³ From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that are fitted for the service, to do work at the tabernacle of the congregation. ⁴ This shall be the service of the sons of Kehath at the tabernacle of the congregation: The most holy things. ⁵ And Aaron shall come with his sons, when the camp setteth forward, and they shall take down the vail of the separation, and cover therewith the ark of the testimony; ⁶ And they shall put over it a covering of badgers’ skins, and they shall spread over all a cloth wholly of blue woollen yarn, and they shall put in its staves. ⁷ And over the table of the showbread shall they spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the tubes, and the staves of the covering; and the continual bread shall be thereon: ⁸ And they shall spread over them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skins; and they shall put in its staves. ⁹ And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the lighting, and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuff-dishes, and all the oil-vessels thereof, wherewith they minister by it: ¹⁰ And they shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of badgers’ skins, and they shall put it upon a barrow. ¹¹ And over the golden altar shall they spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers’ skins; and they shall put in its staves. ¹² And they shall take all the vessels of the service, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers’ skins; and they shall put them on a barrow. ¹³ And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread over it a cloth of purple; ¹⁴ And they shall put upon it all its vessels, wherewith they minister upon it, the fire-pans, the forks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skins, and put in its staves. ¹⁵ And when Aaron and his sons have thus made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward: then shall, after that, the sons of Kehath come to carry it; but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die; these are the things which the sons of Kehath are to carry at the tabernacle of the congregation. ¹⁶ And under the supervision of Elazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the lighting, and the incense of spices, and the daily meat-offering, and the anointing-oil; the supervision of all the tabernacle, and of all that is therein, over the sanctuary, and over its vessels. ¹⁷ And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, ¹⁸ Do ye not cause the tribe of the families of the Kehathites to be cut off from among the Levites; ¹⁹ But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them, every one, to his service and to his burden; ²⁰ That they may not go in to see when the holy things are covered, and die. ²¹ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, ²² Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, by their divisions, after their families; ²³ From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that are fitted for the service, to do work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

²³ From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that are fitted for the service, to do work in the tabernacle of the congregation. ²⁴ This shall be the service of the families of the Gershunites, to serve, and to carry: ²⁵ They shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and of the tent of the congregation, its covering, and the covering of the badgers’ skins that is over it above, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, ²⁶ And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the vessels of their service; and all that is delivered to them shall they perform. ²⁷ By the order of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershunites, in all their carrying, and in all their service: and ye shall designate unto them in charge all which they have to carry. ²⁸ This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershunites at the tabernacle of the congregation; their charge shall be under the supervision of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ²⁹ The sons of Merari, shalt thou number after their families, by their divisions; ³⁰ From thirty years old and upward, even until fifty years old, shalt thou number them, every one that is fitted for the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation. ³¹ And this is what is confided to them to carry, regarding all their service at the tabernacle of the congregation: The boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, ³² And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and all which belongeth thereto; and by name shall ye designate to them the vessels which are confided to them to carry.

² Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman pronounce an especial vow, the vow of a Nazarite, to be abstinent in honor of the Lord:

¹⁴ And he shall bring his offering unto the Lord, one male sheep of the first year without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one ewe of the first year without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for a peace-offering,

¹⁶ And the priest shall bring them near before the Lord, and he shall prepare his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering:

²⁰ And the priest shall make with them a waving before the Lord; it is a holy gift for the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the shoulder that was lifted up: and after that may the Nazarite drink wine.

⁷ And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle upon them water of purification, after they have let the razor pass over all their flesh, and then let them wash their clothes, and so shall they be clean. ⁸ And they shall take a young bullock with his meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.

¹¹ And Aaron shall make with the Levites a waving before the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may be ready to execute the service of the Lord.

¹¹ And Aaron shall make with the Levites a waving before the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may be ready to execute the service of the Lord. ¹² And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt prepare the one as a sin-offering, and the other as a burnt-offering, unto the Lord, to make an atonement for the Levites. ¹³ And thou shalt place the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and make with them a waving before the Lord.

¹³ And thou shalt place the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and make with them a waving before the Lord.

¹⁵ And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: after thou shalt have cleansed them, and made with them a waving.

¹⁷ For mine are all the first-born of the children of Israel, both of man and beast: on the day that I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt did I sanctify them unto myself.

²¹ And the Levites purified themselves, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron made with them a waving before the Lord: and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.

⁸ And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, in performing a pronounced vow, or a peace-offering unto the Lord: ⁹ Then shall he bring with the bullock as a meat-offering, three tenth parts of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil. ¹⁰ And wine shalt thou bring for a drink-offering, half a hin, as a fire-offering of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

⁹ It is too little for you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister for them? ¹⁰ And he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and now will ye seek the priesthood also?

