⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples of judgment for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.

¹⁴ Now the name of the smitten Israelitish man, who was smitten with the Madianitish woman, was Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon.

¹⁴ and ten of the chiefs with him; there was one chief of every household out of all the tribes of Israel; (the heads of families are the captains of thousands in Israel.)

³² And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love me. ³³ And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; and she called his name, Simeon. ³⁴ And she conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi. ³⁵ And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.

⁵ And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son. ⁶ And Rachel said, God has given judgment for me, and hearkened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan. ⁷ And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob. ⁸ And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim. ⁹ And Lea saw that she ceased from bearing, and she took Zelpha her maid, and gave her to Jacob for a wife; and he went in to her. ¹⁰ And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son. ¹¹ And Lea said, It is happily: and she called his name, Gad. ¹² And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son. ¹³ And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser. ¹⁴ And Ruben went in the day of barley-harvest, and found apples of mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Lea; and Rachel said to Lea her sister, Give me of thy son's mandrakes. ¹⁵ And Lea said, Is it not enough for thee that thou hast taken my husband, wilt thou also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes. ¹⁶ And Jacob came in out of the field at even; and Lea went forth to meet him, and said, Thou shalt come in to me this day, for I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes; and he lay with her that night. ¹⁷ And God hearkened to Lea, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son. ¹⁸ And Lea said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar, which is, Reward. ¹⁹ And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son. ²⁰ And Lea said, God has given me a good gift in this time; my husband will choose me, for I have born him six sons: and she called his name, Zabulon.

¹⁷ And it came to pass in her hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for thou shalt also have this son. ¹⁸ And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin. ¹⁹ So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem. ²⁰ And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day. ²¹ (OMITTED TEXT) ^{22 (35:21)} And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him. ^(35:22) And the sons of Jacob were twelve. ²³ The sons of Lea, the first-born of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon. ²⁴ And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin. ²⁵ And the sons of Balla, the hand-maid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim. ²⁶ And the sons of Zelpha, the hand-maid of Lea; Gad and Aser.

¹ And Jacob called his sons, and said to them, ² Assemble yourselves, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear me, sons of Jacob; hear Israel, hear your father. ³ Ruben, thou art my first-born, thou my strength, and the first of my children, hard to be endured, hard and self-willed. ⁴ Thou wast insolent like water, burst not forth with violence, for thou wentest up to the bed of thy father; then thou defiledst the couch, whereupon thou wentest up. ⁵ Symeon and Levi, brethren, accomplished the injustice of their cutting off. ⁶ Let not my soul come into their counsel, and let not mine inward parts contend in their conspiracy, for in their wrath they slew men, and in their passion they houghed a bull. ⁷ Cursed be their wrath, for it was willful, and their anger, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. ⁸ Juda, thy brethren have praised thee, and thy hands shall be on the back of thine enemies; thy father's sons shall do thee reverence. ⁹ Juda is a lion's whelp: from the tender plant, my son, thou art gone up, having couched thou liest as a lion, and as a whelp; who shall stir him up? ¹⁰ A ruler shall not fail from Juda, nor a prince from his loins, until there come the things stored up for him; and he is the expectation of nations. ¹¹ Binding his foal to the vine, and the foal of his ass to the branch of it, he shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape. ¹² His eyes shall be more cheering than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. ¹³ Zabulon shall dwell on the coast, and he shall be by a haven of ships, and shall extend to Sidon. ¹⁴ Issachar has desired that which is good; resting between the inheritances. ¹⁵ And having seen the resting place that it was good, and the land that it was fertile, he subjected his shoulder to labour, and became a husbandman. ¹⁶ Dan shall judge his people, as one tribe too in Israel. ¹⁷ And let Dan be a serpent in the way, besetting the path, biting the heel of the horse (and the rider shall fall backward), ¹⁸ waiting for the salvation of the Lord. ¹⁹ Gad, a plundering troop shall plunder him; but he shall plunder him, pursuing him closely. ²⁰ Aser, his bread shall be fat; and he shall yield dainties to princes. ²¹ Nephthalim is a spreading stem, bestowing beauty on its fruit. ²² Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me. ²³ Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached him, and the archers pressed hard upon him. ²⁴ But their bow and arrows were mightily consumed, and the sinews of their arms were slackened by the hand of the mighty one of Jacob; thence is he that strengthened Israel from the God of thy father; ²⁵ and my God helped thee, and he blessed thee with the blessing of heaven from above, and the blessing of the earth possessing all things, because of the blessing of the breasts and of the womb, ²⁶ the blessings of thy father and thy mother — it has prevailed above the blessing of the lasting mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the head of the brothers of whom he took the lead. ²⁷ Benjamin, as a ravening wolf, shall eat still in the morning, and at evening he gives food. ²⁸ All these are the twelve sons of Jacob; and their father spoke these words to them, and he blessed them; he blessed each of them according to his blessing. ²⁹ And he said to them, I am added to my people; ye shall bury me with my fathers in the cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Chettite, ³⁰ in the double cave which is opposite Mambre, in the land of Chanaan, the cave which Abraam bought of Ephron the Chettite, for a possession of a sepulchre. ³¹ There they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife; there they buried Isaac, and Rebecca his wife; there they buried Lea; ³² in the portion of the field, and of the cave that was in it, purchased of the sons of Chet. ³³ And Jacob ceased giving charges to his sons; and having lifted up his feet on the bed, he died, and was gathered to his people.

¹⁰ This is the order of the camp of Ruben; their forces shall be toward the south, and the prince of the children of Ruben shall be Elisur the son of Sediur.

³⁰ On the fourth day Elisur the son of Sediur, the prince of the children of Ruben.

¹⁸ And the order of the camp of Ruben set forward with their host; and over their host was Elisur the son of Sediur.

¹ And this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. ² And he said, The Lord is come from Sina, and has appeared from Seir to us, and has hasted out of the mount of Pharan, with the ten thousands of Cades; on his right hand were his angels with him. ³ And he spared his people, and all his sanctified ones are under thy hands; and they are under thee; and he received of his words ⁴ the law which Moses charged us, an inheritance to the assemblies of Jacob. ⁵ And he shall be prince with the beloved one, when the princes of the people are gathered together with the tribes of Israel. ⁶ Let Ruben live, and not die; and let him be many in number. ⁷ And this is the blessing of Juda; Hear, Lord, the voice of Juda, and do thou visit his people: his hands shall contend for him, and thou shalt be a help from his enemies. ⁸ And to Levi he said, Give to Levi his manifestations, and his truth to the holy man, whom they tempted in the temptation; they reviled him at the water of strife. ⁹ Who says to his father and mother, I have not seen thee; and he knew not his brethren, and he refused to know his sons: he kept thine oracles, and observed thy covenant. ¹⁰ They shall declare thine ordinances to Jacob, and thy law to Israel: they shall place incense in the time of thy wrath continually upon thine altar. ¹¹ Bless, Lord, his strength, and accept the works of his hands; break the loins of his enemies that have risen up against him, and let not them that hate him rise up. ¹² And to Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in confidence, and God overshadows him always, and he rested between his shoulders. ¹³ And to Joseph he said, His land is of the blessing of the Lord, of the seasons of sky and dew, and of the deeps of wells below, ¹⁴ and of the fruits of the changes of the sun in season, and of the produce of the months, ¹⁵ from the top of the ancient mountains, and from the top of the everlasting hills, ¹⁶ and of the fullness of the land in season: and let the things pleasing to him that dwelt in the bush come on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of him who was glorified above his brethren. ¹⁷ His beauty is as the firstling of his bull, his horns are the horns of a unicorn; with them he shall thrust the nations at once, even from the end of the earth: these are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these are the thousands of Manasse. ¹⁸ And to Zabulon he said, Rejoice, Zabulon, in thy going out, and Issachar in his tents. ¹⁹ They shall utterly destroy the nations, and ye shall call men there, and there offer the sacrifice of righteousness; for the wealth of the sea shall suckle thee, and so shall the marts of them that dwell by the sea-coast. ²⁰ And to Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlarges Gad: as a lion he rested, having broken the arm and the ruler. ²¹ And he saw his first-fruits, that there the land of the princes gathered with the chiefs of the people was divided; the Lord wrought righteousness, and his judgment with Israel. ²² And to Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp, and shall leap out of Basan. ²³ And to Nephthali he said, Nephthali has the fulness of good things; and let him be filled with blessing from the Lord: he shall inherit the west and the south. ²⁴ And to Aser he said, Aser is blessed with children; and he shall be acceptable to his brethren: he shall dip his foot in oil. ²⁵ His sandal shall be iron and brass; as thy days, so shall be thy strength. ²⁶ There is not any such as the God of the beloved; he who rides upon the heaven is thy helper, and the magnificent One of the firmament. ²⁷ And the rule of God shall protect thee, and that under the strength of the everlasting arms; and he shall cast forth the enemy from before thy face, saying, Perish. ²⁸ And Israel shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob, with corn and wine; and the sky shall be misty with dew upon thee. ²⁹ Blessed art thou, O Israel; who is like to thee, O people saved by the Lord? thy helper shall hold his shield over thee, and his sword is thy boast; and thine enemies shall speak falsely to thee, and thou shalt tread upon their neck.

