²⁷ And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me but walk contrary unto me,

²⁸ then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury, and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

²⁹ And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

³⁰ And I will destroy your high places and cut down your images and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

³¹ And I will make your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the aroma of your suave incense.

³² And I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

³³ And I will scatter you among the Gentiles and will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

³⁴ Then shall the land rest for her sabbaths all the days that it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest and enjoy her sabbaths.

³⁵ All the time that it shall be desolate, it shall rest that which it did not rest in your sabbaths when ye dwelt upon it.

³⁶ And upon those that are left alive of you I will send such cowardice into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, that the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursue.

³⁷ And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursue; and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

³⁸ And ye shall perish among the Gentiles, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

³⁹ And those that are left of you shall pine away for their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and for the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

⁴⁰ ¶ And they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers for their trespass which they trespassed against me and that also they have walked contrary unto me,

⁴¹ and that I also have walked contrary unto them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; and then their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled, and they shall plead because of their iniquity;

⁴² and I will remember my covenant with Jacob and likewise my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the land.

⁴³ That the land shall be without them and shall rest her sabbaths, being desolate because of them; and they shall plead because of their iniquity because they despised my rights and their soul abhorred my statutes.

⁴⁴ And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them to destroy them utterly and to break my covenant with them; for I AM their God.

⁴⁵ But I will remember them because of the old covenant, when I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the Gentiles, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

⁴⁶ These are the statutes and rights and laws, which the LORD established between him and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

27 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When someone shall make a special vow unto the LORD, according to the estimation of the persons that are to be redeemed, thus shall be thy estimation:

³ Regarding the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

⁴ And if it is a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

⁵ And if it is from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

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

⁷ And if it is from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

⁸ But if he is poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of the one that vowed shall the priest value him.

⁹ And if it is an animal which is offered unto the LORD, all that anyone gives of such unto the LORD shall be holy.

¹⁰ He shall not alter it nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he shall exchange one animal for another, then it and the one exchanged thereof shall belong to the sanctuary.

¹¹ And if it is an unclean animal, which cannot be offered as a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the animal before the priest;

¹² and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; according to the estimation of the priest, so shall it be.

¹³ But if it must be redeemed, then they shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

¹⁴ ¶ And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

¹⁵ And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

¹⁶ And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof; one homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

¹⁷ If he sanctifies his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

¹⁸ But if he sanctifies his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain until the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

¹⁹ And if he that sanctified the field desires to redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

²⁰ But if he should not redeem the field, and if the field is sold to another, it shall not be redeemed any more;

²¹ but the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field of anathema; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.

²² And if anyone sanctifies unto the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his inheritance,

²³ then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation until the year of the jubilee; and that day he shall give thy assigned price, as a holy thing unto the LORD.

²⁴ In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto the one of whom it was bought, unto whom the inheritance of the land did belong.

²⁵ And all thy values shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

²⁶ ¶ But the firstborn of the animals, which because it is firstborn belongs to the LORD, no one shall sanctify it; whether it is ox or sheep, it is the LORD’s.

²⁷ And if it is of an unclean beast, it shall be ransomed according to thy estimation, and they shall add a fifth part unto it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

²⁸ But no anathema, that anyone shall devote unto the LORD of all that they have of men and animals and of the fields of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. All anathema is most holy unto the LORD.

²⁹ Any anathema of men which is devoted shall not be ransomed, but shall surely be put to death.

³⁰ And all the tithes of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s; it is holiness unto the LORD.

³¹ And if anyone desires to redeem anything of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

³² And concerning the tithe of the cows or of the sheep, even of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holiness unto the LORD.

³³ He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he changes it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

³⁴ These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.

1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the testimony, on the first of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

² Take the sum of all the congregation of the sons of Israel by their families, by the houses of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls,

³ from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel; thou and Aaron shall number them by their hosts.

⁴ And with you there shall be a man of every tribe, every one head of the house of his fathers.

⁵ And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben, Elizur, the son of Shedeur;

⁶ of Simeon, Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai;

⁷ of Judah, Nahshon, the son of Amminadab;

¹⁷ ¶ And Moses and Aaron took these men who were designated by their names,

¹⁸ and they assembled all the congregation together on the first of the second month, and they were gathered by their lineages, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls,

¹⁹ as the LORD had commanded Moses; and he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

²⁰ And the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

²⁸ Of the sons of Issachar, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,

²⁹ those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.

³¹ those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.