^{46 (17:11)} And Moses said unto Aaron, Take the censer, and put therein fire from off the altar, and put on incense, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them; for the wrath is gone forth from the Lord; the plague hath begun.

² And also thy brethren, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined with thee, and minister unto thee; while thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tabernacle of the testimony. ³ And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar shall they not come near, that they may not die, either they or you. ⁴ And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, respecting all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

⁴ And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, respecting all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you. ⁵ And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be not any more wrath upon the children of Israel. ⁶ And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel; unto you are they given as a gift for the Lord, to perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁶ And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel; unto you are they given as a gift for the Lord, to perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁷ And the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward may he come into the camp; and the priest shall be unclean until the evening. ⁸ And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water; and he shall be unclean until the evening. ⁹ And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the cow, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of sprinkling: it is a purification-offering. ¹⁰ And he that gathereth up the ashes of the cow shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

¹² Such a one shall purify himself with it on the third day and on the seventh day, when he shall be clean; but if he purify himself not on the third day and on the seventh day, he shall not be clean. ¹³ Whosoever toucheth the dead body, the person of any man that is dead, and purifieth himself not, hath defiled the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water of sprinkling was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

¹⁷ And they shall take for the unclean person some of the ashes of the burnt purification-offering, and they shall put thereupon running water in a vessel. ¹⁸ And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that have been there, and upon him that hath touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead, or the grave: ¹⁹ And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and when he hath purified him on the seventh day, then shall he wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.

¹⁹ And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and when he hath purified him on the seventh day, then shall he wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.

²⁰ And every garment, and whatever is made of skins, and every work of goats’ hair, and every vessel made of wood, shall ye purify unto yourselves.

³⁰ And from the half of the children of Israel, shalt thou take one individual, as it may come, from any fifty, of the persons, of beef-cattle, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of cattle; and thou shalt give the same unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.

⁸ At that time did the Lord separate the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

¹⁹ And he smote among the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, namely, he smote among the people seventy men and fifty thousand men: and the people mourned because the Lord had caused among the people a great slaughter.

¹ And when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel. ² And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. ³ And then were numbered the Levites from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, of men, was thirty and eight thousand.

³ And then were numbered the Levites from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, of men, was thirty and eight thousand. ⁴ Of these were twenty and four thousand to superintend the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges; ⁵ And four thousand were gatekeepers: and four thousand those who praised the Lord with the instruments which I have made, to praise therewith. ⁶ And David divided them into divisions after the sons of Levi, after Gershon, Kehath, and Merari. ⁷ Of the Gershunites: La’dan, and Shim’i. ⁸ The sons of La’dan: The chief was Jechiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three. ⁹ The sons of Shim’i: Shelomith, and Chaziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefs of the families of La’dan. ¹⁰ And the sons of Shim’i were, Jachath, Zina, and Je’ush, and Beri’ah. These four were the sons of Shim’i. ¹¹ And Jachath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Je’ush and Beri’ah had not many sons: therefore were they accounted as one family division in the numbering. ¹² The sons of Kehath: ‘Amram, Yizhar, Hebron, and ‘Uzziel, four. ¹³ The sons of ‘Amram, Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was set apart, to sanctify him as most holy, he with his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever. ¹⁴ But as regardeth Moses the man of God, his sons were named after the tribe of Levi. ¹⁵ The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eli’ezer. ¹⁶ Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief. ¹⁷ And the sons of Eli’ezer were, Rechahyah the chief. And Eli’ezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rechahyah became exceedingly numerous. ¹⁸ Of the sons of Yizhar, was Shelomith the chief. ¹⁹ The sons of Hebron: Jeriyahu the chief, Amaryah the second, Jachaziel the third, and Jekam’am the fourth. ²⁰ The sons of ‘Uzziel: Michah the chief, and Yishiyah the second. ²¹ The sons of Merari: Machli, and Mushi. The sons of Machli: El’azar, and Kish. ²² And El’azar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and the sons of Kish, their brethren, took them for wives. ²³ The sons of Mushi: Machli, and ‘Eder, and Jeremoth, three. ²⁴ These were the sons of Levi after their family divisions, even the chiefs of the families, as they were counted by numbering the names after their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.

²⁴ These were the sons of Levi after their family divisions, even the chiefs of the families, as they were counted by numbering the names after their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward. ²⁵ For David said, The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore.

²⁵ For David said, The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore. ²⁶ And also the Levites are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof.

²⁶ And also the Levites are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof. ²⁷ Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above;

²⁷ Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above; ²⁸ Because their station was to be at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and by the purification of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God; ²⁹ And for the shew-bread, which was put in rows, and for the fine flour for meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is sodden, and for all manner of dry and wet measure; ³⁰ And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and so also at evening, ³¹ And at all the offering of burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts, according to the number, and after the manner prescribed for them, continually before the Lord; ³² And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.