¹² And they that encamp next to him shall be of the tribe of Symeon, and the prince of the sons of Symeon shall be Salamiel the son of Surisadai.

³⁶ On the fifth day the prince of the children of Symeon, Salamiel the son of Surisadai.

¹⁷ And I will go down, and speak there with thee; and I will take of the spirit that is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear together with thee the burden of the people, and thou shalt not bear them alone.

⁹ and the sons of Eliab, Namuel, and Dathan, and Abiron: these are renowned men of the congregation; these are they that rose up against Moses and Aaron in the gathering of Core, in the rebellion against the Lord.

⁷ And Saul said to his servants that stood by him, Hear now, ye sons of Benjamin, will the son of Jessae indeed give all of you fields and vineyards, and will he make you all captains of hundreds and captains of thousands?

⁵⁹ And these are they that went up from Thelmelech, Thelaresa, Cherub, Hedan, Emmer: and they were not able to tell the house of their fathers, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:

⁶¹ And these went up from Thelmeleth, Thelaresa, Charub, Eron, Jemer: but they could not declare the houses of their families, or their seed, whether they were of Israel.

² Take the sum of all the congregation of Israel according to their kindreds, according to the houses of their fathers' families, according to their number by their names, according to their heads: every male

¹ And it came to pass after the plague, that the Lord spoke to Moses and Eleazar the priest, saying, ² Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, according to the houses of their lineage, every one that goes forth to battle in Israel.

¹ And the Lord caused his anger to burn forth again in Israel, and Satan stirred up David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Juda. ² And the king said to Joab commander of the host, who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel and Juda, from Dan even to Bersabee, and number the people, and I will know the number of the people. ³ And Joab said to the king, Now may the Lord add to the people a hundred-fold as many as they are, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king desire this thing? ⁴ Nevertheless the word of the king prevailed against Joab an the captains of the host: And Joab and the captains of the host went out before the king to number the people of Israel. ⁵ And they went over Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right of the city which is in the midst of the valley of Gad and Eliezer. ⁶ And they came to Galaad, and into the land of Thabason, which is Adasai, and they came to Danidan and Udan, and compassed Sidon. ⁷ And they came to Mapsar of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Evite and the Chananite: and they came by the South of Juda to Bersabee. ⁸ And they compassed the whole land; and they arrived at Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. ⁹ And Joab gave in the number of the census of the people to the king: and Israel consisted of eight hundred thousand men of might that drew sword; and the men of Juda, five hundred thousand fighting men. ¹⁰ And the heart of David smote him after he had numbered the people; and David said to the Lord, I have sinned grievously, O Lord, in what I have now done: remove, I pray thee, the iniquity of thy servant, for I have been exceedingly foolish.

³² And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love me.

⁹ And the sons of Ruben; Enoch, and Phallus, Asron, and Charmi.

³ Ruben, thou art my first-born, thou my strength, and the first of my children, hard to be endured, hard and self-willed. ⁴ Thou wast insolent like water, burst not forth with violence, for thou wentest up to the bed of thy father; then thou defiledst the couch, whereupon thou wentest up.

¹⁰ This is the order of the camp of Ruben; their forces shall be toward the south, and the prince of the children of Ruben shall be Elisur the son of Sediur. ¹¹ His forces that were numbered, were forty-six thousand and five hundred.

²⁵ And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, the two sons of Jacob, Symeon and Levi, Dina's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city securely, and slew every male. ²⁶ And they slew Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth. ²⁷ But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister. ²⁸ And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatsoever were in the city, and whatsoever were in the plain. ²⁹ And they took captive all the persons of them, and all their store, and their wives, and plundered both whatever things there were in the city, and whatever things there were in the houses. ³⁰ And Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, Ye have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Chananites and the Pherezites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.

²⁴ And Joseph turned away from them, and wept; and again he came to them, and spoke to them; and he took Symeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.

¹⁰ and the sons of Symeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Aod, and Achin, and Saar, and Saul, the son of a Chananitish woman.

¹² And the sons of Judas; Er, and Aunan, and Selom, and Phares, and Zara: and Er and Aunan died in the land of Chanaan.

⁸ Juda, thy brethren have praised thee, and thy hands shall be on the back of thine enemies; thy father's sons shall do thee reverence. ⁹ Juda is a lion's whelp: from the tender plant, my son, thou art gone up, having couched thou liest as a lion, and as a whelp; who shall stir him up? ¹⁰ A ruler shall not fail from Juda, nor a prince from his loins, until there come the things stored up for him; and he is the expectation of nations. ¹¹ Binding his foal to the vine, and the foal of his ass to the branch of it, he shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape. ¹² His eyes shall be more cheering than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.

¹³ And the sons of Phares were Esron, and Jemuel. And the sons of Issachar; Thola, and Phua, and Asum, and Sambran.

²⁴ And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.

