2:1
And the LORD spake
unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

Every man of the
children of Israel shall pitch by

thousand and three thousand and five
hundred and fifty.
2:33
But the Levites were
not numbered among the children of
Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
2:34
And the children of
Israel did according to all that the
LORD commanded Moses: so they
pitched by their standards, and so
they set forward, every one after
their families, according to the
house of their fathers.
3:1
These also are
the generations of Aaron and Moses
in the day that the LORD
spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
3:2
And these are
the names of the sons of Aaron;
Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu,
Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3:3
These are the
names of the sons of Aaron, the
priests which were anointed, whom he
consecrated to minister in the
priest’s office.
3:4
And Nadab and Abihu
died before the LORD, when they
offered strange fire before the
LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai,
and they had no children: and
Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in
the priest’s office in the sight of
Aaron their father.
3:5
And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
3:6
Bring the tribe of
Levi near, and present them before
Aaron the priest, that they may
minister unto him.
3:7
And they shall keep
his charge, and the charge of the
whole congregation before the
tabernacle of the congregation, to
do the service of the tabernacle.
3:8
And they shall keep
all the instruments of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and
the charge of the children of
Israel, to do the service of the
tabernacle.
3:9
And thou shalt give
the Levites unto Aaron and to his
sons: they are wholly given
unto him out of the children of
Israel.
3:10
And thou shalt
appoint Aaron and his sons, and they
shall wait on their priest’s office:
and the stranger that cometh nigh
shall be put to death.
3:11
And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
3:12
And I, behold, I
have taken the Levites from among
the children of Israel instead of
all the firstborn that openeth the
matrix among the children of Israel:
therefore the Levites shall be mine;
3:13
Because all the
firstborn are mine; for
on the day that I smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt I
hallowed unto me all the firstborn
in Israel, both man and beast: mine
shall they be: I am the LORD.
3:14
And the LORD spake
unto Moses in the wilderness of
Sinai, saying,
3:15 Number the
children of Levi after the house of
their fathers, by their families:
every male from a month old and
upward shalt thou number them.
3:16 And Moses
numbered them according to the word
of the LORD, as he was commanded.
3:17
And these were the
sons of Levi by their names; Gershon,
and Kohath, and Merari.
3:18
And these are

And the sons of
Kohath by their families; Amram, and
Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
3:20
And the sons of
Merari by their families; Mahli, and
Mushi. These are the families
of the Levites according to the
house of their fathers.
3:21
Of Gershon was
the family of the Libnites, and the
family of the Shimites: these are
the families of the Gershonites.
3:22 Those that
were numbered of them, according to
the number of all the males, from a
month old and upward, even
those that were numbered of them
were seven thousand and five
hundred.
3:23 The
families of the Gershonites shall
pitch behind the tabernacle
westward.
3:24
And the chief of the
house of the father of the
Gershonites shall be Eliasaph
the son of Lael.
3:25
And the charge of
the sons of Gershon in the
tabernacle of the congregation
shall be the tabernacle, and the
tent, the covering thereof, and the
hanging for the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation,
3:26
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.
3:27
And of Kohath was
the family of the Amramites, and the
family of the Izeharites, and the
family of the Hebronites, and the
family of the Uzzielites: these
are the families of the
Kohathites.
3:28
In the number of all
the males, from a month old and
upward, were eight thousand
and six hundred, keeping the charge
of the sanctuary.
3:29
The families of the
sons of Kohath shall pitch on the
side of the tabernacle southward.
3:30 And the
chief of the house of the father of
the families of the Kohathites
shall be Elizaphan the son of
Uzziel.
3:31
And their charge
shall be the ark, and the table,
and the candlestick, and the altars,
and the vessels of the sanctuary
wherewith they minister, and the
hanging, and all the service
thereof.
3:32
And Eleazar the son
of Aaron the priest shall be
chief over the chief of the Levites,
and have the oversight of
them that keep the charge of the
sanctuary.
3:33
Of Merari was
the family of the Mahlites, and the
family of the Mushites: these are
the families of Merari.
3:34
And those that were
numbered of them, according to the
number of all the males, from a
month old and upward, were
six thousand and two hundred.