³² Of the sons of Joseph: of the sons of Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,

³³ those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand five hundred; and

³⁴ of the sons of Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,

³⁵ those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty-two thousand two hundred.

³⁶ Of the sons of Benjamin, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,

⁴⁴ ¶ These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the twelve princes of Israel, one man for each house of his fathers.

⁴⁵ So were all those that were numbered of the sons of Israel, by the houses of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;

⁴⁶ all those that were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.

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

⁴⁸ For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,

⁴⁹ Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the sons of Israel;

⁵⁰ But thou shalt place the Levites in the tabernacle of the testimony and over all the vessels thereof and over all things that belong to it; they shall bear the tabernacle and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister in it and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

⁵¹ And when the tabernacle departs, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.

⁵² And the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, each man by his own camp and each man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

⁵³ But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of the testimony that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the sons of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.

⁵⁴ And the sons of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

2 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

² Each man of the sons of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, according to the ensigns of the houses of their fathers; round about the tabernacle of the testimony shall they pitch.

³ ¶ These shall pitch toward the sunrise, on the east: the standard of the camp of Judah throughout their hosts and the prince of the sons of Judah, Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.

⁴ His host, with those that were numbered of them, were seventy-four thousand six hundred.

⁵ Next to him shall pitch those of the tribe of Issachar and the prince of the sons of Issachar, Nethaneel, the son of Zuar.

⁶ His host, with those that were numbered thereof, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.

⁷ And the tribe of Zebulun and the prince of the sons of Zebulun, Eliab, the son of Helon.

⁸ His host, with those that were numbered thereof, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.

⁹ All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were one hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred, by their hosts. These shall set forth first.

¹⁰ The standard of the camp of Reuben shall be towards the Negev, by their hosts and the prince of the sons of Reuben, Elizur, the son of Shedeur.

¹¹ His host, with those that were numbered thereof, were forty-six thousand five hundred.

¹² And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon and the prince of the sons of Simeon, Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.

¹³ His host, with those that were numbered of them, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.

¹⁴ And the tribe of Gad and the prince of the sons of Gad, Eliasaph, the son of Reuel.

¹⁵ His host, with those that were numbered of them, were forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.

¹⁶ All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were one hundred fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty, by their hosts. And they shall set forth second.

¹⁷ Then shall set forward the tabernacle of the testimony, the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps, in the manner that they encamp, so shall they set forward, each one in his place by their standards.

¹⁸ The standard of the camp of Ephraim by his hosts, on the west and the prince of the sons of Ephraim, Elishama, the son of Ammihud.

¹⁹ His host, with those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand five hundred.

²⁰ By him shall be the tribe of Manasseh and the prince of the sons of Manasseh, Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.

²¹ His host, with those that were numbered of them, were thirty-two thousand two hundred.

²² And the tribe of Benjamin and the prince of the sons of Benjamin, Abidan, the son of Gideoni.

²³ His host, with those that were numbered of them, were thirty-five thousand four hundred.

²⁴ All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were one hundred and eight thousand one hundred, by their hosts. And they shall go forward third.

²⁵ The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the Aquilon by their hosts and the prince of the sons of Dan, Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.

²⁶ His host, with those that were numbered of them, were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.

²⁷ Next to him shall camp those of the tribe of Asher and the prince of the sons of Asher, Pagiel, the son of Ocran.

²⁸ His host, with those that were numbered of them, were forty-one thousand five hundred.

²⁹ And the tribe of Naphtali and the prince of the sons of Naphtali, Ahira, the son of Enan.

³⁰ His host, with those that were numbered of them, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.

³¹ All those that were numbered in the camp of Dan were one hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall go last behind their standards.

³² These are those who were numbered of the sons of Israel by the houses of their fathers; all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.

³³ But the Levites were not numbered among the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

³⁴ And the sons of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses; so they pitched by their standards, and so they marched, each one after their families, according to the houses of their fathers.

3 ¶ These also are the generations of Aaron and of Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.

² And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab, the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

³ These are the names of the sons of Aaron, anointed priests, whose hands he filled to administer the priesthood.

⁴ But Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the sight of Aaron, their father.

⁵ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

⁶ Bring the tribe of Levi near and present them before Aaron, the priest, that they may minister unto him.

⁷ And they shall keep his commandment and the commandment of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the testimony, to minister in the service of the tabernacle.

⁸ And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony and the charge of the sons of Israel, to minister in the service of the tabernacle.