^{1 (36:44)} And Jacob dwelt in the land where his father sojourned, in the land of Chanaan. ^{2 (37:1)} And these are the generations of Jacob. And Joseph was seventeen years old, feeding the sheep of his father with his brethren, being young; with the sons of Balla, and with the sons of Zelpha, the wives of his father; and Joseph brought to Israel their father their evil reproach. ³ And Jacob loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was to him the son of old age; and he made for him a coat of many colours. ⁴ And his brethren having seen that his father loved him more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak anything peaceable to him. ⁵ And Joseph dreamed a dream, and reported it to his brethren. ⁶ And he said to them, Hear this dream which I have dreamed. ⁷ I thought ye were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and my sheaf stood up and was erected, and your sheaves turned round, and did obeisance to my sheaf. ⁸ And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us, or shalt thou indeed be lord over us? And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words. ⁹ And he dreamed another dream, and related it to his father, and to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream: as it were the sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars did me reverence. ¹⁰ And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamed? shall indeed both I and thy mother and thy brethren come and bow before thee to the earth? ¹¹ And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. ¹² And his brethren went to feed the sheep of their father to Sychem. ¹³ And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed their flock in Sychem? Come, I will send thee to them; and he said to him, Behold, I am here. ¹⁴ And Israel said to him, Go and see if thy brethren and the sheep are well, and bring me word; and he sent him out of the valley of Chebron, and he came to Sychem. ¹⁵ And a man found him wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? ¹⁶ And he said, I am seeking my brethren; tell me where they feed their flocks. ¹⁷ And the man said to him, They have departed hence, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothaim; and Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothaim. ¹⁸ And they spied him from a distance before he drew nigh to them, and they wickedly took counsel to slay him. ¹⁹ And each said to his brother, Behold, that dreamer comes. ²⁰ Now then come, let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits; and we will say, An evil wild beast has devoured him; and we shall see what his dreams will be. ²¹ And Ruben having heard it, rescued him out of their hands, and said, Let us not kill him. ²² And Ruben said to them, Shed not blood; cast him into one of these pits in the wilderness, but do not lay your hands upon him; that he might rescue him out of their hands, and restore him to his father. ²³ And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his many-coloured coat that was upon him. ²⁴ And they took him and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty, it had not water. ²⁵ And they sat down to eat bread; and having lifted up their eyes they beheld, and lo, Ismaelitish travellers came from Galaad, and their camels were heavily loaded with spices, and resin, and myrrh; and they went to bring them to Egypt. ²⁶ And Judas said to his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? ²⁷ Come, let us sell him to these Ismaelites, but let not our hands be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren hearkened. ²⁸ And the men, the merchants of Madian, went by, and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ismaelites for twenty pieces of gold; and they brought Joseph down into Egypt. ²⁹ And Ruben returned to the pit, and sees not Joseph in the pit; and he rent his garments. ³⁰ And he returned to his brethren and said, The boy is not; and I, whither am I yet to go? ³¹ And having taken the coat of Joseph, they slew a kid of the goats, and stained the coat with the blood. ³² And they sent the coat of many colours; and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found; know if it be thy son's coat or no. ^{33 (37:32)} And he recognised it, and said, It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast has devoured him; a wild beast has carried off Joseph. ^{34 (37:33)} And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days. ^{35 (37:34)} And all his sons and his daughters gathered themselves together, and came to comfort him; but he would not be comforted, saying, I will go down to my son mourning to Hades; and his father wept for him. ^{36 (37:35)} And the Madianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Petephres, the eunuch of Pharao, captain of the guard.

¹ And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down thither. ² And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian. ³ And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatsoever he happens to do. ⁴ And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph. ⁵ And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field. ⁶ And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance. ⁷ And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me. ⁸ But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him: ⁹ and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but thou, because thou art his wife — how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God? ¹⁰ And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her, ¹¹ it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within. ¹² And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth. ¹³ And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth, ¹⁴ that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us — he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice. ¹⁵ And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out. ¹⁶ So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house. ¹⁷ And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou broughtest in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with thee. ¹⁸ And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth. ¹⁹ And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did thy servant to me, that he was very angry. ²⁰ And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison. ²¹ And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison. ²² And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatsoever they do there, he did them. ²³ Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.

²⁰ And there were sons born to Joseph in the land of Egypt, whom Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him, even Manasses and Ephraim. And there were sons born to Manasses, which the Syrian concubine bore to him, even Machir. And Machir begot Galaad. And the sons of Ephraim, the brother of Manasses; Sutalaam, and Taam. And the sons of Sutalaam; Edom.

¹ And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Joseph, Behold, thy father is ill; and, having taken his two sons, Manasse and Ephraim, he came to Jacob. ² And it was reported to Jacob, saying, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh to thee; and Israel having strengthened himself, sat upon the bed. ³ And Jacob said to Joseph, My God appeared to me in Luza, in the land of Chanaan, and blessed me, ⁴ and said to me, Behold, I will increase thee, and multiply thee, and will make of thee multitudes of nations; and I will give this land to thee, and to thy seed after thee, for an everlasting possession. ⁵ Now then thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt, before I came to thee into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasse, as Ruben and Symeon they shall be mine. ⁶ And the children which thou shalt beget hereafter, shall be in the name of their brethren; they shall be named after their inheritances. ⁷ And as for me, when I came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, Rachel, thy mother, died in the land of Chanaan, as I drew night to the horse-course of Chabratha of the land of Chanaan, so as to come to Ephratha; and I buried her in the road of the course; this is Bethlehem. ⁸ And when Israel saw the sons of Joseph, he said, Who are these to thee? ⁹ And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God gave me here; and Jacob said, Bring me them, that I may bless them. ¹⁰ Now the eyes of Israel were dim through age, and he could not see; and he brought them near to him, and he kissed them, and embraced them. ¹¹ And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I have not been deprived of seeing thy face, and lo! God has showed me thy seed also. ¹² And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and they did reverence to him, with their face to the ground. ¹³ And Joseph took his two sons, both Ephraim in his right hand, but on the left of Israel, and Manasse on his left hand, but on the right of Israel, and brought them near to him. ¹⁴ But Israel having stretched out his right hand, laid it on the head of Ephraim, and he was the younger; and his left hand on the head of Manasse, guiding his hands crosswise. ¹⁵ And he blessed them and said, The God in whose sight my fathers were well pleasing, even Abraam and Isaac, the God who continues to feed me from my youth until this day; ¹⁶ the angel who delivers me from all evils, bless these boys, and my name shall be called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraam and Isaac; and let them be increased to a great multitude on the earth. ¹⁷ And Joseph having seen that his father put his right hand on the head of Ephraim — it seemed grievous to him; and Joseph took hold of the hand of his father, to remove it from the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasse. ¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, father; for this is the first-born; lay thy right-hand upon his head. ¹⁹ And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be exalted, but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. ²⁰ And he blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel be blessed, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasse; and he set Ephraim before Manasse. ²¹ And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God shall be with you, and restore you to the land of your fathers. ²² And I give to thee Sicima, a select portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and bow.

²² Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me. ²³ Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached him, and the archers pressed hard upon him. ²⁴ But their bow and arrows were mightily consumed, and the sinews of their arms were slackened by the hand of the mighty one of Jacob; thence is he that strengthened Israel from the God of thy father; ²⁵ and my God helped thee, and he blessed thee with the blessing of heaven from above, and the blessing of the earth possessing all things, because of the blessing of the breasts and of the womb, ²⁶ the blessings of thy father and thy mother — it has prevailed above the blessing of the lasting mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the head of the brothers of whom he took the lead.

¹⁸ The station of the camp of Ephraim shall be westward with their forces, and the head of the children of Ephraim shall be Elisama the son of Emiud. ¹⁹ His forces that were numbered, are forty thousand and five hundred.

^{35 (26:39)} And these are the children of Ephraim; to Suthala, the family of the Suthalanites; to Tanach, the family of the Tanachites. ^{36 (26:40)} These are the sons of Suthala; to Eden, the family of the Edenites. ^{37 (26:41)} These are the families of Ephraim according to their numbering, thirty-two thousand and five hundred: these are the families of the children of Joseph according to their families.

¹⁷ His beauty is as the firstling of his bull, his horns are the horns of a unicorn; with them he shall thrust the nations at once, even from the end of the earth: these are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these are the thousands of Manasse.

⁵ Now then thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt, before I came to thee into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasse, as Ruben and Symeon they shall be mine.