³² And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.

¹ David also divided off with the chiefs of the host for the service of the sons of Assaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, those who uttered praise accompanied with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and their number was of the men that did the work in their service. ² Of the sons of Assaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethanyah, and Asharelah, the sons of Assaph under the supervision of Assaph, who uttered praise under the supervision of the king. ³ Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedalyahu, and Zeri, and Jesha’yahu, Chashahyahu, and Matthithyahu, six, under the supervision of their father Jeduthun, who uttered praise with a harp, in order to give thanks and to utter praise unto the Lord. ⁴ Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiyahu, Matthanyahu, ‘Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Chananyah, Chanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-’ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Machaz’oth; ⁵ All these sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, were to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. ⁶ All these were under the supervision of their father at the singing in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, under the supervision of the king, Assaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. ⁷ And their number, with their brethren that were practised in singing unto the Lord, even all that were acquainted therewith, was two hundred eighty and eight. ⁸ And they cast lots, division against division, the small well as the great, the one acquainted with his business together with the scholar. ⁹ And there came forth the first lot for Assaph for Joseph; Gedalyahu was the second, he with his brethren and sons, being twelve: ¹⁰ The third was Zaccur, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve: ¹¹ The fourth was for Yizri, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ¹² The fifth was Nethanyahu, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve: ¹³ The sixth was Bukkiyahu, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve: ¹⁴ The seventh was Jessarelah, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ¹⁵ The eighth was Jesha’yahu, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ¹⁶ The ninth was Matthanyahu, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ¹⁷ The tenth was Shim’i, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ¹⁸ The eleventh was ‘Asarel, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ¹⁹ The twelfth was for Chashahyah, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ²⁰ The thirteenth was Shuhael, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ²¹ The fourteenth was Matthithyahu, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ²² The fifteenth was for Jeremoth, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ²³ The sixteenth was for Chananyahu, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ²⁴ The seventeenth was for Joshbekashah, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ²⁵ The eighteenth was for Chanani, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve; ²⁶ The nineteenth was for Mallothi, his sons, and his brethren, being twelve;

²⁰ And of the Levites, Achiyah was over the treasuries of the house of God, and over the treasuries of the holy things. ²¹ As concerning the sons of La’dan, the sons of the Gershunites of La’dan, the chiefs of the families of La’dan the Gershunite, were the Jechielites. ²² The sons of Jechieli, Zetham, and Joel his brother, were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord. ²³ Of the ‘Amramites, of the Yizharites, of the Hebronites, and of the ‘Uzzielites, ²⁴ Was even Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, superintendent of the treasuries. ²⁵ And his brethren by Eli’ezer: Rechabyahu his son, and Jesha’yahu his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son. ²⁶ This Shelomoth and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the holy things, which king David had sanctified, together with the chiefs of the family divisions, the captains over the thousands and the hundreds, and the captains of the army. ²⁷ Out of the wars, and out of the booty did they sanctify to maintain the house of the Lord. ²⁸ And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruyah, had sanctified, whatsoever any one had sanctified, was under the supervision of Shelomoth and of his brethren. ²⁹ Of the Yizharites were Kenanyahu and his sons for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.

¹¹ Then gave David to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its apartments, and of its treasuries, and of upper chambers, and of its inner chambers, and of the place of the cover of the ark. ¹² And the pattern of all that he had in his spirit, concerning the courts of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the chambers round about, concerning the treasuries of the house of God, and concerning the treasuries of the holy things:

¹² And the pattern of all that he had in his spirit, concerning the courts of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the chambers round about, concerning the treasuries of the house of God, and concerning the treasuries of the holy things: ¹³ Also concerning the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and concerning all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the vessels of service of the house of the Lord;

¹³ Also concerning the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and concerning all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the vessels of service of the house of the Lord; ¹⁴ Concerning the golden vessels, after the weight of the gold, for all the vessels of all manner of service; concerning all the vessels of silver after the weight, for all the vessels of every kind of service; ¹⁵ Also the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, after the weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps; and concerning the candlesticks of silver after the weight, for the candlestick, and for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick; ¹⁶ And the gold after the weight for the tables of the rows of shewbread, for every table; and the silver for the tables of silver; ¹⁷ Also concerning the forks, and the bowls, and the supporters of pure gold; and concerning the golden cups after the weight for every cup; and concerning the silver cups after the weight for every cup; ¹⁸ And concerning the altar of incense the refined gold after the weight; and concerning the pattern of the chariot of the golden cherubim, which spread out their wings, and over the ark of the covenant of the Lord. ¹⁹ All this, said David, was put in writing from the hand of the Lord, who gave me instruction respecting all the works of the pattern.