⁹ And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons; they are completely given unto him out of the sons of Israel.

¹⁰ And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons that they shall guard their priesthood; and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.

¹¹ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

¹² Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of all the firstborn that open the womb among the sons of Israel; therefore the Levites shall be mine;

¹³ because all the firstborn are mine; from the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of men and of animals; they shall be mine: I am the LORD.

¹⁴ ¶ The LORD also spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

¹⁵ Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers, by their families; thou shalt number every male from a month old and upward.

¹⁶ And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.

¹⁷ And these were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.

¹⁸ And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.

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

²⁰ And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the houses of their fathers.

²¹ Of Gershon was the family of Libni and the family of Shimei; these are the families of Gershon.

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

²³ The families of Gershon shall pitch behind the tabernacle to the west;

²⁴ and the prince of the house of the father of the Gershonites, Eliasaph, son of Lael.

²⁵ And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the testimony shall be the tabernacle and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,

²⁶ and the hangings of the court and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

²⁷ And of Kohath was the family of Amram and the family of Izehar and the family of Hebron and the family of Uzziel; these are the families of the Kohathites.

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

²⁹ The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle towards the Negev;

³⁰ and the prince of the house of the father of the families of Kohath, Elizaphan, son of Uzziel.

³¹ And their charge shall be the ark and the table and the lampstand and the altars and the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the veil, with all its service.

³² And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, shall be principal over the princes of the Levites and have the oversight of those that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

³³ Of Merari was the family of Mahli and the family of Mushi; these are the families of Merari.

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

³⁵ and the prince of the house of the father of the families of Merari, Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle to the Aquilon.

³⁶ And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle and the bars thereof and the pillars thereof and the sockets thereof and all the instruments thereof, with all its service,

³⁷ and the pillars of the court round about and their sockets and their stakes and their cords.

³⁸ And those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, before the tabernacle of the testimony towards the sunrise, shall be Moses and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the sons of Israel; and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.

³⁹ All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron, according to the word of the LORD, numbered by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.

⁴⁰ ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the sons of Israel from a month old and upward and take the number of their names.

⁴¹ And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel and the animals of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the animals of the sons of Israel.

⁴² And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.

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

⁴⁴ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

⁴⁵ Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel and the animals of the Levites instead of their animals, and the Levites shall be mine; I am the LORD.

⁴⁶ And for the ransoms of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, who are more than the Levites,

⁴⁷ thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them (the shekel is of twenty gerahs).

⁴⁸ And thou shalt give the money, of the ransoms of the odd number of them, unto Aaron and to his sons.

⁴⁹ And Moses took the ransom money of those that were over and above the ones that were redeemed by the Levites

⁵⁰ and received of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, in money, a thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

⁵¹ And Moses gave the money of the ransoms unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

4 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

² Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the houses of their fathers,

³ from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do work in the tabernacle of the testimony.

⁴ This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the testimony, in the holy of holies:

⁵ When the camp is to be moved, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil and cover the ark of testimony with it

⁶ and shall put thereon the covering of badgers’ skins and shall spread over it a cloth entirely of blue and shall put in the staves thereof.

⁷ And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue and put thereon the dishes and the spoons and the bowls and covers to cover withal; and the continual bread shall be thereon.

⁸ And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skins and shall put in the staves thereof.

⁹ And they shall take a cloth of blue and cover the lampstand of the light and its lamps and its tongs and its snuffdishes and all the oil vessels thereof with which they minister unto it;

¹⁰ and they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers’ skins and shall put it upon a bar.

¹¹ And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue and cover it with a covering of badgers’ skins and shall put in the staves thereof;

¹² and they shall take all the vessels of ministry with which they minister in the sanctuary and put them in a cloth of blue and cover them with a covering of badgers’ skins and shall put them on a bar.

¹³ And they shall take away the ashes with the burnt fat from the altar and spread a purple cloth thereon

¹⁴ and they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof with which they minister about it: the censers, the fleshhooks, the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers’ skins 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 vessels of the sanctuary when the camp is to set forward, after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it, but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the testimony.

¹⁶ But unto the care of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, shall be the oil of the light and the aromatic incense and the daily present and the anointing oil and the care of all the tabernacle and of all that is therein, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.

¹⁷ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

¹⁸ Ye shall not cut off the tribe of the families of Kohath from among the Levites,

¹⁹ but thus do unto them that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the holy of holies: Aaron and his sons shall come and place each one of them in his ministry and to his burden.

²⁰ They shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.