¹⁹ His forces that were numbered, are forty thousand and five hundred.

¹⁹ And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be exalted, but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. ²⁰ And he blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel be blessed, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasse; and he set Ephraim before Manasse.

²¹ His forces that were numbered, were thirty-two thousand and two hundred.

^{34 (26:38)} These are the families of Manasse according to their numbering, fifty-two thousand and seven hundred.

¹⁶ {\I And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader,} and it came to pass when he drew nigh to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labour. ¹⁷ And it came to pass in her hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for thou shalt also have this son. ¹⁸ And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.

²⁰ And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him.

¹ And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sina. ² And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the first-born; and Abiud, Eleazar and Ithamar. ³ These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests whom they consecrated to the priesthood. ⁴ And Nadab and Abiud died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sina; and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priests' office with Aaron their father. ⁵ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁶ Take the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt set them before Aaron the priest, and they shall minister to him, ⁷ and shall keep his charges, and the charges of the children of Israel, before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle. ⁸ And they shall keep all the furniture of the tabernacle of witness, and the charges of the children of Israel as to all the works of the tabernacle. ⁹ And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron, and to his sons the priests; they are given for a gift to me of the children of Israel. ¹⁰ And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the tabernacle of witness; and they shall keep their charge of priesthood, and all things belonging to the altar, and within the veil; and the stranger that touches them shall die. ¹¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹² Behold, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel, instead of every male that opens the womb from among the children of Israel: they shall be their ransom, and the Levites shall be mine. ¹³ For every first-born is mine; in the day in which I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to myself every first-born in Israel: both of man and beast, they shall be mine: I am the Lord. ¹⁴ And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, saying, ¹⁵ Take the number of the sons of Levi, according to the houses of their families, according to their divisions; number ye them every male from a month old and upwards. ¹⁶ And Moses and Aaron numbered them by the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded them. ¹⁷ And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gedson, Caath, and Merari. ¹⁸ And these are the names of the sons of Gedson according to their families; Lobeni and Semei: ¹⁹ and the sons of Caath according to their families; Amram and Issaar, Chebron and Oziel: ²⁰ and the sons of Merari according to their families, Mooli and Musi; these are the families of the Levites according to the houses of their families. ²¹ To Gedson belongs the family of Lobeni, and the family of Semei: these are the families of Gedson. ²² The numbering of them according to the number of every male from a month old and upwards, their numbering was seven thousand and five hundred. ²³ And the sons of Gedson shall encamp westward behind the tabernacle. ²⁴ And the ruler of the household of the family of Gedson was Elisaph the son of Dael. ²⁵ And the charge of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness was the tent and the veil, and the covering of the door of the tabernacle of witness, ²⁶ and the curtains of the court, and the veil of the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and the remainder of all its works. ²⁷ To Caath belonged one division, that of Amram, and another division, that of Issaar, and another division, that of Chebron, and another division, that of Oziel: these are the divisions of Caath, according to number. ²⁸ Every male from a month old and upward, eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charges of the holy things. ²⁹ The families of the sons of Caath, shall encamp beside the tabernacle toward the south. ³⁰ And the chief of the house of the families of the divisions of Caath, was Elisaphan the son of Oziel. ³¹ And their charge was the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and all the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they do holy service, and the veil, and all their works. ³² And the chief over the chief of the Levites, was Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, appointed to keep the charges of the holy things. ³³ To Merari belonged the family of Mooli, and the family of Musi: these are the families of Merari. ³⁴ The mustering of them according to number, every male from a month old and upwards, was six thousand and fifty. ³⁵ And the head of the house of the families of the division of Merari, was Suriel the son of Abichail: they shall encamp by the side of the tabernacle northwards. ³⁶ The oversight of the charge of the sons of Merari included the chapiters of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all their furniture, and their works, ³⁷ and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases, and their pins, and their cords. ³⁸ They that encamp before the tabernacle of witness on the east shall be Moses and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charges of the sanctuary according to the charges of the children of Israel; and the stranger that touches them, shall die. ³⁹ All the numbering of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the word of the Lord, according to their families, every male from a month old and upwards, were two and twenty thousand. ⁴⁰ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Count every first-born male of the children of Israel from a month old and upwards, and take the number by name. ⁴¹ And thou shalt take the Levites for me — I am the Lord — instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the first-born among the cattle of the children of Israel. ⁴² And Moses counted, as the Lord commanded him, every first-born among the children of Israel. ⁴³ And all the male first-born in number by name, from a month old and upwards, were according to their numbering twenty-two thousand and two hundred and seventy-three. ⁴⁴ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁴⁵ Take the Levites instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine; I am the Lord. ⁴⁶ And for the ransoms of the two hundred and seventy-three which exceed the Levites in number of the first-born of the sons of Israel; ⁴⁷ thou shalt even take five shekels a head; thou shalt take them according to the holy didrachm, twenty oboli to the shekel. ⁴⁸ And thou shalt give the money to Aaron and to his sons, the ransom of those who exceed in number among them. ⁴⁹ And Moses took the silver, the ransom of those that exceeded in number the redemption of the Levites.

