Numbers 4

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 "{Take a census} of the descendants of Kohath from the midst of the descendants of Levi, according to their clans and {their families},

3 from {thirty years old} and above, up to {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to do the work in the tent of assembly.

4 This [is] the work of the descendants of Kohath in the tent of assembly, concerning the holiness of the sanctuary:

5 When setting out the camp, Aaron and his sons will go and lower the curtain of the covering and cover with it the ark of the testimony.

6 They will put on it a covering of {fine leather}, and they will spread a cloth of perfect blue over it, and they will place its poles.

7 And over the table of the presence they will spread [out] a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes, and libation bowls, and the pitchers of the libation; and the bread of continuity will be on it.

8 They will spread over it a scarlet cloth, and they will cover it with a covering of {fine leather}, and they will place its poles.

9 They will take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand for the light source, its lamps, a pair of its tongs, its small pans, and all the vessels of its oil with which they attend to it.

10 They will put it and all its vessels inside a covering of {fine leather} and put it on the carrying frame.

11 Over the altar of gold they will spread a blue cloth, and they will cover it with a covering of {fine leather} and place its poles.

12 They will take all the vessels of the cultic service with which they serve in the sanctuary and put [them] on a blue cloth, and they will cover them with a covering of {fine leather}; and they will put [them] on the carrying frame.

13 They will remove the fat-soaked ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth over it;

14 they will put on it all the vessels with which they serve, the fire pans, forks, shovels, and bowls--all the vessels of the altar. They will spread on it a covering of {fine leather}; and they will place its poles.

15 And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the vessels of the sanctuary when the camp sets out, the descendants of Kohath will come after to carry [these], but they must not touch the sanctuary, or they will die. These [are] the load of the descendants of Kohath in the tent of assembly.

16 "Eleazar son of Aaron the priest is to supervise the oil of the light source, the incense, {the regular grain offering}, the oil of anointment, the supervision of all the tabernacle and all that [is] in it, in the sanctuary and in its vessels."

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

18 "You must not cut off the tribe of the clan of the Kohathites from the midst of the Levites.

19 Do this to them and they will live and not die when they come near the most holy things. Aaron and his sons will go and appoint them, each one to his task and burden.

20 But they must not go and look {for a moment} at the holy objects."

21 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

22 "{Take a census} of the descendants of Gershon also, according to {their families} and clans,

23 from {those twenty years old} and above until {fifty years old}; you will muster them, all who come to help to do the work of the tent of assembly.

24 This [is] the work of the clans of the Gershonites: to serve and to carry.

25 They will carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the tent of assembly [and] its covering and the covering of {fine leather}, which {is on top of it}, and the curtain of the doorway of the tent of assembly,

26 and the curtains of the courtyard, and the covering for the doorway of the gate of the courtyard, which [is] all around on the tabernacle and altar, and their cords and all the vessels of their work; and all that is done to them they will do.

27 And all the work of the descendants of the Gershonites will be at {the command} of Aaron and his sons, for all they [are to] carry and for all their work, and you will appoint to them responsibility for all they [are to] carry.

28 This [is] the work of the clan of the descendants of the Gershonites in the tent of assembly, and their responsibility [lies] {under the direction} of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

29 "[For] the descendants of Merari according to their clans, according to {their families}, you will muster them;

30 from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}; you will muster them, all who come to do the work of the tent of assembly.

31 And this [is] the responsibility of {those who are to carry}, all their work in the tent of assembly: the frames of the tabernacle and its bars, pillars, and bases,

32 and the pillars of the courtyard all around, and their bases, pegs, and cords, with all their vessels and for all their work. You will appoint by name the vessels that they [are] responsible to carry.

33 This [is] the work of the clan of the descendants of Merari, for all their work in the tent of assembly {under the direction} of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest."

34 And Moses and Aaron mustered the leaders of the community according to the house of {their families},

35 from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}; everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly,

36 the {ones counted} were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.

37 These [were] those counted of the clans of the Kohathites, everyone who served in the tent of assembly whom Moses and Aaron mustered according to {the command} of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.

38 And the descendants of Gershon counted according to their clans and according to {their families},

39 from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly;

40 the {ones counted}, according to their clans, according to {their families}, were two thousand six hundred and thirty.

41 These [were] those counted of the clans of the descendants of Gershon, everyone who serves in the tent of assembly whom Moses and Aaron mustered according to {the command} of Yahweh.

