

¹ Moreover you will make the tabernacle with ten curtains, of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the skillful workman will you make them. ² The length of each curtain will be twenty-eight cubits and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains will have one measure. ³ Five curtains will be coupled together one to another and the other five curtains will be coupled one to another. ⁴ And you will make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling and likewise you will make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling. ⁵ Fifty loops you will make in the one curtain and fifty loops you will make in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling; the loops will be opposite one to another. ⁶ And you will make fifty clasps of gold and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps. And the tabernacle will be one whole.
⁷ And you will make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle. Eleven curtains you will make them. ⁸ The length of each curtain will be thirty cubits and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains will have one measure. ⁹ And you will couple five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves and will double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent. ¹⁰ And you will make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling and fifty loops upon the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second coupling. ¹¹ And you will make fifty clasps of brass and put the clasps into the loops and couple the tent together, that it may be one. ¹² And the overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, will hang over the back of the tabernacle. ¹³ And the cubit on the one side and the cubit on the other side, of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, will hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.
¹⁴ And you will make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red and a covering of certain skins above.

³⁶ And you will make a screen for the door of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer. ³⁷ And you will make for the screen five pillars of acacia and overlay them with gold. Their hooks will be of gold and you will cast five sockets of brass for them.

⁸ And all the wise-hearted men among them who worked the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains, of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet, with cherubim; the work of the skillful workman made them. ⁹ The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure. ¹⁰ And he coupled five curtains one to another and the other five curtains he coupled one to another. ¹¹ And he made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling. ¹² Fifty loops he made in the one curtain and fifty loops he made in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling; the loops were opposite one to another. ¹³ And he made fifty clasps of gold and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was one.
¹⁴ And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle. Eleven curtains he made them. ¹⁵ The length of each curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits the breadth of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure. ¹⁶ And he coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. ¹⁷ And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling and fifty loops he made upon the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second coupling. ¹⁸ And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
¹⁹ And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red and a covering of certain skins above.

³⁷ And he made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer, ³⁸ and the five pillars of it with their hooks. And he overlaid their capitals and their bands with gold and their five sockets were of brass.

¹⁹ And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent above upon it, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

²⁸ And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

⁷ And they will keep his charge and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

²⁴ This is the service of the Gershonite families, in serving and in bearing burdens: ²⁵ They will bear the curtains of the tabernacle and the tent of meeting, its covering and the covering of certain skin that is above upon it and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting, ²⁶ and the hangings of the court and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar all around and their cords and all the instruments of their service and whatever will be done with them; they will serve in it.
²⁷ At the commandment of Aaron and his sons will be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden and in all their service. And you* will appoint to those in charge all their burden. ²⁸ This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting. And their charge will be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

⁷ Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service.

¹⁴ And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari, ¹⁵ and Bakbakkar, Heresh and Galal and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph, ¹⁶ and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
¹⁷ And the gatekeepers: Shallum and Akkub and Talmon and Ahiman and their brothers (Shallum was the chief), ¹⁸ who formerly served in the king's gate eastward. They were the gatekeepers for the camp of the sons of Levi. ¹⁹ And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah and his brothers, of his father's house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent. And their fathers had been over the camp of Jehovah, keepers of the entry. ²⁰ And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past, and Jehovah was with him. ²¹ Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper of the door of the tent of meeting.
²² All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers in the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer established in their office of trust.
²³ So they and their sons had the oversight of the gates of the house of Jehovah, even the house of the tent, as guards. ²⁴ On the four sides were the gatekeepers, toward the east, west, north and south.
²⁵ And their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them; ²⁶ for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were in an office of trust and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God. ²⁷ And they lodged all around the house of God, because the charge of it was upon them and to them pertained the opening of it morning by morning.
²⁸ And certain of them had charge of the vessels of service, for by count were these brought in and by count were these taken out. ²⁹ Some of them were also appointed over the furniture and over all the vessels of the sanctuary and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices. ³⁰ And some of the sons of the priests prepared the confection of the spices. ³¹ And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the office of trust over the things that were baked in pans. ³² And some of their brothers, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the showbread to prepare it every Sabbath.
³³ And these are the singers, heads of fathers of the Levites, who dwelt in the chambers and were free from other service, for they were employed in their work day and night.