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ² Take the sum of the children of Caath from the midst of the sons of Levi, after their families, according to the houses of their fathers' households; ³ from twenty-five years old and upward until fifty years, every one that goes in to minister, to do all the works in the tabernacle of witness. ⁴ And these are the works of the sons of Caath in the tabernacle of witness; it is most holy. ⁵ And Aaron and his sons shall go in, when the camp is about to move, and shall take down the shadowing veil, and shall cover with it the ark of the testimony. ⁶ And they shall put on it a cover, even a blue skin, and put on it above a garment all of blue, and shall put the staves through the rings. ⁷ And they shall put on the table set forth for shew-bred a cloth all of purple, and the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the vessels with which one offers drink-offerings; and the continual loaves shall be upon it. ⁸ And they shall put upon it a scarlet cloth, and they shall cover it with a blue covering of skin, and they shall put the staves into it. ⁹ And they shall take a blue covering, and cover the candlestick that gives light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its funnels, and all the vessels of oil with which they minister. ¹⁰ And they shall put it, and all its vessels, into a blue skin cover; and they shall put it on bearers. ¹¹ And they shall put a blue cloth for a cover on the golden altar, and shall cover it with a blue skin cover, and put in its staves. ¹² And they shall take all the instruments of service, with which they minister in the sanctuary: and shall place them in a cloth of blue, and shall cover them with blue skin covering, and put them upon staves. ¹³ And he shall put the covering on the altar, and they shall cover it with a cloth all of purple. ¹⁴ And they shall put upon it all the vessels with which they minister upon it, and the fire-pans, and the flesh-hooks, and the cups, and the cover, and all the vessels of the altar; and they shall put on it a blue cover of skins, and shall put in its staves; and they shall take a purple cloth, and cover the laver and its foot, and they shall put it into a blue cover of skin, and put it on bars. ¹⁵ And Aaron and his sons shall finish covering the holy things, and all the holy vessels, when the camp begins to move; and afterwards the sons of Caath shall go in to take up the furniture; but shall not touch the holy things, lest they die: these shall the sons of Caath bear in the tabernacle of witness. ¹⁶ Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is overseer — the oil of the light, and the incense of composition, and the daily meat-offering and the anointing oil, are his charge; even the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and all things that are in it in the holy place, in all the works. ¹⁷ And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ¹⁸ Ye shall not destroy the family of Caath from the tribe out of the midst of the Levites. ¹⁹ This do ye to them, and they shall live and not die, when they approach the holy of holies: Let Aaron and his sons advance, and they shall place them each in his post for bearing. ²⁰ And so they shall by no means go in to look suddenly upon the holy things, and die. ²¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²² Take the sum of the children of Gedson, and these according to the houses of their lineage, according to their families. ²³ Take the number of them from five and twenty years old and upwards until the age of fifty, every one that goes in to minister, to do his business in the tabernacle of witness. ²⁴ This is the public service of the family of Gedson, to minister and to bear. ²⁵ And they shall bear the skins of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of witness, and its veil, and the blue cover that was on it above, and the cover of the door of the tabernacle of witness. ²⁶ And all the curtains of the court which were upon the tabernacle of witness, and the appendages, and all the vessels of service that they minister with they shall attend to. ²⁷ According to the direction of Aaron and his sons shall be the ministry of the sons of Gedson, in all their ministries, and in all their works; and thou shalt take account of them by name in all things borne by them. ²⁸ This is the service of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness, and their charge by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ²⁹ The sons of Merari according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, take ye the number of them. ³⁰ Take the number of them from five and twenty years old and upwards until fifty years old, every one that goes in to perform the services of the tabernacle of witness. ³¹ And these are the charges of the things borne by them according to all their works in the tabernacle of witness: they shall bear the chapiters of the tabernacle, and the bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and the veil, and there shall be their sockets, and their pillars, and the curtain of the door of the tabernacle. ³² And they shall bear the pillars of the court round about, and there shall be their sockets, and they shall bear the pillars of the veil of the door of the court, and their sockets and their pins, and their cords, and all their furniture, and all their instruments of service: take ye their number by name, and all the articles of the charge of the things borne by them. ³³ This is the ministration of the family of the sons of Merari in all their works in the tabernacle of witness, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ³⁴ And Moses and Aaron and the rulers of Israel took the number of the sons of Caath according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage; ³⁵ from five and twenty years old and upwards to the age of fifty years, every one that goes in to minister and do service in the tabernacle of witness. ³⁶ And the numbering of them according to their families was two thousand, seven hundred and fifty. ³⁷ This is the numbering of the family of Caath, every one that ministers in the tabernacle of witness, as Moses and Aaron numbered them by the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. ³⁸ And the sons of Gedson were numbered according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, ³⁹ from five and twenty years old and upward till fifty years old, every one that goes in to minister and to do the services in the tabernacle of witness. ⁴⁰ And the numbering of them according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, was two thousand six hundred and thirty. ⁴¹ This is the numbering of the family of the sons of Gedson, every one who ministers in the tabernacle of witness; whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. ⁴² And also the family of the sons of Merari were numbered according to their divisions, according to the house of their fathers; ⁴³ from five and twenty years old and upward till fifty years old, every one that goes in to minister in the services of the tabernacle of witness. ⁴⁴ And the numbering of them according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, was three thousand and two hundred. ⁴⁵ This is the numbering of the family of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. ⁴⁶ All that were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron and the rulers of Israel numbered, namely, the Levites, according to their families and according to the houses of their lineage, ⁴⁷ from five and twenty years old and upward till fifty years old, every one that goes in to the service of the works, and the charge of the things that are carried in the tabernacle of witness. ⁴⁸ And they that were numbered were eight thousand five hundred and eighty. ⁴⁹ He reviewed them by the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses, appointing each man severally over their respective work, and over their burdens; and they were numbered, as the Lord commanded Moses.

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him, Whenever thou shalt set the lamps in order, the seven lamps shall give light opposite the candlestick. ³ And Aaron did so: on one side opposite the candlestick he lighted its lamps, as the Lord appointed Moses. ⁴ And this is the construction of the candlestick: it is solid, golden — its stem, and its lilies — all solid: according to the pattern which the Lord shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick. ⁵ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁶ Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them. ⁷ And thus shalt thou perform their purification: thou shalt sprinkle them with water of purification, and a razor shall come upon the whole of their body, and they shall wash their garments, and shall be clean. ⁸ And they shall take one calf of the herd, and its meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: and thou shalt take a calf of a year old of the herd for a sin-offering. ⁹ And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel. ¹⁰ And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites. ¹¹ And Aaron shall separate the Levites for a gift before the Lord from the children of Israel: and they shall be prepared to perform the works of the Lord. ¹² And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the calves; and thou shalt offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, to make atonement for them. ¹³ And thou shalt set the Levites before the Lord, and before Aaron, and before his sons; and thou shalt give them as a gift before the Lord. ¹⁴ And thou shalt separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and they shall be mine. ¹⁵ And afterwards the Levites shall go in to perform the works of the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt purify them, and present them before the Lord. ¹⁶ For these are given to me for a present out of the midst of the children of Israel: I have taken them to myself instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel that open every womb. ¹⁷ For every first-born among the children of Israel is mine, whether of man or beast: in the day in which I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to myself. ¹⁸ And I took the Levites in the place of every first-born among the children of Israel. ¹⁹ And I gave the Levites presented as a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of witness, and to make atonement for the children of Israel: thus there shall be none among the sons of Israel to draw nigh to the holy things. ²⁰ And Moses and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites as the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the sons of Israel did to them. ²¹ So the Levites purified themselves and washed their garments; and Aaron presented them as a gift before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to purify them. ²² And afterwards the Levites went in to minister in their service in the tabernacle of witness before Aaron, and before his sons; as the Lord appointed Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them. ²³ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁴ This is the ordinance for the Levites; From five and twenty years old and upward, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of witness. ²⁵ And from fifty years old the Levites shall cease from the ministry, and shall not work any longer. ²⁶ And his brother shall serve in the tabernacle of witness to keep charges, but he shall not do works: so shalt thou do to the Levites in their charges.

Eleazar his son, Phinees his son, Abisu his son, ⁵¹ Bokki his son, Ozi his son, Saraia his son, ⁵² Mariel his son, Amaria his son, Achitob his son, ⁵³ Sadoc his son, Achimaas his son. ⁵⁴ And these are their residences in their villages, in their coasts, to the sons of Aaron, to their family the Caathites: for they had the lot. ⁵⁵ And they gave them Chebron in the land of Juda, and its suburbs round about it. ⁵⁶ But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Chaleb the son of Jephonne. ⁵⁷ And to the sons of Aaron they gave the cities of refuge, even Chebron, and Lobna and her suburbs round about, and Selna and her suburbs, and Esthamo and her suburbs, ⁵⁸ and Jethar and her suburbs, and Dabir and her suburbs, ⁵⁹ and Asan and her suburbs, and Baethsamys and her suburbs: ⁶⁰ and of the tribe of Benjamin Gabai and her suburbs, and Galemath and her suburbs, and Anathoth and her suburbs: all their cities were thirteen cities according to their families. ⁶¹ And to the sons of Caath that were left of their families, there were given out of the tribe, namely, out of the half-tribe of Manasse, by lot, ten cities. ⁶² And to the sons of Gedson according to their families there were given thirteen cities of the tribe of Issachar, of the tribe of Aser, of the tribe of Nephthali, of the tribe of Manasse in Basan. ⁶³ And to the sons of Merari according to their families there were given, by lot, twelve cities of the tribe of Ruben, of the tribe of Gad, and of the tribe of Zabulon. ⁶⁴ So the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities and their suburbs. ⁶⁵ And they gave by lot out of the tribe of the children of Juda, and out of the tribe of the children of Symeon, and out of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, these cities which they call by name. ⁶⁶ And to the members of the families of the sons of Caath there were also given the cities of their borders out of the tribe of Ephraim. ⁶⁷ And they gave them the cities of refuge, Sychem and her suburbs in mount Ephraim, and Gazer and her suburbs, ⁶⁸ and Jecmaan and her suburbs, and Baethoron and her suburbs, ⁶⁹ and Aelon and her suburbs, and Gethremmon and her suburbs: ⁷⁰ and of the half-tribe of Manasse Anar and her suburbs, and Jemblaan and her suburbs, to the sons of Caath that were left, according to each several family. ⁷¹ To the sons of Gedson from the families of the half-tribe of Manasse they gave Golan of Basan and her suburbs, and Aseroth and her suburbs. ⁷² And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kedes and her suburbs, and Deberi and her suburbs, and Dabor and her suburbs, ⁷³ and Ramoth, and Aenan and her suburbs. ⁷⁴ And of the tribe of Aser;

Rammoth Galaad and her suburbs, and Maanaim and her suburbs, ⁸¹ and Esebon and her suburbs, and Jazer and her suburbs.

