3 from a son of thirty years and upward, even till a son of fifty years, every one going in to the host, to do work in the tent of meeting.
4 `This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, the holy of holies:
5 that Aaron and his sons have come in, in the journeying of the camp, and have taken down the vail of the hanging, and have covered with it the ark of the testimony;
6 and have put on it a covering of badger skin, and have spread a garment completely of blue above, and have placed its staves.
7 `And on the table of the presence they spread a garment of blue, and have put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the cups of the libation, and the bread of continuity is on it,
8 and they have spread over them a garment of scarlet, and have covered it with a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves,

14 and have put on it all its vessels wherewith they minister about it, the censers, the hooks, and the shovels, and the bowls, all the vessels of the altar, and have spread on it a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves:

20 and they go not in to see when the holy thing is swallowed, that they have died.'

34 And Moses numbereth—Aaron also, and the princes of the company—the sons of the Kohathite, by their families, and by the house of their fathers, 35 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years, every one who is going in to the host, for service in the tent of meeting, 36 and their numbered ones, by their families, are two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 37 These are those numbered of the families of the Kohathite, every one who is serving in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, by the command of Jehovah, by the hand of Moses. 38 And those numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their families, and by the house of their fathers, 39 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years, every one who is going in to the host, for service in the tent of meeting, 40 even their numbered ones, by their families, by the house of their fathers, are two thousand and six hundred and thirty. 41 These are those numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, every one who is serving in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the command of Jehovah. 42 And those numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by the house of their fathers, 43 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years, every one who is going in to the host, for service in the tent of meeting, 44 even their numbered ones, by their families, are three thousand and two hundred. 45 These are those numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, by the command of Jehovah, by the hand of Moses. 46 All those numbered, whom Moses numbered—Aaron also, and the princes of Israel—of the Levites, by their families, and by the house of their fathers, 47 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years, every one who is going in to do the work of the service, even the service of burden in the tent of meeting, 48 even their numbered ones are eight thousand and five hundred and eighty; 49 by the command of Jehovah hath one numbered them, by the hand of Moses, each man by his service, and by his burden, with his numbered ones, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Numbers 8:1-26
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 `Speak unto Aaron, and thou hast said unto him, In thy causing the lights to go up, over-against the face of the candlestick do the seven lights give light.'
3 And Aaron doth so; over-against the face of the candlestick he hath caused its lights to go up, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
4 And this is the work of the candlestick: beaten work of gold; unto its thigh, unto its flower it is beaten work; as the appearance which Jehovah shewed Moses, so he hath made the candlestick.
5 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 6 `Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and thou hast cleansed them. 7 `And thus thou dost to them to cleanse them: sprinkle upon them waters of atonement, and they have caused a razor to pass over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and cleansed themselves, 8 and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its present, flour mixed with oil, —and a second bullock a son of the herd thou dost take for a sin-offering, 9 and thou hast brought near the Levites before the tent of meeting, and thou hast assembled the whole company of the sons of Israel, 10 and thou hast brought near the Levites before Jehovah, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites, 11 and Aaron hath waved the Levites—a wave-offering before Jehovah, from the sons of Israel, and they have been—for doing the service of Jehovah. 12 `And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the bullocks, and make thou the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering to Jehovah, to atone for the Levites, 13 and thou hast caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and hast waved them—a wave-offering to Jehovah; 14 and thou hast separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine; 15 and afterwards do the Levites come in to serve the tent of meeting, and thou hast cleansed them, and hast waved them—a wave-offering. 16 `For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of him who openeth any womb—the first-born of all—from the sons of Israel I have taken them to Myself; 17 for Mine is every first-born among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; in the day of my smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself; 18 and I take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel: 19 `And I give the Levites gifts to Aaron and to his sons, from the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, and there is no plague among the sons of Israel in the sons of Israel's drawing nigh unto the sanctuary.' 20 And Moses doth—Aaron also, and all the company of the sons of Israel—to the Levites according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so have the sons of Israel done to them. 21 And the Levites cleanse themselves, and wash their garments, and Aaron waveth them a wave-offering before Jehovah, and Aaron maketh atonement for them to cleanse them, 22 and afterwards have the Levites gone in to do their service in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons; as Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they have done to them. 23 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 24 `This is that which is the Levites': from a son of five and twenty years and upward he doth go in to serve the host in the service of the tent of meeting, 25 and from a son of fifty years he doth return from the host of the service, and doth not serve any more, 26 and he hath ministered with his brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and doth not do service; thus thou dost to the Levites concerning their charge.'
5 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 6 `Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and thou hast cleansed them. 7 `And thus thou dost to them to cleanse them: sprinkle upon them waters of atonement, and they have caused a razor to pass over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and cleansed themselves, 8 and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its present, flour mixed with oil, —and a second bullock a son of the herd thou dost take for a sin-offering, 9 and thou hast brought near the Levites before the tent of meeting, and thou hast assembled the whole company of the sons of Israel, 10 and thou hast brought near the Levites before Jehovah, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites, 11 and Aaron hath waved the Levites—a wave-offering before Jehovah, from the sons of Israel, and they have been—for doing the service of Jehovah. 12 `And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the bullocks, and make thou the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering to Jehovah, to atone for the Levites, 13 and thou hast caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and hast waved them—a wave-offering to Jehovah; 14 and thou hast separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine; 15 and afterwards do the Levites come in to serve the tent of meeting, and thou hast cleansed them, and hast waved them—a wave-offering. 16 `For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of him who openeth any womb—the first-born of all—from the sons of Israel I have taken them to Myself; 17 for Mine is every first-born among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; in the day of my smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself; 18 and I take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel: 19 `And I give the Levites gifts to Aaron and to his sons, from the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, and there is no plague among the sons of Israel in the sons of Israel's drawing nigh unto the sanctuary.' 20 And Moses doth—Aaron also, and all the company of the sons of Israel—to the Levites according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so have the sons of Israel done to them. 21 And the Levites cleanse themselves, and wash their garments, and Aaron waveth them a wave-offering before Jehovah, and Aaron maketh atonement for them to cleanse them, 22 and afterwards have the Levites gone in to do their service in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons; as Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they have done to them. 23 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 24 `This is that which is the Levites': from a son of five and twenty years and upward he doth go in to serve the host in the service of the tent of meeting, 25 and from a son of fifty years he doth return from the host of the service, and doth not serve any more, 26 and he hath ministered with his brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and doth not do service; thus thou dost to the Levites concerning their charge.'
Numbers 26:57-62
57 And these are numbered ones of the Levite by their families: of Gershon is the family of the Gershonite; of Kohath the family of the Kohathite; of Merari the family of the Merarite.
58 These are families of the Levite: the family of the Libnite, the family of the Hebronite, the family of the Mahlite, the family of the Mushite, the family of the Korathite. And Kohath hath begotten Amram,
59 and the name of Amram's wife is Jochebed, daughter of Levi, whom one hath born to Levi in Egypt; and she beareth to Amram Aaron, and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
60 And born to Aaron Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar;
61 and Nadab dieth—Abihu also—in their bringing near strange fire before Jehovah.
62 And their numbered ones are three and twenty thousand, every male from a son of a month and upwards, for they have not numbered themselves in the midst of the sons of Israel; for an inheritance hath not been given to them in the midst of the sons of Israel.