3:35
And the chief of the
house of the father of the families
of Merari was Zuriel the son
of Abihail: these shall pitch
on the side of the tabernacle
northward.
3:36 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 vessels thereof, and all
that serveth thereto,
3:37
And the pillars of
the court round about, and their
sockets, and their pins, and their
cords.
3:38
But those that
encamp before the tabernacle toward
the east, even before the
tabernacle of the congregation
eastward, shall be Moses, and
Aaron and his sons, keeping the
charge of the sanctuary for the
charge of the children of Israel;
and the stranger that cometh nigh
shall be put to death.
3:39
All that were
numbered of the Levites, which Moses
and Aaron numbered at the
commandment of the LORD, throughout
their families, all the males from a
month old and upward, were
twenty and two thousand.
3:40
And the LORD said
unto Moses, Number all the firstborn
of the males of the children of
Israel from a month old and upward,
and take the number of their names.
3:41
And thou shalt take
the Levites for me (I am the
LORD) instead of all the firstborn
among the children of Israel; and
the cattle of the Levites instead of
all the firstlings among the cattle
of the children of Israel.
3:42
And Moses numbered,
as the LORD commanded him, all the
firstborn among the children of
Israel.
3:43
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
and two thousand two hundred and
threescore and thirteen.
3:44
And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
3:45 Take the
Levites instead of all the firstborn
among the children of Israel, and
the cattle of the Levites instead of
their cattle; and the Levites shall
be mine: I am the LORD.
3:46
And for those that
are to be redeemed of the two
hundred and threescore and thirteen
of the firstborn of the children of
Israel, which are more than the
Levites;
3:47
Thou shalt even take
five shekels apiece by the poll,
after the shekel of the sanctuary
shalt thou take them: (the
shekel is twenty gerahs:)
3:48
And thou shalt give
the money, wherewith the odd number
of them is to be redeemed, unto
Aaron and to his sons.
3:49
And Moses took the
redemption money of them that were
over and above them that were
redeemed by the Levites:
3:50
Of the firstborn of
the children of Israel took he the
money; a thousand three hundred and
threescore and five shekels,
after the shekel of the sanctuary:
3:51
And Moses gave the
money of them that were redeemed
unto Aaron and to his sons,
according to the word of the LORD,
as the LORD commanded Moses.
4:1
And the LORD spake
unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
4:2
Take the sum of the
sons of Kohath from among the sons
of Levi, after their families, by
the house of their fathers,
4:3
From thirty years
old and upward even until fifty
years old, all that enter into the
host, to do the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4:4
This shall be
the service of the sons of Kohath in
the tabernacle of the congregation,
about the most holy things:
4:5
And when the camp
setteth forward, Aaron shall come,
and his sons, and they shall take
down the covering vail, and cover
the ark of testimony with it:
4:6
And shall put
thereon the covering of badgers’
skins, and shall spread over it
a cloth wholly of blue, and shall
put in the staves thereof.
4:7
And upon the table
of shewbread 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:
4:8
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.
4:9
And they shall take
a cloth of blue, and cover the
candlestick of the light, and his
lamps, and his tongs, and his
snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels
thereof, wherewith they minister
unto it:
4:10
And they shall put
it and all the vessels thereof
within a covering of badgers’ skins,
and shall put it upon a bar.
4:11
And upon the golden
altar they shall spread a cloth of
blue, and cover it with a covering
of badgers’ skins, and shall put to
the staves thereof:
4:12
And they shall take
all the instruments of ministry,
wherewith 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:
4:13
And they shall take
away the ashes from the altar, and
spread a purple cloth thereon:
4:14
And they shall put
upon it all the vessels thereof,
wherewith they minister about it,
even the censers, the fleshhooks,
and the shovels, and the basons, all
the vessels of the altar; and they
shall spread upon it a covering of
badgers skins, and put to the staves
of it.
4:15
And when Aaron and
his sons have made an end of
covering the sanctuary, and all the
vessels of the sanctuary, as 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 congregation.
4:16
And to the office of
Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
pertaineth the oil for the
light, and the sweet incense, and
the daily meat offering, and the
anointing oil, and the
oversight of all the tabernacle, and
of all that therein is, in
the sanctuary, and in the vessels
thereof.