²¹ ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

²² Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;

²³ from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them, all that enter in to the host to do work in the tabernacle of the testimony.

²⁴ This shall be the service of the families of Gershon, to minister and to bear burdens:

²⁵ They shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle and the tabernacle of the testimony, its covering, and the covering of badgers’ skins that is over it above and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the testimony

²⁶ and the hangings of the court and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords and all the instruments of their service and all that is made for them; so shall they serve.

²⁷ According to the word of Aaron and his sons shall be all the ministry of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.

²⁸ This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the testimony, and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

²⁹ As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the houses of their fathers.

³⁰ From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, all that enters into the host, to do work in the tabernacle of the testimony.

³¹ And this shall be the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the testimony: the boards of the tabernacle and the bars thereof and the pillars thereof and sockets thereof,

³² and the pillars of the court round about and their sockets and their stakes and their cords with all their instruments and with all their service; and ye shall number by name the vessels of the charge of their burden.

³³ This shall be the service of the families of the sons of Merari for all their ministry, in the tabernacle of the testimony, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

³⁴ ¶ So Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation numbered the sons of Kohath after their families and after the houses of their fathers,

³⁵ from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to minister in the tabernacle of the testimony.

³⁶ And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.

³⁷ These were the numbered of the families of Kohath, all that minister in the tabernacle of the testimony, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

³⁸ And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families and by the houses of their fathers,

³⁹ from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to minister in the tabernacle of the testimony,

⁴⁰ those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the houses of their fathers, were two thousand six hundred and thirty.

⁴¹ These were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all that minister in the tabernacle of the testimony, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD.

⁴² And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the houses of their fathers,

⁴³ from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to minister in the tabernacle of the testimony,

⁴⁴ those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand two hundred.

⁴⁵ These were those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

⁴⁶ All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, after their families and after the houses of their fathers,

⁴⁷ from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to serve in the service and to bear a burden in the tabernacle of the testimony,

⁴⁸ those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand five hundred and eighty.

⁴⁹ As the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, they were numbered, each one according to his ministry and according to his burden; thus were they numbered of Moses, as the LORD commanded him.

5 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

² Command the sons of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper and every one that has an issue and anyone who is defiled by the dead.

³ Both male and female shall ye put out; ye shall put them outside the camp; that they not defile the camp of those among whom I dwell.

⁴ And the sons of Israel did so and put them outside the camp; as the LORD spoke unto Moses, so did the sons of Israel.

⁵ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

⁶ Speak unto the sons of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person is guilty,

⁷ then they shall confess their sin which they have done, and he shall recompense his guilt with the principal thereof and add unto it the fifth part thereof and give it unto him against whom he is guilty.

⁸ But if that man has no redeemer to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest, beside the ram of the reconciliations, whereby reconciliation shall be made for him.

⁹ And every offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.

¹⁰ And every man’s sanctified things shall be his; likewise whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.

¹¹ ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

¹² Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, If any man’s wife goes astray and betrays him,

¹³ and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hid from the eyes of her husband because she contaminated herself in secret, and there is no witness against her, neither was she taken in the act;

¹⁴ if a spirit of jealousy should come upon him, and he becomes jealous of his wife, and she is defiled; or if a spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he becomes jealous of his wife, and she is not defiled,

¹⁵ then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is a present of jealousy, a present of remembrance, which brings iniquity to memory.

¹⁶ And the priest shall bring her near and set her before the LORD.

¹⁷ Then the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take and put it into the water.

¹⁸ And the priest shall cause the woman to stand before the LORD and shall uncover the woman’s head and put the present of remembrance in her hands, which is the present of jealousy; and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that brings the curse.

¹⁹ And the priest shall charge her by an oath and say unto the woman, If no man has lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone astray from thy husband to uncleanness, thou shalt be clean from this bitter water that brings the curse.

²⁰ But if thou hast gone astray from thy husband and hast defiled thyself and some man has placed seed in thee other than thine husband,

²¹ (the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing) and the priest shall say unto the woman, Let the LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people when the LORD makes thy thigh to fail and thy belly to swell,

²² and this water that causes the curse shall go into thy bowels and cause thy belly to swell and thy thigh to fail. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

²³ And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water;

²⁴ and he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her as bitter.

²⁵ Then the priest shall take the present of jealousy out of the woman’s hand and shall wave the offering before the LORD and offer it before the altar.

²⁶ And the priest shall take a handful of the present, in memory of her, and incense it upon the altar and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.