⁶ But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin among them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.

⁶² And there were according to their numbering, twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because they have no inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.

¹⁸ And he gave to Moses when he left off speaking to him in mount Sina the two tables of testimony, tables of stone written upon with the finger of God.

²⁶ then stood Moses at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him. ²⁷ And he says to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every one his brother, and every one his neighbour, and every one him that is nearest to him. ²⁸ And the sons of Levi did as Moses spoke to them, and there fell of the people in that day to the number of three thousand men. ²⁹ And Moses said to them, Ye have filled your hands this day to the Lord each one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to you.

^{21 (37:19)} And this was the construction of the tabernacle of witness, accordingly as it was appointed to Moses; so that the public service should belong to the Levites, through Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

⁵³ But let the Levites encamp round about the tabernacle of witness fronting it, and so there shall be no sin among the children of Israel; and the Levites themselves shall keep the guard of the tabernacle of witness.

¹⁷ And then the tabernacle of witness shall be set forward, and the camp of the Levites shall be between the camps; as they shall encamp, so also shall they commence their march, each one next in order to his fellow according to their companies.

¹ And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sina. ² And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the first-born; and Abiud, Eleazar and Ithamar. ³ These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests whom they consecrated to the priesthood. ⁴ And Nadab and Abiud died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sina; and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priests' office with Aaron their father. ⁵ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁶ Take the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt set them before Aaron the priest, and they shall minister to him, ⁷ and shall keep his charges, and the charges of the children of Israel, before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle. ⁸ And they shall keep all the furniture of the tabernacle of witness, and the charges of the children of Israel as to all the works of the tabernacle. ⁹ And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron, and to his sons the priests; they are given for a gift to me of the children of Israel. ¹⁰ And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the tabernacle of witness; and they shall keep their charge of priesthood, and all things belonging to the altar, and within the veil; and the stranger that touches them shall die.

²³ And the sons of Gedson shall encamp westward behind the tabernacle. ²⁴ And the ruler of the household of the family of Gedson was Elisaph the son of Dael. ²⁵ And the charge of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness was the tent and the veil, and the covering of the door of the tabernacle of witness, ²⁶ and the curtains of the court, and the veil of the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and the remainder of all its works. ²⁷ To Caath belonged one division, that of Amram, and another division, that of Issaar, and another division, that of Chebron, and another division, that of Oziel: these are the divisions of Caath, according to number. ²⁸ Every male from a month old and upward, eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charges of the holy things. ²⁹ The families of the sons of Caath, shall encamp beside the tabernacle toward the south. ³⁰ And the chief of the house of the families of the divisions of Caath, was Elisaphan the son of Oziel. ³¹ And their charge was the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and all the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they do holy service, and the veil, and all their works. ³² And the chief over the chief of the Levites, was Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, appointed to keep the charges of the holy things. ³³ To Merari belonged the family of Mooli, and the family of Musi: these are the families of Merari. ³⁴ The mustering of them according to number, every male from a month old and upwards, was six thousand and fifty. ³⁵ And the head of the house of the families of the division of Merari, was Suriel the son of Abichail: they shall encamp by the side of the tabernacle northwards. ³⁶ The oversight of the charge of the sons of Merari included the chapiters of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all their furniture, and their works, ³⁷ and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases, and their pins, and their cords. ³⁸ They that encamp before the tabernacle of witness on the east shall be Moses and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charges of the sanctuary according to the charges of the children of Israel; and the stranger that touches them, shall die.

¹⁵ And Aaron and his sons shall finish covering the holy things, and all the holy vessels, when the camp begins to move; and afterwards the sons of Caath shall go in to take up the furniture; but shall not touch the holy things, lest they die: these shall the sons of Caath bear in the tabernacle of witness.

²⁵ And they shall bear the skins of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of witness, and its veil, and the blue cover that was on it above, and the cover of the door of the tabernacle of witness. ²⁶ And all the curtains of the court which were upon the tabernacle of witness, and the appendages, and all the vessels of service that they minister with they shall attend to. ²⁷ According to the direction of Aaron and his sons shall be the ministry of the sons of Gedson, in all their ministries, and in all their works; and thou shalt take account of them by name in all things borne by them. ²⁸ This is the service of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness, and their charge by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ²⁹ The sons of Merari according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, take ye the number of them. ³⁰ Take the number of them from five and twenty years old and upwards until fifty years old, every one that goes in to perform the services of the tabernacle of witness. ³¹ And these are the charges of the things borne by them according to all their works in the tabernacle of witness: they shall bear the chapiters of the tabernacle, and the bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and the veil, and there shall be their sockets, and their pillars, and the curtain of the door of the tabernacle. ³² And they shall bear the pillars of the court round about, and there shall be their sockets, and they shall bear the pillars of the veil of the door of the court, and their sockets and their pins, and their cords, and all their furniture, and all their instruments of service: take ye their number by name, and all the articles of the charge of the things borne by them. ³³ This is the ministration of the family of the sons of Merari in all their works in the tabernacle of witness, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

²¹ And the sons of Caath shall set forward bearing the holy things, and the others shall set up the tabernacle until they arrive.

¹¹ And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice; and much water came forth, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.

¹ And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his stead. ² And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites. ³ And the Levites numbered themselves from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty and eight thousand men. ⁴ Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord there were twenty-four thousand, and there were six thousand scribes and judges; ⁵ and four thousand door-keepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord. ⁶ And David divided them into daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gedson, Caath, and Merari. ⁷ And for the family of Gedson, Edan, and Semei. ⁸ The sons of Edan were Jeiel, the chief, and Zethan, and Joel, three. ⁹ The sons of Semei; Salomith, Jeiel, and Dan, three: these were the chiefs of the families of Edan. ¹⁰ And to the sons of Semei, Jeth, and Ziza, and Joas, and Beria: these were the four sons of Semei. ¹¹ And Jeth was the chief, and Ziza the second: and Joas and Beria did not multiply sons, and they became only one reckoning according to the house of their father. ¹² The sons of Caath; Ambram, Isaar, Chebron, Oziel, four. ¹³ The sons of Ambram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name for ever. ¹⁴ And as for Moses the man of God, his sons were reckoned to the tribe of Levi. ¹⁵ The sons of Moses; Gersam, and Eliezer. ¹⁶ The sons of Gersam; Subael the chief. ¹⁷ And the sons of Eliezer were, Rabia the chief: and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rabia were very greatly multiplied. ¹⁸ The sons of Isaar; Salomoth the chief. ¹⁹ The sons of Chebron; Jeria the chief, Amaria the second, Jeziel the third, Jekemias the fourth. ²⁰ The sons of Oziel; Micha the chief, and Isia the second. ²¹ The sons of Merari; Mooli, and Musi: the sons of Mooli; Eleazar, and Kis. ²² And Eleazar died, and he had no sons, but daughters: and the sons of Kis, their brethren, took them. ²³ The sons of Musi; Mooli, and Eder, and Jarimoth, three. ²⁴ These are the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; chiefs of their families according to their numbering, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, doing the works of service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward. ²⁵ For David said, The Lord God of Israel has given rest to his people, and has taken up his abode in Jerusalem for ever. ²⁶ And the Levites bore not the tabernacle, and all the vessels of it for its service. ²⁷ For by the last words of David was the number of the Levites taken from twenty years old and upward. ²⁸ For he appointed them to wait on Aaron, to minister in the house of the Lord, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purification of all the holy things, and over the works of the service of the house of God; ²⁹ and for the shew-bread, and for the fine flour of the meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every measure; ³⁰ and to stand in the morning to praise and give thanks to the Lord, and so in the evening; ³¹ and to be over all the whole-burnt-offerings that were offered up to the Lord on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, by number, according to the order given to them, continually before the Lord. ³² And they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.