4:17
And the LORD spake
unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
4:18
Cut ye not off the
tribe of the families of the
Kohathites from among the Levites:
4:19
But thus do unto
them, that they may live, and not
die, when they approach unto the
most holy things: Aaron and his sons
shall go in, and appoint them every
one to his service and to his
burden:
4:20
But they shall not go
in to see when the holy things are
covered, lest they die.
4:21
And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
4:22
Take also the sum of
the sons of Gershon, throughout the
houses of their fathers, by their
families;
4:23
From thirty years
old and upward until fifty years old
shalt thou number them; all that
enter in to perform the service, to
do the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation.
4:24 This is
the service of the families of the
Gershonites, to serve, and for
burdens:
4:25 And they
shall bear the curtains of the
tabernacle, and the tabernacle of
the congregation, his covering, and
the covering of the badgers’ skins
that is above upon it, and
the hanging for the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation,
4:26
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.
4:27
At the appointment
of Aaron and his sons shall be all
the service 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.
4:28
This is the service
of the families of the sons of
Gershon in the tabernacle of the
congregation: and their charge
shall be under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:29
As for the sons of
Merari, thou shalt number them after
their families, by the house of
their fathers;
4:30
From thirty years
old and upward even unto fifty years
old shalt thou number them, every
one that entereth into the service,
to do the work of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
4:31 And this
is the charge of their burden,
according to all their service in
the tabernacle of the congregation;
the boards of the tabernacle, and
the bars thereof, and the pillars
thereof, and sockets thereof,
4:32
And the pillars of
the court round about, and their
sockets, and their pins, and their
cords, with all their instruments,
and with all their service: and by
name ye shall reckon the instruments
of the charge of their burden.
4:33
This is the
service of the families of the sons
of Merari, according to all their
service, in the tabernacle of the
congregation, under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:34
And Moses and Aaron
and the chief of the congregation
numbered the sons of the Kohathites
after their families, and after the
house of their fathers,
4:35
From thirty years
old and upward even unto fifty years
old, every one that entereth into
the service, for the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation:
4:36 And those
that were numbered of them by their
families were two thousand seven
hundred and fifty.
4:37
These were
they that were numbered of the
families of the Kohathites, all that
might do service in the tabernacle
of the congregation, which Moses and
Aaron did number according to the
commandment of the LORD by the hand
of Moses.
4:38
And those that were
numbered of the sons of Gershon,
throughout their families, and by
the house of their fathers,
4:39
From thirty years
old and upward even unto fifty years
old, every one that entereth into
the service, for the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation,
4:40 Even those
that were numbered of them,
throughout their families, by the
house of their fathers, were two
thousand and six hundred and thirty.
4:41
These are they
that were numbered of the families
of the sons of Gershon, of all that
might do service in the tabernacle
of the congregation, whom Moses and
Aaron did number according to the
commandment of the LORD.
4:42
And those that were
numbered of the families of the sons
of Merari, throughout their
families, by the house of their
fathers,
4:43
From thirty years
old and upward even unto fifty years
old, every one that entereth into
the service, for the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation,
4:44 Even those
that were numbered of them after
their families, were three thousand
and two hundred.
4:45 These be
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.
4:46 All those
that were numbered of the Levites,
whom Moses and Aaron and the chief
of Israel numbered, after their
families, and after the house of
their fathers,
4:47
From thirty years
old and upward even unto fifty years
old, every one that came to do the
service of the ministry, and the
service of the burden in the
tabernacle of the congregation,
4:48
Even those that were
numbered of them, were eight
thousand and five hundred and
fourscore.
4:49
According to the
commandment of the LORD they were
numbered by the hand of Moses, every
one according to his service, and
according to his burden: thus were
they numbered of him, as the LORD
commanded Moses.
5:1
And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
5:2
Command the children
of Israel, that they put out of the
camp every leper, and every one that
hath an issue, and whosoever is
defiled by the dead:
5:3
Both male and female
shall ye put out, without the camp
shall ye put them; that they defile
not their camps, in the midst
whereof I dwell.
5:4
And the children of
Israel did so, and put them out
without the camp: as the LORD spake
unto Moses, so did the children of
Israel.