²⁷ He shall give her, therefore, the water to drink, and it shall come to pass, that if she is defiled and has betrayed her husband, that the water that works the curse shall enter into her in bitterness, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall fail; and that woman shall be a curse among her people.

²⁸ But if the woman is not defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free and shall conceive seed.

²⁹ This is the law of jealousies when a woman goes astray, being under the power of her husband, and is defiled;

³⁰ or of the husband upon whom a spirit of jealousy comes, and he is jealous over his wife; he shall then present the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute in her all this law.

³¹ And that man shall be free from iniquity, and the woman shall bear her iniquity.

6 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to dedicate themselves unto the LORD,

³ they shall separate themselves from wine and strong drink and shall drink no vinegar of wine or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall they drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes or dried.

⁴ All the days of their Nazariteship they shall eat nothing that is made of the wine vine, from the kernels even to the husk.

⁵ All the days of the vow of their Nazariteship no razor shall come upon their head, until the days are fulfilled of their separation unto the LORD; they shall be holy and shall let the locks of the hair of their head grow.

⁶ All the days that they separate themselves unto the LORD they shall come in unto no dead body.

⁷ They shall not make themselves unclean for their father or for their mother, for their brother or for their sister, when they die because the consecration of their God is upon their head.

⁸ All the days of their Nazariteship they are holy unto the LORD.

⁹ And if anyone dies very suddenly beside them, and they have defiled the head of their Nazariteship, then they shall shave their head in the day of their cleansing; on the seventh day shall they shave it.

¹⁰ And on the eighth day they shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,

¹¹ and the priest shall offer the one as the sin and the other as a burnt offering and reconcile the one that sinned upon the dead and shall sanctify their head that same day.

¹² And they shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of their Nazariteship and shall bring a lamb of the first year for their guilt; but the days that were before shall be lost because their Nazariteship was defiled.

¹³ This is, therefore, the law of the Nazarite, in the day in which their Nazariteship is fulfilled: they shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony;

¹⁴ and they shall offer their offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish as the sin and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,

¹⁵ and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil and their present and their drink offerings.

¹⁶ And the priest shall bring them before the LORD and shall offer his sin and his burnt offering;

¹⁷ and he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall likewise offer his present and his drink offering.

¹⁸ Then the Nazarite shall shave the head of their Nazariteship at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony and shall take the hair of the head of their Nazariteship and put it upon the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace.

¹⁹ Then the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram and one unleavened cake out of the basket and one unleavened wafer and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite after their Nazariteship is shaven;

²⁰ and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD, which shall be a holy thing of the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder; and after that the Nazarite shall drink wine.

²¹ This is the law of the Nazarite who made a vow of their offering unto the LORD for their Nazariteship, beside that which their means allows, according to the vow which they vowed, so they must do according to the law of their Nazariteship.

²² ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

²³ Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, Thus shall ye bless the sons of Israel, saying unto them,

²⁴ The LORD bless thee and keep thee;

²⁵ the LORD make his face shine upon thee and have mercy on thee;

²⁶ the LORD lift up his face upon thee, and place peace in thee.

²⁷ And they shall place my name upon the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.

7 ¶ And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle and had anointed it and sanctified it with all its vessels; likewise having anointed and sanctified the altar, with all its vessels;

² that the princes of Israel, heads of the houses of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over those that were numbered, offered;

³ and they brought their offerings before the LORD, six covered wagons and twelve oxen: a wagon for each two of the princes and for each one an ox, which they offered before the tabernacle.

⁴ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

⁵ Take it from them, and it shall be for the service of the tabernacle of the testimony; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to each one according to his ministry.

⁶ Then Moses received the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.

⁷ Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their ministry;

⁸ and four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according to their ministry, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

⁹ But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none; because the ministry of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.

¹⁰ ¶ And the princes offered at the dedication of the altar the day that it was anointed; even the princes offered their offering before the altar.

¹¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, at the dedication of the altar.

¹² And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah.

⁸ Then let them take a young bullock with his present, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou offer as sin.

¹⁰ and thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD, and the sons of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites;

¹¹ and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave offering of the sons of Israel, and they shall serve in the ministry of the LORD.

¹² And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks; and thou shalt offer the one as the sin, and the other as a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to reconcile the Levites.

¹³ And thou shalt cause the Levites to present themselves before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.

¹⁴ And thou shalt separate the Levites from among the sons of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.