³² And that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting and the charge of the holy place and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of Jehovah.

²¹ The sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, the heads of the fathers belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli. ²² The sons of Jehieli: Zetham and Joel his brother, over the treasures of the house of Jehovah.

² And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the camp of Jehovah.

¹¹ Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah and they prepared them. ¹² And they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully. And Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them and Shimei his brother was second.
¹³ And Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
¹⁴ And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east gate, was over the free-will offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of Jehovah and the most holy things.
¹⁵ And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brothers by divisions, as well to the great as to the small, ¹⁶ besides those who were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone that entered into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions, ¹⁷ and those who were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers' houses and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions, ¹⁸ and those who were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives and their sons and their daughters, through all the congregation. For in their office of trust they made themselves holy in holiness.

³⁴ It is like a man, going-abroad, having left his house and given authority to his bondservants, and his work to each one, and he commanded the doorkeeper in order that he should watch.

⁶ Now having assorted gifts according to the grace which was given to us; if prophecy, then prophesy according to the analogy of the faith; ⁷ if service, in the service; if he who is teaching, in the teaching; ⁸ if he who is encouraging, in the encouragement; he who is giving, in liberality; he who is governing, do in diligence; he who is showing-mercy to others, do with joyfulness.

¹⁷ And say to Archippus, Beware that the service which you have received in the Lord, that you should fulfill it.

¹⁸ I consign this command to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophesies preceding upon you, in order that you may be warring the good warfare by them;

⁹ And you will make the court of the tabernacle. For the south side southward there will be hangings for the court of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side. ¹⁰ And the pillars of it will be twenty and their sockets twenty, of brass. The hooks of the pillars and their bands will be of silver. ¹¹ And likewise for the north side in length there will be hangings a hundred cubits long and the pillars of it twenty and their sockets twenty, of brass, the hooks of the pillars and their bands, of silver. ¹² And for the breadth of the court on the west side will be hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten and their sockets ten. ¹³ And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward will be fifty cubits. ¹⁴ The hangings for the one side of the gate will be fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three. ¹⁵ And for the other side will be hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three.
¹⁶ And for the gate of the court will be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer, their pillars four and their sockets four.

¹⁸ the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court and their cords,

⁹ And he made the court. For the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits, ¹⁰ their pillars were twenty and their sockets twenty, of brass. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver. ¹¹ And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty and their sockets twenty, of brass, the hooks of the pillars and their bands, of silver. ¹² And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten and their sockets ten, the hooks of the pillars and their bands, of silver. ¹³ And for the east side eastward fifty cubits. ¹⁴ The hangings for the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three, ¹⁵ and so for the other side. On this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three. ¹⁶ All the hangings of the court all around were of fine twined linen.

¹⁹ And the sons of Kohath by their families: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

¹² The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel, four.

²³ Of the Amramites, of the Izharites, of the Hebronites, of the Uzzielites:

³¹ And their charge will be the ark and the table and the lamp-stand and the altars and the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister and the screen and all the service of it.

³⁵ from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, each man who entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting. ³⁶ And those who were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.

¹⁰ On the south side will be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies. And the ruler of the sons of Reuben will be Elizur the son of Shedeur.

²³ The Gershonite family will encamp behind the tabernacle westward.