5:5
And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
5:6
Speak unto the
children of Israel, When a man or
woman shall commit any sin that men
commit, to do a trespass against the
LORD, and that person be guilty;
5:7
Then they shall
confess their sin which they have
done: and he shall recompense his
trespass with the principal thereof,
and add unto it the fifth part
thereof, and give it unto
him against whom he hath
trespassed.
5:8
But if the man have
no kinsman to recompense the
trespass unto, let the trespass be
recompensed unto the LORD, even
to the priest; beside the ram of the
atonement, whereby an atonement
shall be made for him.
5:9
And every offering
of all the holy things of the
children of Israel, which they bring
unto the priest, shall be his.
5:10
And every man’s
hallowed things shall be his:
whatsoever any man giveth the
priest, it shall be his.
5:11
And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
5:12
Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto
them, If any man’s wife go aside,
and commit a trespass against him,
5:13 And a man
lie with her carnally, and it be hid
from the eyes of her husband, and be
kept close, and she be defiled, and
there be no witness against
her, neither she be taken with
the manner;
5:14
And the spirit of
jealousy come upon him, and he be
jealous of his wife, and she be
defiled: or if the spirit of
jealousy come upon him, and he be
jealous of his wife, and she be not
defiled:
5:15
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 an
offering of jealousy, an offering of
memorial, bringing iniquity to
remembrance.
5:16
And the priest shall
bring her near, and set her before
the LORD:
5:17
And 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:
5:18 And the
priest shall set the woman before
the LORD, and uncover the woman’s
head, and put the offering of
memorial in her hands, which is
the jealousy offering: and the
priest shall have in his hand the
bitter water that causeth the curse:
5:19 And the
priest shall charge her by an oath,
and say unto the woman, If no man
have lain with thee, and if thou
hast not gone aside to uncleanness
with another instead of thy
husband, be thou free from this
bitter water that causeth the curse:
5:20
But if thou hast
gone aside to another instead
of thy husband, and if thou be
defiled, and some man have lain with
thee beside thine husband:
5:21
Then the priest
shall charge the woman with an oath
of cursing, and the priest shall say
unto the woman, The LORD make thee a
curse and an oath among thy people,
when the LORD doth make thy thigh to
rot, and thy belly to swell;
5:22
And this water that
causeth the curse shall go into thy
bowels, to make thy belly to
swell, and thy thigh to rot:
And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
5:23
And the priest shall
write these curses in a book, and he
shall blot them out with the
bitter water:
5:24
And he shall cause
the woman to drink the bitter water
that causeth the curse: and the
water that causeth the curse shall
enter into her, and become
bitter.
5:25 Then the
priest shall take the jealousy
offering out of the woman’s hand,
and shall wave the offering before
the LORD, and offer it upon the
altar:
5:26
And the priest shall
take an handful of the offering,
even the memorial thereof, and
burn it upon the altar, and
afterward shall cause the woman to
drink the water.
5:27
And when he hath
made her to drink the water, then it
shall come to pass, that, if
she be defiled, and have done
trespass against her husband, that
the water that causeth the curse
shall enter into her, and become
bitter, and her belly shall swell,
and her thigh shall rot: and the
woman shall be a curse among her
people.
5:28 And if the
woman be not defiled, but be clean;
then she shall be free, and shall
conceive seed.
5:29
This is the
law of jealousies, when a wife goeth
aside to another instead of
her husband, and is defiled;
5:30
Or when the spirit
of jealousy cometh upon him, and he
be jealous over his wife, and shall
set the woman before the LORD, and
the priest shall execute upon her
all this law.
5:31
Then shall the man be
guiltless from iniquity, and this
woman shall bear her iniquity.
6:1
And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
6:2
Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto
them, When either man or woman shall
separate themselves to vow a
vow of a Nazarite, to separate
themselves unto the LORD:
6:3
He shall separate
himself from wine and strong
drink, and shall drink no vinegar of
wine, or vinegar of strong drink,
neither shall he drink any liquor of
grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or
dried.
6:4
All the days of his
separation shall he eat nothing that
is made of the vine tree, from the
kernels even to the husk.