42 Those counted of the clans of the descendants of Merari according to their clans, according to {their families},

43 from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly,

44 the {ones counted}, according to their clans, were three thousand two hundred.

45 These [were] those counted of the clans of the descendants of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron mustered according to {the command} of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.

46 All those counted of the Levites whom Moses and Aaron and all the leaders of Israel mustered according to their clans, according to {their families},

47 from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to do [the] work of the service carrying in the tent of assembly,

48 the {ones counted} were eighty thousand five hundred and eighty.

49 According to {the command} of Yahweh by the hand of Moses {they were mustered}, each man according to his service and according to their service and according to their burden; and so they were counted by him just as Yahweh commanded Moses.

New International Version NIV

1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron:

2 “Take a census of the Kohathite branch of the Levites by their clans and families.

3 Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.

4 “This is the work of the Kohathites at the tent of meeting: the care of the most holy things.

5 When the camp is to move, Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the shielding curtain and put it over the ark of the covenant law.

6 Then they are to cover the curtain with a durable leather, spread a cloth of solid blue over that and put the poles in place.

7 “Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes and bowls, and the jars for drink offerings; the bread that is continually there is to remain on it.

8 They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover that with the durable leather and put the poles in place.

9 “They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand that is for light, together with its lamps, its wick trimmers and trays, and all its jars for the olive oil used to supply it.

10 Then they are to wrap it and all its accessories in a covering of the durable leather and put it on a carrying frame.

11 “Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth and cover that with the durable leather and put the poles in place.

12 “They are to take all the articles used for ministering in the sanctuary, wrap them in a blue cloth, cover that with the durable leather and put them on a carrying frame.

13 “They are to remove the ashes from the bronze altar and spread a purple cloth over it.

14 Then they are to place on it all the utensils used for ministering at the altar, including the firepans, meat forks, shovels and sprinkling bowls. Over it they are to spread a covering of the durable leather and put the poles in place.

15 “After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move, only then are the Kohathites to come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy things or they will die. The Kohathites are to carry those things that are in the tent of meeting.

16 “Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest, is to have charge of the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the regular grain offering and the anointing oil. He is to be in charge of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including its holy furnishings and articles.”

17 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

18 “See that the Kohathite tribal clans are not destroyed from among the Levites.

19 So that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go into the sanctuary and assign to each man his work and what he is to carry.

20 But the Kohathites must not go in to look at the holy things, even for a moment, or they will die.”

21 The LORD said to Moses,

22 “Take a census also of the Gershonites by their families and clans.

23 Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.

24 “This is the service of the Gershonite clans in their carrying and their other work:

25 They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, that is, the tent of meeting, its covering and its outer covering of durable leather, the curtains for the entrance to the tent of meeting,

26 the curtains of the courtyard surrounding the tabernacle and altar, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard, the ropes and all the equipment used in the service of the tent. The Gershonites are to do all that needs to be done with these things.

27 All their service, whether carrying or doing other work, is to be done under the direction of Aaron and his sons. You shall assign to them as their responsibility all they are to carry.

28 This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the tent of meeting. Their duties are to be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.

29 “Count the Merarites by their clans and families.

30 Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.

31 As part of all their service at the tent, they are to carry the frames of the tabernacle, its crossbars, posts and bases,

32 as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, ropes, all their equipment and everything related to their use. Assign to each man the specific things he is to carry.

33 This is the service of the Merarite clans as they work at the tent of meeting under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.”

34 Moses, Aaron and the leaders of the community counted the Kohathites by their clans and families.

35 All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting,

36 counted by clans, were 2,750.

37 This was the total of all those in the Kohathite clans who served at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them according to the LORD’s command through Moses.

38 The Gershonites were counted by their clans and families.

39 All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting,

40 counted by their clans and families, were 2,630.

41 This was the total of those in the Gershonite clans who served at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them according to the LORD’s command.

42 The Merarites were counted by their clans and families.

43 All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting,

44 counted by their clans, were 3,200.

45 This was the total of those in the Merarite clans. Moses and Aaron counted them according to the LORD’s command through Moses.

46 So Moses, Aaron and the leaders of Israel counted all the Levites by their clans and families.

47 All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to do the work of serving and carrying the tent of meeting

48 numbered 8,580.

49 At the LORD’s command through Moses, each was assigned his work and told what to carry. Thus they were counted, as the LORD commanded Moses.