¹⁰ And they will make an ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half will be the length of it and a cubit and a half the breadth of it and a cubit and a half the height of it. ¹¹ And you will overlay it with pure gold. Inside and outside you will overlay it and will make upon it a crown of gold all around. ¹² And you will cast four rings of gold for it and put them in the four feet of it. And two rings will be on the one side of it and two rings on the other side of it. ¹³ And you will make staves of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. ¹⁴ And you will put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, with which to bear the ark. ¹⁵ The staves will be in the rings of the ark; they will not be taken from it. ¹⁶ And you will put into the ark the testimony which I will give you.
¹⁷ And you will make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half the length of it and a cubit and a half the breadth of it. ¹⁸ And you will make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work will you make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat. ¹⁹ And make one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the mercy-seat you* will make the cherubim on the two ends of it. ²⁰ And the cherubim will spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; the faces of the cherubim will be toward the mercy-seat.
²¹ And you will put the mercy-seat above upon the ark. And in the ark you will put the testimony that I will give you. ²² And there I will meet with you. And I will speak with you from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment to the sons of Israel.
²³ And you will make a table of acacia wood, two cubits the length of it and a cubit the breadth of it and a cubit and a half the height of it. ²⁴ And you will overlay it with pure gold and make for it a crown of gold all around. ²⁵ And you will make to it a border of a handbreadth all around and you will make a golden crown to the border of it all around. ²⁶ And you will make for it four rings of gold and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet of it. ²⁷ The rings will be close by the border, for places for the staves to bear the table. ²⁸ And you will make the staves of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. ²⁹ And you will make the dishes of it and the spoons of it and the pitchers of it and the bowls of it, with which to pour out, of pure gold you will make them. ³⁰ And you will set upon the table showbread before me always.
³¹ And you will make a lamp-stand of pure gold. Of beaten work will the lamp-stand be made, even its base and its shaft, its cups, its knobs and its flowers, will be of one piece with it. ³² And there will be six branches going out of the sides of it, three branches of the lamp-stand out of the one side of it and three branches of the lamp-stand out of the other side of it: ³³ three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knob and a flower and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knob and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lamp-stand, ³⁴ and in the lamp-stand four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knobs of it and the flowers of it. ³⁵ And a knob under two branches of one piece with it and a knob under two branches of one piece with it and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lamp-stand. ³⁶ Their knobs and their branches will be of one piece with it, the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold. ³⁷ And you will make the lamps of it, seven. And they will light the lamps of it, to give light in front of it. ³⁸ And the snuffers of it and the snuff dishes of it, will be of pure gold. ³⁹ It will be made from a talant of pure gold, with all these vessels. ⁴⁰ And see that you make them according to their pattern that has been shown you on the mountain.

³¹ And you will make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen. With cherubim, it will be made the work of the skillful workman. ³² And you will hang it upon four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks will be of gold, upon four sockets of silver. ³³ And you will hang up the veil under the clasps and will bring in there within the veil the ark of the testimony.

⁷ And Aaron will burn in it incense of sweet spices. Every morning, when he dresses the lamps, he will burn it. ⁸ And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he will burn it, a perpetual incense before Jehovah throughout your* genealogy. ⁹ You* will offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering. And you* will pour no drink offering on it. ¹⁰ And Aaron will make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year, with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. Once in the year he will make atonement for it throughout your* genealogy. It is most holy to Jehovah.

¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ² See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, ³ and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship, ⁴ to devise skillful works, to work in gold and in silver and in brass, ⁵ and in cutting of stones for setting and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.
⁶ And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
⁷ the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony and the mercy-seat that is on it and all the furniture of the tent, ⁸ and the table and its vessels and the pure lamp-stand with all its vessels and the altar of incense, ⁹ and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels and the large-basin and its base, ¹⁰ and the finely worked garments and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office, ¹¹ and the anointing oil and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place.
According to all that I have commanded you they will do.
¹² And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ¹³ Speak also to the sons of Israel, saying, Truly you* will keep my Sabbaths, because it is a sign between me and you* throughout your* genealogy, that you* may know that I am Jehovah who sanctifies you*. ¹⁴ You* will keep the Sabbath therefore, because it is holy to you*. Everyone who profanes it will surely be put to death, because whoever does any work on it, that soul will be cut off from among his people. ¹⁵ Six days will work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Jehovah. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he will surely be put to death. ¹⁶ Therefore the sons of Israel will keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their genealogy, for a everlasting covenant. ¹⁷ It is a sign between me and the sons of Israel everlasting. For in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.
¹⁸ And he gave to Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

³⁵ And he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen. He made it with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman. ³⁶ And he made for it four pillars of acacia and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

¹ And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; two cubits and a half was the length of it and a cubit and a half the breadth of it and a cubit and a half the height of it. ² And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside and made a crown of gold to it all around. ³ And he cast four rings of gold for it, in the four feet of it, even two rings on the one side of it and two rings on the other side of it. ⁴ And he made staves of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. ⁵ And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
⁶ And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half the length of it and a cubit and a half the breadth of it. ⁷ And he made two cherubim of gold, of beaten work he made them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat,

¹ And he made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length of it and five cubits the breadth of it, square and three cubits the height of it. ² And he made the horns of it upon the four corners of it. The horns of it were of one piece with it and he overlaid it with brass. ³ And he made all the vessels of the altar: the pots and the shovels and the basins, the forks and the censors. All the vessels of it he made of brass. ⁴ And he made for the altar a grating of lattice-work of brass, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up. ⁵ And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of brass, to be places for the staves. ⁶ And he made the staves of acacia wood and overlaid them with brass. ⁷ And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to bear it; he made it hollow with planks.

