THESE also are the generations of Aharon and Mosheh in the day that Yahuah spoke with Mosheh in Mount Ciynai.
And these are the names of the sons of Aharon; Nadav the firstborn, and Aviyhu, El`azar, and Iythamar.
These are the names of the sons of Aharon, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
And Nadav and Aviyhu died before Yahuah, when they offered strange fire before Yahuah, in the wilderness of Ciynai, and they had no children: and El`azar and Iythamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aharon their father.
And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
Bring the tribe of Leviy near, and present them before Aharon the priest, that they may minister unto him.
And they shall guard his watch, and the watch of the whole assembly before the Tabernacle of the assembly, to do the service of the Tabernacle.
And they shall guard all the instruments of the Tabernacle of the assembly, and the charge of the children of Yashar'el, to do the service of the Tabernacle.
And you shall give the Leviyiym unto Aharon and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Yashar'el.
And you shall appoint Aharon and his sons, and they shall guard their priest's office: and the stranger that comes nigh shall be put to death.
And Yahuah spoke unto El-Mosheh, saying,
And I, behold, I have taken the Leviyiym from among the children of Yashar'el instead of all the firstborn that opens the womb among the children of Yashar'el: therefore the Leviyiym shall be mine;
Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Mitsrayim I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Yashar'el, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am Yahuah.
And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh in the wilderness of Ciynai, saying,
Number the children of Leviy after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shall you number them.
And Mosheh numbered them according to the Word of Yahuah, as he was commanded.
And these were the sons of Leviy by their names; Gershon, and Qohath, and Merariy.
And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Livniy, and Shim'iy.
And the sons of Qohath by their families; Amram, and Yitshar, Chevron, and Uzziy'el.
And the sons of Merariy by their families; Machliy, and Mushiy. These are the families of the Leviyiym according to the house of their fathers.
Of Gershon was the family of the Livniyiym, and the family of the Shim'iyiym: these are the families of the Gereshunniym.
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.
The families of the Gereshunniym shall pitch behind the Tabernacle westward.
And the chief of the house of the father of the Gereshunniym shall be Elyacaph the son of La'el.
And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the Tabernacle of the assembly shall be the Tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the Tabernacle of the assembly,
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.
And of Qohath was the family of the Amramiym, and the family of the Yitshariym, and the family of the Chevroniym, and the family of the Uzziy'eliym: these are the families of the Qohathiym.
In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, guarding the watch of the sanctuary.
The families of the sons of Qohath shall pitch on the side of the Tabernacle southward.
And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Qohathiym shall be Eliytsaphan the son of Uzziy'el.
And their charge shall be the Ark, and the table, and the menorah, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.
And El`azar the son of Aharon the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Leviyiym, and have the oversight of them that guard the watch of the sanctuary.
Of Merariy was the family of the Machliym, and the family of the Mushiym: these are the families of Merariy.
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.
And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merariy was Tsuriy'el the son of Aviyhayil: these shall pitch on the side of the Tabernacle northward.
And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merariy 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 serves thereto,
And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
But those that encamp before the Tabernacle toward the east, even before the Tabernacle of the assembly eastward, shall be Mosheh, and Aharon and his sons, guarding the watch of the sanctuary for the watch of the children of Yashar'el; and the stranger that comes nigh shall be put to death.
All that were numbered of the Leviyiym, which Mosheh and Aharon numbered at the commandment of Yahuah, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
And Yahuah said unto El-Mosheh, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Yashar'el from a month old and upward, and take את the number of their names.
And you shall take the Leviyiym for me (I am Yahuah) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Yashar'el; and the cattle of the Leviyiym instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Yashar'el.
And Mosheh numbered, as Yahuah commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Yashar'el.
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.
And Yahuah spoke unto El-Mosheh, saying,
Take the Leviyiym instead of all the firstborn among the children of Yashar'el, and the cattle of the Leviyiym instead of their cattle; and the Leviyiym shall be mine: I am Yahuah.
And את for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Yashar'el, which are more than the Leviyiym;
You shall even take five sheqels apiece by the poll, after the sheqel of the sanctuary shall you take them: (the sheqel is twenty gerahs:)
And you shall give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aharon and to his sons.
And Mosheh took את the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Leviyiym:
Of the firstborn of the children of Yashar'el took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five sheqels, after the sheqel of the sanctuary:
And Mosheh gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aharon and to his sons, according to the Word of Yahuah, as Yahuah commanded Mosheh.
