3 These are the names of the sons of Aharon, the
Kohanim who were anointed, whom he consecrated to
serve in the kohen's office.
4 And Nadav and Avihu died before
vuvh, when they offered strange fire before vuvh, in the
wilderness of Senai, 445 and they had no children: and El-
Azar and Ithamar ministered in the kohen's office in the
sight of Aharon their abba.
5 And vuvh spoke to Moshe, saying,
6 Bring the tribe of Lewi near, and present them before
Aharon the kohen, that they may serve him.
7 And they shall keep his duty, and the duty of the whole
congregation before the Tabernacle of the congregation,
to do the service of the Tabernacle.
8 And they shall guard all the instruments of the
Tabernacle of the congregation, and the duty of the
children of Yisrael, to do the service of the Tabernacle.
9 And you shall give the Lewiym to Aharon and to his
sons: they are wholly given to him out of the children of
Yisrael.
10 And you shall appoint Aharon and his sons, and they
shall guard their kohen's office: and the ger that comes
near shall be put to death.
11 And vuvh spoke to Moshe, saying,
12 See, I have taken the Lewiym from among the children
of Yisrael instead of all the bachor that pehter 446 the
womb among the children of Yisrael: therefore the
Lewiym shall be Mine;
13 Because all the bachor are Mine; for on the day that I
smote all the bachor in the land of Mitzrayim I made all
the bachor in Yisrael kadosh to Me, both man and beast:
they shall be Mine: I am vuvh.
14 And vuvh spoke to Moshe in the wilderness of Senai,
saying,
15 Number the children of Lewi after the bayit of their
ahvot, by their mishpachot: every male from a month old
and upward shall you number them.
16 And Moshe numbered them according to the word of
vuvh, as he was commanded.
17 And these were the sons of Lewi by their names;
Gershon, and Qehath, and Merari.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by
their mishpachot; Livni, and Shimei.
19 And the sons of Kohath by their mishpachot; Amram,
and Yitzhar, Hevron, and Uzzi-El.
20 And the sons of Merari by their mishpachot; Mahli,
and Mushi. These are the mishpachot of the Lewiym
according to the bayit of their ahvot.
21 Of Gershon was the mishpacha of the Livnites, and the
mishpacha of the Shimites: these are the mishpachot of
the Gershonites.
22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the
number of all the males, from a month old and upward,
even those that were numbered of them were seven
thousand five hundred.
23 The mishpachot of the Gershonites shall pitch behind
the Tabernacle westward.
24 And the leader of the bayit of the ahvot of the
Gershonites shall be Eliyasaph the son of Le-El.
25 And the duty of the sons of Gershon in the Tabernacle
of the congregation shall be the Tabernacle, and the tent,
the covering of it, and the covering for the door of the
Tabernacle of the congregation,

26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the
door of the court, which is by the Tabernacle, and by the
altar all around, and the cords of it for all its service.
27 And of Kohath was the mishpacha of the Amramites,
and the mishpacha of the Yisharites, and the mishpacha of
the Hevronites, and the mishpacha of the Uzzielites: these
are the mishpachot of the Kohathites.
28 The number of all the males, from a month old and
upward were eight thousand six hundred, keeping the
duty of the Kadosh-Place.
29 The mishpachot of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on
the side of the Tabernacle southward.
30 And the leader of the bayit of the ahvot of the
mishpachot of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son
of Uzzi-El:
31 And their duty shall be the Ark, and the shulchan, and
the menorah, and the altars, and the vessels of the
Kadosh-Place with which they serve, and the covering,
and all its service.
32 And El-Azar the son of Aharon the kohen shall be
leader over the leaders of the Lewiym, and has the
oversight of those that keep the duty of the Kadosh-Place.
33 Of Merari was the mishpacha of the Mahlites, and the
mishpacha of the Mushites: these are the mishpachot of
Merari.
34 And those that were numbered of them, according to
the number of all the males, from a month old and
upward, were six thousand two hundred.
35 And the leader of the bayit of the ahvot of the
mishpachot of Merari was Zuri-El the son of Avihail:
these shall pitch on the side of the Tabernacle northward.
36 And under the custody and duty of the sons of Merari
shall be the boards of the Tabernacle, and the bars of it,
and the columns of it, and the sockets of it, and all the
vessels of it, and all its service,
37 And the columns of the court all around, and their
sockets, and their pegs, and their cords.
38 But those that camp before the Tabernacle toward the
east, even before the Tabernacle of the congregation
eastward, shall be Moshe, and Aharon and his sons,
keeping the duty of the Kadosh-Place for the duty of the
children of Yisrael; and the ger that comes near shall be
put to death.
39 All that were numbered of the Lewiym, which Moshe
and Aharon numbered at the command of vuvh, by their
mishpachot, all the males from a month old and upward,
were twenty two thousand.
40 And vuvh said to Moshe, Number all the bachor of the
males of the children of Yisrael from a month old and
upward, and take the number of their names.
41 And you shall take the Lewiym for
Me - I am vuvh - instead of all the bachor among the
children of Yisrael, and the cattle of the Lewiym instead
of all the bachor among the cattle of the children of
Yisrael.
42 And Moshe numbered, as vuvh commanded him, all
the bachor among the children of Yisrael.
43 And all the bachor males by the number of names,
from a month old and upward, of those that were
numbered, were twenty two thousand two hundred
seventy three.
44 And vuvh spoke to Moshe, saying,
45 Take the Lewiym instead of all the bachor among the