³³ And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furniture: its clasps, its boards, it bars and its pillars and it sockets, ³⁴ and the covering of rams' skins dyed red and the covering of certain skins and the veil of the screen, ³⁵ the ark of the testimony and the staves of it and the mercy-seat, ³⁶ the table, all the vessels of it and the showbread, ³⁷ the pure lamp-stand, the lamps of it, even the lamps to be set in order and all the vessels of it and the oil for the light, ³⁸ and the golden altar and the anointing oil and the sweet incense and the screen for the door of the tent, ³⁹ the brazen altar and its grating of brass, its staves and all its vessels, the large-basin and its base, ⁴⁰ the hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords of it and the pegs of it and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting, ⁴¹ the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
⁴² According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did all the work.

² On the first day of the first month you will raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. ³ And you will put the ark of the testimony in it and you will screen the ark with the veil. ⁴ And you will bring in the table and set in order the things that are upon it and you will bring in the lamp-stand and light the lamps of it. ⁵ And you will set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
⁶ And you will set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. ⁷ And you will set the large-basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and will put water in it. ⁸ And you will set up the court all around and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
⁹ And you will take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it and will sanctify it and all the furniture of it. And it will be holy. ¹⁰ And you will anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its vessels and sanctify the altar. And the altar will be most holy. ¹¹ And you will anoint the large-basin and its base and sanctify it.
¹² And you will bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting and will wash them with water. ¹³ And you will put upon Aaron the holy garments and you will anoint him and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office. ¹⁴ And you will bring his sons and put tunics upon them, ¹⁵ and you will anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office. And their anointing will be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their genealogy.
¹⁶ Thus did Moses. According to all that Jehovah commanded him, so did he.

³⁰ And he set the large-basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it, with which to wash.

⁴ This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, about the most holy things:
⁵ When the camp sets forward, Aaron will go in and his sons and they will take down the veil of the screen and cover the ark of the testimony with it. ⁶ And will put on it a covering of certain skin and will spread over it a cloth all of blue and will put in the staves of it.
⁷ And upon the table of showbread they will spread a cloth of blue and put on it the dishes and the spoons and the bowls and the cups with which to pour out. And the continual bread will be on it. ⁸ And they will spread upon them a cloth of scarlet and cover the same with a covering of certain skin and will put in the staves of it.
⁹ And they will take a cloth of blue and cover the lamp-stand of the light and its lamps and its snuffers and its snuff dishes and all the oil vessels of it, with which they minister to it. ¹⁰ And they will put it and all the vessels of it within a covering of certain skin and will put it upon the frame.
¹¹ And upon the golden altar they will spread a cloth of blue and cover it with a covering of certain skin and will put in the staves of it.

¹³ And they will take away the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth on it. ¹⁴ And they will put upon it all the vessels of it, with which they minister about it: the censors, the forks and the shovels and the basins, all the vessels of the altar. And they will spread upon it a covering of certain skin and put in the staves of it.
¹⁵ And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp is set forward, after that, the sons of Kohath will come to bear it, but they will not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
¹⁶ And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest will be the oil for the light and the sweet incense and the continual meal offering and the anointing oil, the charge of all the tabernacle and of all that is in it: the sanctuary and the furniture of it.

¹⁶ And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest will be the oil for the light and the sweet incense and the continual meal offering and the anointing oil, the charge of all the tabernacle and of all that is in it: the sanctuary and the furniture of it.

²⁵ Take Aaron and Eleazar his son and bring them up to Mount Hor, ²⁶ and strip Aaron of his garments and put them upon Eleazar his son. And Aaron will be gathered and will die there.
²⁷ And Moses did as Jehovah commanded. And they went up into Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. ²⁸ And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them upon Eleazar his son. And Aaron died there on the top of the mountain and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

³¹ And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle and the bars of it and the pillars of it and the sockets of it, ³² and the pillars of the court all around and their sockets and their pegs and their cords, with all their instruments and with all their service.