6:5
All the days of the
vow of his separation there shall no
razor come upon his head: until the
days be fulfilled, in the which he
separateth himself unto the
LORD, he shall be holy, and
shall let the locks of the hair of
his head grow.
6:6
All the days that he
separateth himself unto the
LORD he shall come at no dead body.
6:7
He shall not make
himself unclean for his father, or
for his mother, for his brother, or
for his sister, when they die:
because the consecration of his God
is upon his head.
6:8
All the days of his
separation he is holy unto
the LORD.
6:9
And if any man die
very suddenly by him, and he hath
defiled the head of his
consecration; then he shall shave
his head in the day of his
cleansing, on the seventh day shall
he shave it.
6:10 And on the
eighth day he shall bring two
turtles, or two young pigeons, to
the priest, to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation:
6:11
And the priest shall
offer the one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering,
and make an atonement for him, for
that he sinned by the dead, and
shall hallow his head that same day.
6:12
And he shall
consecrate unto the LORD the days of
his separation, and shall bring a
lamb of the first year for a
trespass offering: but the days that
were before shall be lost, because
his separation was defiled.
6:13
And this is
the law of the Nazarite, when the
days of his separation are
fulfilled: he shall be brought unto
the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation:
6:14
And he shall offer
his 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 for a sin offering,
and one ram without blemish for
peace offerings,
6:15
And a basket of
unleavened bread, cakes of fine
flour mingled with oil, and wafers
of unleavened bread anointed with
oil, and their meat offering, and
their drink offerings.
6:16
And the priest shall
bring them before the LORD,
and shall offer his sin offering,
and his burnt offering:
6:17
And he shall offer
the ram for a sacrifice of
peace offerings unto the LORD, with
the basket of unleavened bread: the
priest shall offer also his meat
offering, and his drink offering.
6:18
And the Nazarite
shall shave the head of his
separation at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and
shall take the hair of the head of
his separation, and put it in
the fire which is under the
sacrifice of the peace offerings.
6:19
And the priest shall
take the sodden 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 the
hair of his separation is
shaven:
6:20 And the
priest shall wave them for a
wave offering before the LORD: this
is holy for the priest, with
the wave breast and heave shoulder:
and after that the Nazarite may
drink wine.
6:21
This is the
law of the Nazarite who hath vowed,
and of his offering unto the
LORD for his separation, beside that
that his hand shall get:
according to the vow which he vowed,
so he must do after the law of his
separation.
6:22
And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
6:23
Speak unto Aaron and
unto his sons, saying, On this wise
ye shall bless the children of
Israel, saying unto them,
6:24 The LORD
bless thee, and keep thee:
6:25 The LORD
make his face shine upon thee, and
be gracious unto thee:
6:26 The LORD
lift up his countenance upon thee,
and give thee peace.
6:27
And they shall put my
name upon the children of Israel;
and I will bless them.
7:1
And it came to pass
on the day that Moses had fully set
up the tabernacle, and had anointed
it, and sanctified it, and all the
instruments thereof, both the altar
and all the vessels thereof, and had
anointed them, and sanctified them;
7:2
That the princes of
Israel, heads of the house of their
fathers, who were the princes
of the tribes, and were over them
that were numbered, offered:
7:3
And they brought
their offering before the LORD, six
covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a
wagon for two of the princes, and
for each one an ox: and they brought
them before the tabernacle.
7:4
And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
7:5
Take it of
them, that they may be to do the
service of the tabernacle of the
congregation; and thou shalt give
them unto the Levites, to every man
according to his service.
7:6
And Moses took the
wagons and the oxen, and gave them
unto the Levites.
7:7
Two wagons and four
oxen he gave unto the sons of
Gershon, according to their service:
7:8
And four wagons and
eight oxen he gave unto the sons of
Merari, according unto their
service, under the hand of Ithamar
the son of Aaron the priest.
7:9
But unto the sons of
Kohath he gave none: because the
service of the sanctuary belonging
unto them was that they
should bear upon their shoulders.
7:10
And the princes
offered for dedicating of the altar
in the day that it was anointed,
even the princes offered their
offering before the altar.
7:11
And the LORD said
unto Moses, They shall offer their
offering, each prince on his day,
for the dedicating of the altar.
7:12