¹ And king David and the captains of the host appointed to their services the sons of Asaph, and of Aeman, and of Idithun, prophesiers with harps, and lutes, and cymbals: and their number was according to their polls serving in their ministrations. ² The sons of Asaph; Sacchur, Joseph, and Nathanias, and Erael: the sons of Asaph were next the king. ³ To Idithun were reckoned the sons of Idithun, Godolias, and Suri, and Iseas, and Asabias, and Matthathias, six after their father Idithun, sounding loudly on the harp thanksgiving and praise to the Lord. ⁴ To Aeman were reckoned the sons of Aeman, Bukias, and Matthanias, and Oziel, and Subael, and Jerimoth, and Ananias, and Anan, and Heliatha, and Godollathi, and Rometthiezer, and Jesbasaca, and Mallithi, and Otheri, and Meazoth. ⁵ All these were the sons of Aeman the king's chief player in the praises of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Aeman fourteen sons, and three daughters. ⁶ All these sang hymns with their father in the house of God, with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, for the service of the house of God, near the king, and Asaph, and Idithun, and Aeman. ⁷ And the number of them after their brethren, those instructed to sing to God, every one that understood singing was two hundred and eighty-eight. ⁸ And they also cast lots for the daily courses, for the great and the small of them, of the perfect ones and the learners. ⁹ And the first lot of his sons and of his brethren came forth to Asaph the son of Joseph, namely, Godolias: the second Heneia, his sons and his brethren being twelve. ¹⁰ The third Zacchur, his sons and his brethren were twelve: ¹¹ the fourth Jesri, his sons and his brethren were twelve: ¹² the fifth Nathan, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹³ the sixth Bukias, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁴ the seventh Iseriel, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁵ the eighth Josia, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁶ the ninth Matthanias, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁷ the tenth Semeia, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁸ the eleventh Asriel, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁹ the twelfth Asabia, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²⁰ the thirteenth Subael, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²¹ the fourteenth Matthathias, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²² the fifteenth Jerimoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²³ the sixteenth Anania, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²⁴ the seventeenth Jesbasaca, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²⁵ the eighteenth Ananias, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²⁶ the nineteenth Mallithi, his sons and his brethren, twelve:

²⁵ And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the first-fruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his councillors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated. ²⁶ I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred silver vessels, and a hundred talents of gold; ²⁷ and twenty golden bowls, weighing about a thousand drachms, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, precious as gold. ²⁸ And I said to them, Ye are holy to the Lord; and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are freewill-offerings to the Lord God of our fathers. ²⁹ Be watchful and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of families in Jerusalem, at the chambers of the house of the Lord. ³⁰ So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem into the house of our God.

³³ And it came to pass on the fourth day that we weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, into the hand of Merimoth the son of Uria the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Jesus, and Noadia the son of Banaia, the Levites. ³⁴ All things were reckoned by number and weight, and the whole weight was written down.

⁸ And the Levites were, Jesus, Banui, Cadmiel, Sarabia, Jodae, Matthania: he was over the bands,

²² The Levites in the days of Eliasib, Joada, and Joa, and Joanan, and Idua, were recorded heads of families: also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.

⁴⁷ And all Israel in the days of Zorobabel, and in the days of Neemias, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, a daily rate: and consecrated them to the Levites: and the Levites consecrated them to the sons of Aaron.

⁵ and he made himself a great treasury, and there they were formerly in the habit of bestowing the offerings, and the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of the corn, and the wine, and the oil, the ordered portion of the Levites, and singers, and porters; and the first-fruits of the priests.

¹⁰ And I understood that the portion of the Levites had not been given: and they had fled every one to his field, the Levites and the singers doing the work. ¹¹ And I strove with the commanders, and said, Wherefore has the house of God been abandoned? and I assembled them, and set them in their place. ¹² And all Juda brought a tithe of the wheat and the wine and the oil into the treasuries, ¹³ to the charge of Selemia the priest, and Sadoc the scribe, and Phadaea of the Levites: and next to them was Anan the son of Zacchur, son of Matthanias; for they were accounted faithful: it was their office to distribute to their brethren.

²² and I told the Levites who were purifying themselves, and came and kept the gates, that they should sanctify the sabbath-day. Remember me, O God, for these things, and spare me according to the abundance of thy mercy.

^{4 (121:4)} For thither the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

¹⁰ And no stranger shall eat the holy things: one that sojourns with a priest, or a hireling, shall not eat the holy things. ¹¹ But if a priest should have a soul purchased for money, he shall eat of his bread; and they that are born in his house, they also shall eat of his bread. ¹² And if the daughter of a priest should marry a stranger, she shall not eat of the offerings of the sanctuary. ¹³ And if the daughter of priest should be a widow, or put away, and have no seed, she shall return to her father's house, as in her youth: she shall eat of her father's bread, but no stranger shall eat of it.

¹⁰ And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the tabernacle of witness; and they shall keep their charge of priesthood, and all things belonging to the altar, and within the veil; and the stranger that touches them shall die.

³⁸ They that encamp before the tabernacle of witness on the east shall be Moses and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charges of the sanctuary according to the charges of the children of Israel; and the stranger that touches them, shall die.