¹⁶ But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction; and he became unfaithful against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense. ¹⁷ And there went in after him ‘Azaryahu the priest, and with him were priests of the Lord, valiant men, to the number of eighty; ¹⁸ And they stood forward against king ‘Uzziyahu, and they said unto him, It is not for thee, O ‘Uzziyahu, to burn incense unto the Lord, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; and it will not be for thy honor from the Lord God. ¹⁹ But ‘Uzziyahu became wroth, and in his hand was a censer to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, above the altar of the incense. ²⁰ And when ‘Azaryahu the chief priest, with all the priests, turned about toward him, behold, he was leprous on his forehead, and they hurried him away from there: yea, he also made haste to go out, because the Lord had afflicted him.

¹⁵ And they slaughtered the passover-sacrifice on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt-offerings unto the house of the Lord. ¹⁶ And they stood on their station after their prescribed manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God, the priest sprinkling the blood, which they received out of the hand of the Levites. ¹⁷ For there were many in the assembly that had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites had the charge of the slaughtering of the passover sacrifices for every one that was not clean, to sanctify the same unto the Lord.

²⁷ Then arose the priests the Levites and blessed the people: and their voice was listened to, and their prayer came to His holy dwelling-place, even unto heaven.

² And Hezekiah stationed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, of the priests and the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camps of the Lord.

⁸ And his princes set apart much as a freewill gift for the people for the priests, and for the Levites: Chilkiyah, and Zecharyahu, and Jechiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-sacrifices two thousand and six hundred lambs and kids, and three hundred steers. ⁹ And Conanyahu, and Shema’yahu and Nethanel, his brothers, and Chashabyahu and Je’iel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, set apart unto the Levites for passover-sacrifices five thousand lambs and kids, and five hundred steers. ¹⁰ So the service was established, and the priests stood on their station, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king’s command. ¹¹ And they slaughtered the passover-sacrifice, and the priests sprinkled the blood received from their hands, and the Levites did the flaying. ¹² And they removed the burnt-offerings to give them to the divisions of the family divisions of the sons of the people, to offer them unto the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the steers. ¹³ And they roasted the passover by the fire in accordance with the prescribed manner; but the holy offerings they seethed in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the sons of the people. ¹⁴ And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests; because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering the burnt-offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests the sons of Aaron. ¹⁵ And the singers the sons of Assaph were on their station, according to the command of David, and Assaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the gatekeepers were at every gate: they had no need to depart from their service; because their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

^{2 (51:4)} Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

^{7 (51:9)} Cleanse me from sin with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

⁵¹ And he smote all the first-born in Egypt; the first of their strength in the tents of Ham;

³⁶ And he smote all the first-born in their land, the first of all their strength.

¹⁰⁵ NUN. A lamp unto my feet is thy word, and a light unto my path.

¹³⁰ The opening of thy words giveth light, it giveth understanding unto the simple.

⁸ He it is who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of cattle;

²⁰ Hold to the law and to the testimony: if they are not to speak according to this word, in which there is no light.

¹¹ Depart ye, depart ye, go out from there, touch no unclean thing; go ye out from the midst of it; cleanse yourselves, ye bearers of the vessels of the Lord.

¹⁵ Thus will he cause many nations to jump up in astonishment; at him will kings shut their mouth; for what had not been told unto them shall they see, and what they had never heard shall they understand.

¹⁰ But the Lord was pleased to crush him through disease: when now his soul hath brought the trespass-offering, then shall he see his seed, live many days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

¹⁴ Wash from wrong doing thy heart, O Jerusalem, in order that thou mayest be saved. How long wilt thou let lodge within thee the thoughts of thy wickedness?

¹² And also my sabbaths gave I unto them, to be as a sign between me and between them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctify them.

²⁵ And I will sprinkle upon you clean water, and ye shall be clean: from all your impurities, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

⁸ And because ye have not kept the charge of my holy things; but ye have set those unworthy ones as keepers of my charge in my sanctuary at your own pleasure.

¹¹ And they shall be in my sanctuary, servants, appointed to watch at the gates of the house, and to be servants for the house: these are they that shall slay the burnt-offerings and the sacrifices for the people, and they shall stand before them to do the service for them.

¹¹ And they shall be in my sanctuary, servants, appointed to watch at the gates of the house, and to be servants for the house: these are they that shall slay the burnt-offerings and the sacrifices for the people, and they shall stand before them to do the service for them. ¹² Because that they used to serve them before their idols, and have been unto the house of Israel as a stumbling-block of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Eternal, and they shall bear their iniquity; ¹³ And they shall not come near unto me, to officiate as priests unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the most holy things; but they shall bear their shame, yea, for their abominations which they have committed. ¹⁴ And I will appoint them to be keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

¹⁷ And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, on that day which I create as a special treasure: and I will spare them, as a man spareth his son that serveth him.