² And your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, that they may be joined to you and minister to you, but you and your sons with you will be before the tent of the testimony. ³ And they will keep your charge and the charge of all the tent. Only they will not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you*. ⁴ And they will be joined to you and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent and a stranger will not come near to you*. ⁵ And you* will keep the charge of the sanctuary and the charge of the altar, that there is no more wrath upon the sons of Israel.

⁴⁸ And their brothers the Levites were appointed for all the service of the tabernacle of the house of God.
⁴⁹ But Aaron and his sons offered upon the altar of burnt offering and upon the altar of incense, for all the work of the most holy place and to make atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.

⁴⁷ from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, each man who entered in to do the work of service and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting, ⁴⁸ even those who were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and eighty.

¹⁴ Why is it? Narrow is the gate and pressed is the way, which is leading to life and few are those who are finding it.

¹² And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of all the firstborn who opens the womb among the sons of Israel. And the Levites will be mine,

¹⁵ Number the sons of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families. You will number them, every male from a month old and upward.

⁶ Jehovah will count when he writes up the peoples: This man was born there. Selah.

³ And it will happen, that he who is left in Zion and he who remains in Jerusalem, will be called holy, even everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem,

²⁰ However, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.

³ Yes, I am also requesting you, genuine colleague, help these women, who contended together with me in the good-news, also with Clement, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

¹⁹ Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal, ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’

⁵ He who overcomes this, he will be dressed in white garments, and I will never wipe-away his name out of the Book of Life and I will confess his name in the sight of my Father and in the sight of his messengers.

⁴ These are those who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are those who are following the Lamb wherever he goes. These were bought by Jesus from mankind, as the first-fruit to God and to the Lamb,

⁵ And he sent young men of the sons of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to Jehovah. ⁶ And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

²⁸ just-like the Son of Man did not come to be served to, but to serve and to give his life as a redemption in exchange-for many.

⁶ who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all; the testimony given in its own times;

⁴⁰ And Jehovah said to Moses, Number all the firstborn males of the sons of Israel from a month old and upward and take the number of their names. ⁴¹ And you will take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the first-offspring among the cattle of the sons of Israel.

¹³ And every first-offspring of a donkey you will redeem with a lamb and if you will not redeem it, then you will break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons you will redeem.

¹³ This they will give, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary, (the shekel is twenty gerahs,) half a shekel for an offering to Jehovah.

⁶ And if it is from a month old even to five years old, then your estimation will be of the male five shekels of silver and for the female your estimation will be three shekels of silver.

²⁵ And all your estimations will be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs will be the shekel.

⁵⁰ He took the money from the firstborn of the sons of Israel, a thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

¹⁶ And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old will you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary (what is twenty gerahs).

¹² And the shekel will be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, fifteen shekels, will be your* maneh.

⁴⁶ And for the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, who are over and above the number of the Levites, ⁴⁷ you will take five shekels apiece by the poll. According to the shekel of the sanctuary you will take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs),

⁵ For there is one God, and one intermediary of God and of men, the man, Christ Jesus, ⁶ who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all; the testimony given in its own times;

¹⁴ who gave himself on our behalf, in order that he might redeem us away from all lawlessness and might cleanse a treasured people for himself, zealous of good works.

¹² nor through the blood of male-goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy of holies, having found everlasting redemption.

¹⁸ knowing that you were redeemed from your futile conduct handed down from your forefathers not with corruptible things like with silver or with gold.

¹⁸ Because Christ also suffered once for all on behalf of our sins, the righteous on behalf of the unrighteous, in order that he might lead you to God; having indeed been slain in the flesh, but was given-life in the Spirit;

⁴⁸ and you will give the money, with which the odd number of them is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons.

¹⁵ And Moses was very angry and said to Jehovah, Do not respect you their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

³ Here I am. Witness against me before Jehovah and before his anointed: Whose ox have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Or of whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? And I will restore it to you*.
⁴ And they said, You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man's hand.

⁴ You* remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.

³³ I coveted no one’s silver or gold or garment.

¹² If others are partaking of this authority over you, do we not more? But we did not use this authority, but we are forbearing all things, in order that we should not give any hindrance to the good-news of the Christ.

² Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising the oversight, not by compulsion, but willfully, nor covetously, but eagerly;