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ² Take the sum of the children of Caath from the midst of the sons of Levi, after their families, according to the houses of their fathers' households; ³ from twenty-five years old and upward until fifty years, every one that goes in to minister, to do all the works in the tabernacle of witness. ⁴ And these are the works of the sons of Caath in the tabernacle of witness; it is most holy. ⁵ And Aaron and his sons shall go in, when the camp is about to move, and shall take down the shadowing veil, and shall cover with it the ark of the testimony. ⁶ And they shall put on it a cover, even a blue skin, and put on it above a garment all of blue, and shall put the staves through the rings. ⁷ And they shall put on the table set forth for shew-bred a cloth all of purple, and the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the vessels with which one offers drink-offerings; and the continual loaves shall be upon it. ⁸ And they shall put upon it a scarlet cloth, and they shall cover it with a blue covering of skin, and they shall put the staves into it. ⁹ And they shall take a blue covering, and cover the candlestick that gives light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its funnels, and all the vessels of oil with which they minister. ¹⁰ And they shall put it, and all its vessels, into a blue skin cover; and they shall put it on bearers. ¹¹ And they shall put a blue cloth for a cover on the golden altar, and shall cover it with a blue skin cover, and put in its staves. ¹² And they shall take all the instruments of service, with which they minister in the sanctuary: and shall place them in a cloth of blue, and shall cover them with blue skin covering, and put them upon staves. ¹³ And he shall put the covering on the altar, and they shall cover it with a cloth all of purple. ¹⁴ And they shall put upon it all the vessels with which they minister upon it, and the fire-pans, and the flesh-hooks, and the cups, and the cover, and all the vessels of the altar; and they shall put on it a blue cover of skins, and shall put in its staves; and they shall take a purple cloth, and cover the laver and its foot, and they shall put it into a blue cover of skin, and put it on bars. ¹⁵ And Aaron and his sons shall finish covering the holy things, and all the holy vessels, when the camp begins to move; and afterwards the sons of Caath shall go in to take up the furniture; but shall not touch the holy things, lest they die: these shall the sons of Caath bear in the tabernacle of witness. ¹⁶ Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is overseer — the oil of the light, and the incense of composition, and the daily meat-offering and the anointing oil, are his charge; even the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and all things that are in it in the holy place, in all the works. ¹⁷ And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ¹⁸ Ye shall not destroy the family of Caath from the tribe out of the midst of the Levites. ¹⁹ This do ye to them, and they shall live and not die, when they approach the holy of holies: Let Aaron and his sons advance, and they shall place them each in his post for bearing. ²⁰ And so they shall by no means go in to look suddenly upon the holy things, and die. ²¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²² Take the sum of the children of Gedson, and these according to the houses of their lineage, according to their families. ²³ Take the number of them from five and twenty years old and upwards until the age of fifty, every one that goes in to minister, to do his business in the tabernacle of witness. ²⁴ This is the public service of the family of Gedson, to minister and to bear.

¹¹ And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud went up from the tabernacle of witness.

¹⁷ And they shall take down the tabernacle, and the sons of Gedson shall set forward, and the sons of Merari, who bear the tabernacle. ¹⁸ And the order of the camp of Ruben set forward with their host; and over their host was Elisur the son of Sediur. ¹⁹ And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Symeon, was Salamiel son of Surisadai. ²⁰ And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad, was Elisaph the son of Raguel. ²¹ And the sons of Caath shall set forward bearing the holy things, and the others shall set up the tabernacle until they arrive.

⁴⁰ a memorial to the children of Israel that no stranger might draw nigh, who is not of the seed of Aaron, to offer incense before the Lord; so he shall not be as Core and as they that conspired with him, as the Lord spoke to him by the hand of Moses.

²² And the children of Israel shall no more draw nigh to the tabernacle of witness to incur fatal guilt.

¹⁹ And the sons of Jechonias were not pleased with the men of Baethsamys, because they saw the ark of the Lord; and the Lord smote among them seventy men, and fifty thousand men: and the people mourned, because the Lord had inflicted on the people, a very great plague.

⁷ And the Lord was very angry with Oza; and God smote him there: and he died there by the ark of the Lord before God.

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² Make to thyself two silver trumpets: thou shalt make them of beaten work; and they shall be to thee for the purpose of calling the assembly, and of removing the camps. ³ And thou shalt sound with them, and all the congregation shall be gathered to the door of the tabernacle of witness. ⁴ And if they shall sound with one, all the rulers even the princes of Israel shall come to thee. ⁵ And ye shall sound an alarm, and the camps pitched eastward shall begin to move. ⁶ And ye shall sound a second alarm, and the camps pitched southward shall move; and ye shall sound a third alarm, and the camps pitched westward shall move forward; and ye shall sound a fourth alarm, and they that encamp toward the north shall move forward: they shall sound an alarm at their departure. ⁷ And whenever ye shall gather the assembly, ye shall sound, but not an alarm. ⁸ And the priests the sons of Aaron shall sound with the trumpets; and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations. ⁹ And if ye shall go forth to war in your land against your enemies that are opposed to you, then shall ye sound with the trumpets; and ye shall be had in remembrance before the Lord, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. ¹⁰ And in the days of your gladness, and in your feasts, and in your new moons, ye shall sound with the trumpets at your whole-burnt-offerings, and at the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and there shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am the Lord your God. ¹¹ And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud went up from the tabernacle of witness. ¹² And the children of Israel set forward with their baggage in the wilderness of Sina; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Pharan. ¹³ And the first rank departed by the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses. ¹⁴ And they first set in motion the order of the camp of the children of Juda with their host; and over their host was Naasson, son of Aminadab. ¹⁵ And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, was Nathanael son of Sogar. ¹⁶ And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zabulon, was Eliab the son of Chaelon. ¹⁷ And they shall take down the tabernacle, and the sons of Gedson shall set forward, and the sons of Merari, who bear the tabernacle. ¹⁸ And the order of the camp of Ruben set forward with their host; and over their host was Elisur the son of Sediur. ¹⁹ And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Symeon, was Salamiel son of Surisadai. ²⁰ And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad, was Elisaph the son of Raguel. ²¹ And the sons of Caath shall set forward bearing the holy things, and the others shall set up the tabernacle until they arrive. ²² And the order of the camp of Ephraim shall set forward with their forces; and over their forces was Elisama the son of Semiud. ²³ And over the forces of the tribes of the sons of Manasse, was Gamaliel the son of Phadassur. ²⁴ And over the forces of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, was Abidan the son of Gadeoni. ²⁵ And the order of the camp of the sons of Dan shall set forward the last of all the camps, with their forces: and over their forces was Achiezer the son of Amisadai. ²⁶ And over the forces of the tribe of the sons of Aser, was Phageel the son of Echran. ²⁷ And over the forces of the tribe of the sons of Nephthali, was Achire the son of Aenan. ²⁸ These are the armies of the children of Israel; and they set forward with their forces. ²⁹ And Moses said to Obab the son of Raguel the Madianite, the father-in-law of Moses, We are going forward to the place concerning which the Lord said, This will I give to you: Come with us, and we will do thee good, for the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel. ³⁰ And he said to him, I will not go, but I will go to my land and to my kindred. ³¹ And he said, Leave us not, because thou hast been with us in the wilderness, and thou shalt be an elder among us. ³² And it shall come to pass if thou wilt go with us, it shall even come to pass that in whatsoever things the Lord shall do us good, we will also do thee good. ³³ And they departed from the mount of the Lord a three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them a three days' journey to provide rest for them. ³⁴ And the cloud overshadowed them by day, when they departed from the camp. ³⁵ And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Arise, O Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered: let all that hate thee flee. ³⁶ And in the resting he said, Turn again, O Lord, the thousands and tens of thousands in Israel.

⁴⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put on it fire from the altar, and put incense on it, and carry it away quickly into the camp, and make atonement for them; for wrath is gone forth from the presence of the Lord, it has begun to destroy the people.

² And take to thyself thy brethren the tribe of Levi, the family of thy father, and let them be joined to thee, and let them minister to thee; and thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness. ³ And they shall keep thy charges, and the charges of the tabernacle; only they shall not approach the holy vessels and the altar, so both they and you shall not die. ⁴ And they shall be joined to thee, and shall keep the charges of the tabernacle of witness, in all the services of the tabernacle; and a stranger shall not approach to thee. ⁵ And ye shall keep the charges of the holy things, and the charges of the altar, and so there shall not be anger among the children of Israel.

³⁰ And from the half belonging to the children of Israel thou shalt take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses, and from all the cattle; and thou shalt give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord.
